Flirty Skirts

I am starting to get into wearing skirts and dresses this year for spring and summer, they are cooler to wear than long pants. I was out and about yesterday and stopped in at my local Boscov's Department Store, they had  a whole rack of  these skirts on sale in different patterns for $21.99, so I picked two of them up.  They are pleated from the waist, then open up to a flowy skirt, they have a grosgrain ribbon waistband with a hook and eye closure and zipper.  Very comfortable to wear and flattering to boot!

Black and white polka dot cotton skirt, coral lace tank, white cotton sweater, coral bow flats and aqua ombre flower and rhinestone necklace with matching bracelet and lucite and rhinestone drop earrings.

Blue and white cotton printed skirt, blue cap sleeve peasant top, red and white buckle flats,  red beaded ball necklace with matching bracelet and metal red and blue bead drop earrings.

All Dressed Up and Everywhere to Go

So, I cleaned out my closet yesterday (I will show you pictures of that later) and to my surprise found some things I have never worn.  Don't laugh, you all have done this too! SO I dressed up Maddy in some outfits that I would wear out to dinner, a movie, shopping (which I love), or lunch with friends.

Beauty Alert!

The bottle on the left is Oil of Olay Skin Toner.  I have been using this stuff forever and always have a backup so I never run out of it.  I think WalMart has the cheapest price, about $4.00.  Pour this on a cotton ball, rub all over your face, after you have washed it, and see all the dirt that it pulls out of your skin.  In fact, you don't even have to wash your face you can just use this and it will clean it. You will be amazed.  Keeps pores from clogging up and therefore no blemishes.  And yes, you still get them when your 56 years old!

The little tube on the bottom is ELF.  ELF makes very inexpensive good makeup and you can find it at Target.  This little tube does wonders.  With just a little dab, it will brighten your eyes and lift your lips.  Put a small dab on the tip of your finger, brush under your brow bones, in the corners of your eyes (near your nose, that corner), and swipe it over the top part of your lips.  Instant brighter face!

Cute bobby pins to hold all the summer fly away hairs that blow in your face.  They add a little sparkle too. And who doesn't like sparkle!
