Curling iron/wand...



Today I have an outfit for you and a recomendation for a curling iron/wand.
First the curling iron. I got it a couple weeks ago because I needed one to take with me to college. It has a mini clip on it for curling your hair like a curling iron, but it also has the spiral going down it to curl your hair like a wand.

I have used it before to just curl my hair, but today was the first day I tried using it as a wand and I loved it. It works so well either way you use it. I especially like it because I have long hair and it is made with an extra long barrel. Plus the spiral on it makes it easier to use as a wandAnd guess how much I paid for it... $15. I know it was a crazy deal, I got mine at Shopko, but I've seen this one at Target and I'm sure Walmart will have it too.

That's how my hair turned out with using the curling iron as a wand.
I think it gives it more of an effortless curl.

Now on to the Outfit. It's getting pretty cold where I live, so I thought it was time to break out the leather jacket. I got this last yeat in April for my birthday, and I havn't got to wear it much because it wasn't the right weather for it.
I paired my leather jacket with a lace blouse, skinny jeans, and my favortie new booties.

 
Nothing in my outfit was thrifted today, but the leather jacket I practically stole; it was on sale for only $30.


haha, sorry for the messy bed.

Leather Jacket- Wilsons Leather

Booties

So I just got these new little booties and I absolutely adore them! They are so comfortable that I could walk a million miles in them and they are just so chic. Since fall is coming we now have to worry about warmth, and these shoes do the trick. The price was reasonable too, I got them for $17 at Kohl's, but I had $30 in Kohl's cash or they would have been $47 which isn't too bad; but I did see them on sale for $32 the weekend before so if that's a little out of your price range I'd suggest waiting for another sale or putting them on your Christmas list becaues I know I'll still be rocking them in winter too. They are perfect for Fall because of the color and wedge, but they also have a grip bottom which is in style right now as well as perfect for the seasons that are ahead of us.
I wore them both nights this weekend; Friday I had a family dinner and Saturday I went out to dinner with my parents, so the outfits are a little more casual but you could dress these up or down.
They are just so perfect.

Friday night family dinner.

Candid shots are always the best.

Saturday night dinner with my parents.


This is my boyfriend, Steven, and I just wanted to share his outfit of the day too.
This is Friday night.  
He has a very quirky style, but it is very inspiring, so whenever I get pics of his outfits I'll share them with you.
I think everything from his outfit was thrifted.

Statement Jewelry


I bought this necklace a while ago and finally found a cute outfit to rock it with. When you have statement jewelry try to keep the shirt and mostly everything else in your outfit simple, so it doesn't take away from the piece itself.







Necklace- Resale Shop $4.99
Top- TJ Maxx
Tank- American Eagle
Jeans- Levis
Boots- Target from Goodwill $4.99
Earrings- Thrifted $1.99

Outfit of the Day


Just a random Monday outfit. It was very comfortable with the dress and the jean jacket... I LOVE MY JEAN JACKET. You should invest in one if you don't have one already or a jean vest, which I am on the lookout for. My jean jacket was only $15 clearance at Kohls last summer and we probably had a coupon too, but I've seen some people find some great ones at Goodwill and if your looking for a jean vest you can DIY and jean jacket into one, just a possibility?



Jean Jacket- Kohl's
