Outfit Details
Shoes: Impo Thrifted
Skirt: Thrifted
Top: Banana Republic (last Decemeber)
Bracelet: Thrifted
Earrings: F21
Belt: Took it from one of my dresses :O)
I'm still not completely sold on these witch/pilgrim shoes but I love them. Does that make sense? haha I hate it when you have something in your closet that you really like and hate it at the same time. I do LOVE this old fashioned skirt. I got it at Savers of course for like $3 and when I initially tried it on it wouldn't zip...that was when I was getting my masters..and wrote papers and never moved for a year and a half! I like to think I am continuing to drop the lbs..it has definitely been a struggle but I'm gonna keep goin..anyway..this top is from Banana Republic, on sale, but it is quite obvious that I am what you would call cheap frugal, and I really don't like paying more than $10 for anything.unless it is my make up, which is almost triple the price of 90% of my CLOSET! Anyway, back to the top...it was $18, I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but I also bought THESE shoes for $10 from there, so it just makes me mad sometimes how things are priced!
Can I just say once again, I am so humbled by all of the comments all of you sweets have been leaving? I mean seriously, I really wish there was more time in the day and I could actually visit every single one of you!!

Since I am still new to this blogging world, and since I don't know all of you, I am asking if you could introduce yourself and tell me who you are so I can get to know you, and everyone else can too! Just leave it in the comment section it will be fun. K I will start

"Hi my name is Shana, I was born and raised in Vegas, I am not a stripper though I dance, I love my family, music, vintage, and my boo boos (my 2 labs Sophie and Sampson & 2 cats Oscars and Sasha)...I am loving blogging as it is getting me to really dig deep into my closet and enjoy all of the amazing pieces I have found over the years and I have been gifted. I love my husband and can't wait to start a family and look like some of you fabulous mommies who are rockin skinny jeans and stiletto's...to many more posts, comments and inspiration to be had by all . The END"

See not so hard huh? haha ok let's see who we can get to know shall we...

  1. First of all, I love that skirt and shirt combo. So much fun!

    I think you know me somewhat, but I'll give a recap. I'm Elizabeth, I'm from WA State. I currently live with my parents and work part-time at a local university, but I'm headed to Europe this summer and grad school this fall. I can't wait for all the excitement in store!!! I love sports, dogs, and laughing so hard my abs hurt. Most importantly, I'm addicted to shoes and aspire to have your closet and thrifting skills.

    And then I wrote an essay. :)

  7. Hello my name is Sarah & I fell in love with Shana at a Taco Bell in college (Dawnya is there a theme going here?). I'm from California and now live outside of Washington DC in a small town called Ashburn in Virginia. I'm really enjoying meeting people through this blogging network. Other people and their creativity inspires me. Plus with ColorBlind I've had to force myself to go through my closet and create new outfits. Fun!

    Good idea Shana on the introduction thing!

  8. first i adore this outfit! i have very bland skirts, i need to find some colorful ones!! and the shoes and shirt are to die for, totally cute and put all together is just perfection!

    I'm Hillary, I was born and raised in Cali and miss it ever so much, being transplanted to Utah for almost the last 10 yrs. I have 4 girls and one military hubby who deploys 4x a year, so i do it all alone most of the time. I love fashion and style and wish i could be super savvy, but i'm just trying to get my body and style back after all these kiddos and trying to push myself to be more bold and out of my comfort zone, cuz fashion should be FUN and playful and enjoyable!!

  13. Oh, and my mom told me 100 times not to eat the Pyracantha berries when I was little. However, we would pick them, mash them and "paint" the fence in my backyard with them.

    But look what Wikipedia says: Pyracantha berries are not poisonous as commonly thought; although they are very bitter, they are edible when cooked and are sometimes made into jelly.
