Red Hunter Rainboots and Boy Jeggings

"I don't like those,"
Pigtails said as I showed her a pair of cute jeggings I bought at Target.
"What about these?"  I asked, holding up some cupcake printed leggings.
"Yes, I like those," she nodded.
I asked her why she didn't like the jeggings and she said they were "boy ones."
Maybe I should've saved them for Bucket.

I have been anxiously waiting to wear my new Hunters that Khaki and Argyle (Camo's brother and sister-in-law) gave me for Christmas.  So this last week I was thrilled when it started pouring rain.  Both days I paired them with leggings, knee high socks and slubby sweaters.  When it gets warmer I'll wear them with a dress!

The fun thing about having bright red rainboots is they sort of match nothing which kinda makes them match everything.  This not only includes "boy" jeggings but colorful printed cupcake leggings as well!

Pink Cords, Jeffrey Campbells and Other Stuff

"Baby, fetch!"
Princess Sparkles said as she threw a ball down the hallway.
Sparkles was trying to get Bucket away from her stuff.
Now that Bucket walks, he gets into everything.
He especially loves pie tins, sandwich bags, his sisters' stuff, 
the trash and the toilet.  Oh baby.


DENIM AND LEATHER MOTO JACKET - Forever 21, $8
BLACK EMBROIDER DRESS - Last Chance Boutique
LEATHER BOOTS - Goodwill, $7
SUNGLASSES, SOCKS - Forever 21
EARRINGS - Vintage (hand-me-down from mom!)




PRINTED PINK CORDS, PURPLE TANK - Target
GRAY SWEATER - Hand-me-down
WEDGE BOOTIES - Jeffrey Campbell

Here is the new denim and leather moto jacket I got off the clearance racks of F21 for $8!  I'm wearing it with the thrifted leather boots I found at GW for $7!  In the second outfit are the new printed pink cords I got at Target on clearance for $7.  I paired them with purple and gray.  I'm linking this outfit up to "Inspiration Monday" from Two Birds.

I'm obsessed with the clearance racks and can't believe all the great deals.  They're even cheaper than the thrift store (or eating out!).  Especially Forever 21, who is having a 50% off already reduced prices.  I can't help but go in, head straight for clearance and get into everything!!!

Red Jeans, Green Sweater and Wings

"Santa, I love you, Santa!"
Pigtails looked up to the sky and shouted after seeing her gifts.
This was a complete 180 from last year when she saw Santa and ran away.
Bucket decided he would start walking for Christmas.
And Princess Sparkles, who got her pixie dust, let me know,
"Next year I'm going to ask Santa for wings."
Good thing I have a year to work on that one.

Here are a couple red and green outfits I wore over the holidays.  I got a couple cute sweaters from the Loft, for 50% off!  The leggings are from Loehmanns when my sister, Polka Dots, and I went at midnight for a 50% off sale.  The contrast leather coat I got at the after Christmas sale from Foreign Exchange.  I was excited to wear my $19 BDG red jeans with the $8 sweater I got from Old Navy last year while I was pregnant.




The after Christmas shopping was especially fabulous this year with the 50% off sales going on everywhere.  We didn't go away for the holidays, but it was nice to have some time off from our usual hectic schedule.  But now that we're back I'm having trouble adjusting (hence not blogging for almost a month!).  I can't seem to get anywhere on time.  Maybe I need to get me some wings!
