All Around The World









Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone is enjoying the day off and eating some good food. Today is also Mel's birthday. Happy Birthday Babe! We're going to a family brunch which is going to be awesome because her uncle is a great cook. We're also planning to go thrift shopping at the Goodwill stores as they're having a 50% off sale again. Other than that, we don't have anything special planned but hopefully someone we know will be having a cookout so I can eat some more good food!!

 Mel and I attended a business networking event last night and this is what I wore. I thrifted the high rise/high-waisted jeans from Goodwill for about $4. High waisted jeans may be a little hard to pull but one tip I can offer is to wear it with a fitted shirt or a crop top. I paired mine with a graphic tank with some top cities listed on it and a cute blazer that I found on the clearance rack at Target. It was on sale for about $17. It's available online now at a discounted price. I got the ankle boots at Nordstrom Rack for $30. That's a huge deal with the original price being $160. I added some hoop earrings and gold bangles and the outfit was complete.

    Thanks Christina. No cookouts but I did go shopping and ate lots of bread from Wetzel Pretzel. So good but oh so bad.
