Shop like a boss to dress like one!

Today I was on duty monitoring the hallways during my conference hour. One of the seniors walked by and asked if I was a student! I'm pretty sure I gave him a weird look because all I was thinking was, "Do I dress like a high-schooler?! I think not! Seriously, the snake skin wedges I was rocking are totally not teenage garb, at all! 

So here's how to shop like a bauss! It is all about thrifting and shopping clearance. Seriously, I cannot rationalize spending full price on anything anymore! Not when I find deals like this. Take this Olive green belted shirt dress, for example. I found this brand new, with tags, at Goodwill for $5.99. It is super comfy, has adjustable sleeves, and the belt and collared neckline make it dressy enough to wear to work. This is probably one of my favorite dresses to wear because I always feel so put together and polished in it.

Then check out the adorable wedges I paired with it. These faux snakeskin wedges are a) ADORABLE!!, and b) perfect to wear all day at work. And I snagged them from the clearance rack at JCP for only $9!!



So for about $15 I got an entire outfit! Add some lavender nail polish and you're done! :)

    1. Yes! Lucas takes the pictures for me. And it is probably exactly how you imagine it. Lol. He doesn't get why I need a million retakes. Usually I can get 2 pics from him before he is done. Lol. But he's sweet to take them for me :)
