The Look for Less: Outfit #3

This Look for Less, I wasn't looking for any particular brand or outfit I just kind of luckily happened upon each piece at different times. The jeans I got a little while ago at Forever21, I wanted a comfortable pair of skinnies and snagged these for $9! I found the darling red flats on clearance at Target for a whole $3.48. Target clearance is awseom! I always love having a flowy top (ya know for those puffy days :]) and got this one for $4 at Goodwill! The shirt size said 4, so I figured it had to be from a more pricey kind of place.. I'm just used to the small, medium, large kind of places :) Turns out this particular brand (Odille?) is sold at Anthropologie, prices for these tops start at $70! I put all the pieces together and was pretty pleased how the outfit turned out :) I spent a whole $16.48 from top to bottom
(P.s. I realize I do the hands in the pocket thing in every pic, but let me tell you taking a picture alone is awkward, and therefor I do the hands in the pockets, makes me feel better :]
)


Stay tuned for the next Look for Less

Dressing up the address

Well we have been lucky enough to give our front yard a much needed make over! It's been 3 years coming, so when I say much needed it's an understatement :) Everything was finally done, but one thing was missing... Our address needed some cuteness, the plain ol' numbers just weren't doing the trick. I looked around at address plaques and found some super cute ones but everything was in the $60-$100 range! For an address plaque?? Crazy I know... So I thought I'd give making one a shot! I went to my favorite place when I'm doing a crafty project, Hobby Lobby of course :) 

I searched and searched, found cute things but nothing I loved until I spotted this little iron number. It was perfect! I picked up some craft wood and was on my way to craftify my address :)
 The iron piece was brown, and I needed it black... So I sprayed it with black spray paint I already had at home : ) I painted the craft wood white... Glued it on to the iron piece with some awesome stuff called GOO, nailed the numbers that we had, and.... ta-da!
 I'm pretty darn happy with how it turned out! It sits so cutely up there for all to see! So proud of my cute address plaque! Wanna know the best part?? It only cost me $12 to make!!
I don't know about you, but crafting sure makes me happy :)
Lots of love,
Brianna
