dressing up casually

dress: rue, $10. tights: TJ Maxx, $7. boots: Belk, $15.

I've been lovin' the colored tights recently and now have four different colors. 

Those boots were originally eighty dollars but I couponed my way to fifteen. Not trying to brag or anything. The dress was on clearance and pretty much screamed at me until I bought it. I absolutely love the orange, the two different textures, and the free belt that came with it. 

The only time I get to dress up is for the pew on Sunday mornings. I love simple outfits like this for church! Casual dress up clothes make me happy. 

Shopping in the clearance section has given me better finds than shopping in the regular priced sections. I never pay full price for a piece of clothing anymore unless I know I will wear it until it ruins or what I'm buying will never go out of style.

I hope you guys are having a terrific day / week / start of 2013!
