Scarf Style

I have been having so much fun helping my clients with wardrobe consultations.  One of my favorite tricks to show them is a new way to wear their scarves...

When you drape it around your neck and belt it across the middle, it gives you a vest-like look.  This tends to work best with lighter gauzy scarves, and neutral outfits underneath.  Here I have a plain black tank, skinny black pants, and simple black pumps under the fun gauzy scarf.  

Style Diary: A good addition

I picked this fun flyaway cardigan vest at Belk on a recent trip to East Tennessee for around $20.  I have been able to wear it with several outfits.  Here it is with a simple tank and white shorts for running errands. 

 I got this little sundress at Gap Outlet for $20.  It was a little skimpy for church, so I threw the new cardigan over it and it looked more appropriate.

Then I belted it over another sundress for another look.  I think this is going to be great heading into fall...

Bargain Beauty Faves

Most of you know that I am a pretty big BARGAIN shopper!  This includes my beauty and makeup products.  Here are just a few of my favorite bargain beauty products that I love...



1.  Avon Magix Primer:  I have fairly oily skin, and this primer really helps.  Even here in the humid hot Memphis weather.  When my skin is behaving, I use this under my mineral powder, and that is all I have to wear.  I usually order it from Ebay, but of course, you can get it from an Avon rep.
2.  Rimmell Lash Accelerator Mascara:  I have been using this for about a year, and I have been AMAZED at how long my lashes have grown.  This stuff is great!  I picked it up on sale at Walgreens and I had a coupon, so it was super cheap.

3. I love cream blushes.  They just stay on so much better than powders.  This one from E.L.F.  is only $1 I think.  It lasts forever.

4.  Loreal Endless Timeless Tawny Lipstick:  I learned about this color from Tiffany D.  It is the most beautiful, easy, versatile color, ever!  The sad part is they have discontinued it, but the great part is recently I have found them at Big Lots for $1.50-2.00.  If you see me rummaging through every Big Lots I am near, now you know why.

5.  E.L.F.: Eyeliner pen:  I can hardly leave the house without eyeliner, or I look like a corpse.  This is also only $1.  It draws a great dark, waterproof line, which you can make as thin or thick as you like.  I buy these 5 or 6 at a time because they are so cheap.  Target has recently started carrying it, which is great because I don't have to pay for shipping.

Hopefully, I can share some bargain hair buys with you soon...  Let me know if you try any of these (or if you see my lipstick at Big Lots).
