The Ole Switcheroo!

After cleaning out the my closet on Sunday, I switched out the curtains in the master bedroom.  I had new curtains in a bag in the closet, they needed to be hung where they belonged.  They were in that bag for about 2 months taking up space.  These are a little heavier than the cream colored curtains that were hanging, I like the new ones better, they soften the light in the room.  The master bedroom has 8 windows that need to be covered, a lot of windows and it's expensive!

Before.....

and after.

I still get a lot of light though, until I pull the curtains closed.

 So I found my curtains at Ollie's, a little discount store that my sister-in-law introduced me too (thanks, girl!)  

They were only $12.99 per pair!  WOW, you can't find them this cheap per pair anywhere else, and beleive me I've tried.  With so many windows to cover, it costs a lot of money!

 So here are the old cream colored curtains and the new soft teal and cocoa flocked curtains with grommets, love the grommets, you can easily pull them closed.  They are pretty and add more color and texture to the room.

Up close picture of the pattern.

 Moved a couple of pieces of furniture around.

 Cleaned up and cleaned out, and the room is done.

The Five Ninety Nine Bunch

The hubby and I took a road trip through York and Lancaster, Pennsylvania yesterday, he had the day off.  Our first stop was Gabriel Brothers, what a great store with big discounts.  Who doesn't love saving money for nice things.  I always head to the costume jewelry racks, my favorite place in the store. They always have unique pieces that you don't see everywhere else, and at their prices you can't resist them.  Check out what I found.

Jackets And Scarves

Jackets and scarves are essential pieces to have in your wardrobe, they both can change a whole outfit.  Various colors and patterns are a must to pair with your jeans and dress pants.  Just having the right color around your face can brighten your skin tone.  I pulled a few outfits together that I wear in the Fall and Winter months, all were paired with dark wash skinny jeans.  These outfits are to show you how to use color, and not so much as, that you have all of the same pieces of clothing.  Mix it up and have fun with color, take a look!
