Splish, Splash!


We may need an ark before this day is over. The rain, and lots and lots of it, is coming!! Well, I am prepared! My new rain boots from Target came yesterday!! I have been wanting a pair for a long time but I'm cheap. I didn't want to pay $24.99 and up for them. I was perusing the Target website during the Black Friday sales and found them for $15!!! YAY!! They were in my cart faster than you can turn around! And they were at my house yesterday! I was never so excited to see rain in the forecast!

I also decided to jump on the military look/skinny olive cargo pant band wagon. I've seen many in Style Nation wear them and look oh so cute. Again. I'm cheap. But Saturday, Charlotte Russe still had a Black Friday sale going on and I scored a pair for $14!! (I've looked and looked at Goodwill and other thrift stores and couldn't find a pair in my size. Finding them on sale, though, was almost as good!)Oh and a little tip from me to you? Don't do what I did and buy up a size because they are skinny pants and you're afraid they'll be too tight after they are washed. I spent the entire day pulling them up!

I guess I was channeling...oh, everyone when I put this outfit together! LOL  But here's a pic from Chictopia and one of Posh Spice. <snort> As if.

 I liked the black and gray with the green. Here's how I did it:





Pulling up my pants yet again!
I added a leopard scarf to mine because I was cold. I also employed my favorite layering trick. I have a gray sequin tank top on top of a gray t shirt. And topped it with my thrifted black wool blazer. What do you think?

Ok. Y'all have a great day. I'm taking my rain boots out to splash in some puddles!!

  13. You look great. Utilitarian, chic and classic. The best thing about networks such a Chictopia is the inspiration you get from them. Nice job in translating the look to real life.
    Animal print and army green somehow go together, a logical combo, although I'm not sure why.

    The rainboots! LOVE!

    And your rainboots (especially the way you practically stole them from Target) are fab.

    Leaving the House in THIS?!?!
