Meet Maddy!

I was having trouble finding a mannequin to display my outfits so my very kind and wonderful sister jumped into action (as she always does, bless her heart) and bought this one for me.  Her name is Maddy and she will be featured many times throughout the week on this blog.  Today Maddy is wearing:

Tropical Print Green and Navy Dress - KMart, $29.99

White Denim Jacket - Avenue, $24.99

                 Silver Necklaces - Gabriel's, $5.00 each                                   

Scarf Print Dress in Blue, Orange and White - Ross, $7.99 

Necklace (also came with earrings) - Gabriel's, $5.99

  

        This is the orange necklace and earring set

        from Gabriel's for $5.99 - good price and quality is very nice

      

          Pink Necklace and earring set from            

            Charming Charlie's - $10.00                       

           

        This little number I found in the clearance bin

                  at Avenue for .99 cents.  Always check clearance!

  

       I had to have these shoes! So cute and on sale,       

       couldn't pass them up - Red and Navy Chaps by      

       RL Shoes - Kohl's, $19.99

Silver Studded Shoes -KMart, $9.99

I was looking for a green handbag, that is one color I do not have, and found this one at TJ Maxx for $20.00.  It has an adjustable handle so you can carry it crossbody or short and over the shoulder.

The Fashion Plate

Yes that's me!  I must have been about 4 or 5 years old in this picture and it is the very early 1960's.  As you can see, I was fashionable back then.  I have my beret on, heels and my clutch bag which were very popular then.  If you look closely I even have my gloves in my clutch.  Every classy lady wore her gloves back in those days.  Oh yeah, I was a fashion plate!  And, I still love clothes.....

I put this outfit together to wear to dinner and a movie:

Navy blue and white polka dot top w/navy cami $34.99 - Avenue

White skinny jeans $18.99 - WalMart

Navy and white sandals $24.99 - Marshalls

Handbag $14.99 - Dress Barn

Necklace and earring set $5.99 - Gabriel Brothers

Bracelet $7.50 - Avenue

I love, love, love animal prints they never go out of style.

 I picked this raincoat up at KMart for $10.00!  It was on a clearance rack and originally priced at $49.99.  Always, always check clearance racks first, the best bargains are there.  I never pay full price for anything.  The scarf was brand new, still in the package, and I paid $5.00 for it at Rice's Flea Market.

I put this outfit together to go to the grocery store.  

White Jean Jacket $24.99 - Avenue

Purple print embellished neck bubble top $3.00 - WalMart (that's right 3 bucks!)

Denim skinny jeans $8.00 - WalMart

Black patent t-strap wedgies $24.99 - Marshalls

Purple beaded earrings and bracelet  $19.00 - Kohl's 

As I said before, I never pay full price for anything.  Whether it be items for the house, the car, clothing or whatever has to be purchased.  Check clearance first.  All stores have clearance racks.  If you find anything minor wrong with your items always ask for more of a discount.  Here is a famous quote from my mother "you don't get what you don't ask for".
