Cancer Awareness at Church: Pink

This was an outfit I put together for Wear Pink Sunday at my church for Cancer Awareness. Just for fun!

Black, Polka Dots, and the Best Boots Ever

I wore this to school and to a school dance so I had it on for 10 1/2 hours. It was so comfortable from the shoes to the jewelry.

The boots are the best pair I have ever owned to date. I bought these over 15 years ago at Dillards for $100. They have stretch material in the back and are 100% leather. My husband keeps them shined for me. I adore them!

Pearls: Front and Back

I saw these earrings on a fashion blog and fell in love with them. I was able to grab them at Kohls on an Ebates Daily Double and free shipping so I paid around $8. The ones I purchased from Kohls have sold out but this website has a list of places you can purchase these pretty little ladies at a reasonable price:

My New Handbag from Double Digits Consignment Shop

On Saturday, after getting my nails done, I was sitting in Everyday Organic waiting on my order. I used my waiting time to peruse Facebook, when I noticed a picture of a new item at Double Digits, a local consignment shop that I follow. There beckoning to me from a picture on Facebook was a burgundy and black purse. It was beautiful!

I decided as soon as I received my order that I would stop by to check this baby out. It looked more beautiful in person than in the picture. I looked it up online and the price was way more than fair because the purse still had tags. At that moment, I knew Troy would be buying me an early Christmas present (he would find this out when I told him about it). I held it, petted it (an employee did too), hugged it, and promised to love it forever. This baby was mine!

Double Digits Consignment is a wonderful store. As I lose weight, I will need to go there more often. In the future, I will feature a few items that I purchased while I was there. One of the pieces was a Michael Kors skirt. Love me some Michael Kors especially at a good price. I strongly suggest that you pay this store a visit.

One thing I will point out is that there was some really cute clutches that were under $30. They were adorable.

I decided to pair my new handbag with a casual outfit I bought at Rainbow. To be honest, this outfit was out of my comfort zone but I decided to take a chance. It actually turned out really cute. I wore it to church. I paired it with a pair of silver shoes that my sister-in-law purchased for me when I was visiting Florida this past summer. (Thank you, Tammy) This dressed it up a bit. There are many ways this outfit could be worn.
