Quick Hit and Run Post

I got this purse at Goodwill this week for $4 and I thought it was so cute, I just had to share it with y'all!! It says it's all leather and it feels like it is.  But I can't find a brand name on it anywhere. 

I love this pink gingham shirt.  I just wish I could find a blue one just like it!!  These suede loafers are several years old.  I paid way too much for them at Macy's and I barely ever wear them!

Maybe, I'll start a weekly what I got at Goodwill post.....

Off to work! BYE!!

Happy Belated New Year

 This is what I wore to work on Christmas Eve. Please ignore the dead mums on the left!
  
Yeah, I thought I'd wish you all a Happy New Year before Valentine's Day.  I'm still around, even if I'm not posting.  And I'm reading your blogs, even if I'm not commenting.  I just haven't felt the posting bug, you know?

A lot of things have changed in the last several months and I just haven't felt like taking pictures and posting.  Not to mention that you really don't want to see me in AT&T shirts everyday. I am officially stating that I'm stepping back from Southern Comfort.  I may post every now and again, if the mood strikes.  

We started this blog because A. We were bored at work. B. We thought it'd be a blast to do together. and C. I wanted to get out of the blahness of style that I'd fallen into.  And we accomplished all those things.  We are no longer at that boring job. And it has seriously been a blast. I've met some amazing people thru this blog and been inspired! I do feel like I've stepped up my style.  There is nothing like having your picture taken every day to make you step it up a notch!

I do want Leah and Krystle to keep on posting. I think they both have wonderful styles.  Leah always amazes me with her finds.  I swear we could go to the same place and she could find the gold where I couldn't! So please keep reading Southern Comfort every day! The original peeps may have changed but the heart of Southern Comfort hasn't.  We are still small town Southern girls looking for great bargains!

This isn't goodbye, just goodbye for now.  And you can always find me on Pinterest!!
 

Feeling a Little Koi

Mustard shell- target 2010,
Grey cropped sweater- shrunken and gifted from friend, Tammie,
Silk scarf- Japan via thrifting,
Skinnies and boots- you already know by now,
Koi ring- ebay. The ring was $4.95 with $5.00 shipping...

I didn't see the shipping price and INSTANTLY regretted bidding on it. I ultimately won this ring and dreaded it's arrival. Even when the ring came I regretted the purchase and hadn't planned on wearing it. When I put the outfit together i was looking through my expanding ring collection and "The Little Koi That Could" jumped out at me. It was PERFECT! And I was so happy that I had it. How's that for an underdog fairytale ending?

It's a Jungle...

...in HERE! It finally got cold here for more than 2 days at a time. (we have been so spoiled with this super mild southern winter this year) AND then it was rainy... so yeah... my kids are driving me bonkers! You'd think that they are wild animals swinging around the jungle. And you know what they say... "If you can't beat 'em (which would probably just end up with a call to DFACS) join 'em!" So here's my jubgle look.

green leopard shirt- thirfted $1, black sweater vest- gifted from my big sister, Bonnie, skinnies- levis outlet, boots-rack room, necklace- BR outlet, belt- gifted from my wonderful friend, Emily, tiger ring- ebay $0.99 FREE SHIPPING! Woots! (little back story on the ring... my friend, Emily gave me one just like this and I accidently gave it to one of my little sisters. I pinned for the ring so I bought a replacement.

Checks This Out

So I found this super cute Style&Co navy gingham button down. It's a tad too large but I was excited to see what I could do with it.

Ever have one of those outfits that feels fantastic on, makes you super confident, but then photographs poorly? Yeah... it's like this. I loved the idea of pattern mixing with a monochromatic theme. I popped it witht his magenta cardi and added silver jewels. Opinions? Hit or miss?

You've seen this skirt and these tights and boots. I wanted to try it again pattern mixing the navy print skirt with the navy gingham button down. Brown argyle tights just for fun. Again I ask... Hit or miss? Also my hair was FREAKING out not to mention the acne problem I have been having lately. And this blog is about the clothes so... head cropped.

Not for Sale

I got this really gorgeous scarf from my sister-in-law, Elyse, for Christmas. It has all my favorite oranges, greens and purples in it and is super lightweight but so soft and warm on my neck. It is from a company called "Not for Sale" They work with women in 3rd world countries to keep them out of the slave trade. It's a really wonderful idea and it makes me love the scarf even more!

I also got these really beautiful diamond earrings from the hubs. So... What did y'all get for Christmas?

Hot Chocolate

I'm talking about the color! Not me for heavens sakes!

Sweater- NY&Co- thrifted, White and brown patterned button down- style&co- thrifted, necklace- BR outlet on sale, boots- rack room on sale, New skinnie Jeans- Levis outlet $35 (ps i love them to pieces and try not to wear them EVERYDAY!!!)

polky blouse- no tag- thrifted, chartruese cardi- target, chunky short sleeved sweater- no tag, thrifted.

Anyone else obsessed this week with chocolate brown? FOr me it must have been all of these that I ate ALL by myself... oops.
