Just a peak at the bolder pieces of my outfit for tonight's Charlotte International Fashion Week 2012 runway show.

I want to share the whole ensemble after the fact ;).

I am a bit nervous, to tell you the truth.

I may be going alone...aaand this is my first time attending a fashion event as press.

What am I even supposed to do? 

(joking. not joking)

I will be instagram-ing it up as much as possible, so check in later! @lifeinmod

Happy, happy weekend!

My inner Twiggy came out. Like whoah.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Twiggy, I sincerely apologize for this attempt at emulating you.

I had too much fun. Obvi.

the outfit: 

Marshalls chambray button-up ($9.99)

Old Navy cotton dress (oldie $12.99)

Michael Khors flats- E-bay find (oldie ~$10)

authentic Twiggy poses (pricelesssss)

I have been loving posting all things British; hence all of my recent posts. 

(is that correct grammar? probably not)

I think I will continue with it here and there 

(yes, the bad use of grammar too).

Have a loverly weekend, loves!

Thrifty Threads: doubled up

the outfit: 

*Goodwill floral collared dress ($2.99)*

Marshalls lace coverlet ($9.99)

Green glass bead necklace, made by me (don't miss the giveaway here)

E-bay steal Steve Madden wedge (~$20)

The dress looked a bit bland by itself so I threw the coverlet on to add some zingity-zing.

The pop of color in the necklace helped to liven it up as well.

(I just checked to see if 'liven' was a real word. It is & has been for a while)

I am loving this new Thrifty Threads feature already! You?

It is already making me work harder to be creative with outfits on a budget.

I like it. I like it a lot.
