Diaries of A Bargainista: Marshalls Style

This skirt is another oldie, but goodie.  It's one of the first skirts that I posted on my blog, check out the original post.  For some reason, I have hung on to it all these years, but yet I still am loving it.  

After gaining 50 lbs with a baby I was afraid it would never fit again, but thankfully I held on to it and it still fits!!  Both the top and the skirt is from Marshalls.  If I remember correctly the skirt was only $14.99 and the top was $16.99.  My wedges are also from several years ago that I wear all the time! Let's just consider these "Free" since they are so old, LOL!

What do you think about this look?

Diaries of a Bargainista - I'm BAACCKKK

Seriously, I'm not even going to pretend for one second that I'm a fashion blogger, but it is fun to post outfit pictures every now and then.  Days when my hair AND makeup are done are few and far between, so I thought I should take advantage and do an outfit post, crazy I know...

Top Marshalls / Crops TJ Maxx / Wedges DSW / Necklace Sam Moon / Clutch TJ Maxx

I've always been a pretty plain girl and jeans with a t-shirt is my kind of standard style.  When I found this top with a flowy sheer back I absolutely loved it.  The fact that it was also only $14.99 helped too! It's still a t-shirt, but the sheer back gives it a little extra OOMPH.  I mean considering I'm a Stay at Home Mom now, this is just about as fancy as I get.

Let's be real honest tho, I didn't actually wear this outfit out of the house... I just put it on to take pictures, LOL! I would actually wear it out of the house though, probably with flats instead of heels. I mean do you ever see a mom pushing a stroller in heels? That's what I thought...

Linking up with a few ladies this week {If I even remember how....}

Pink On Pink

Top: Old Navy // Crops: Marshalls (last year) // Wedges: Boutique (last year) // Clutch: Target // Watch: Fossil (Gifted) // Bracelet: Sam Moon // Necklace: Francesca's // Scarf: Garments of Praise

I ordered this wonderful scarf from a good friend of mine, she just started her own Etsy shop and everything is completely handmade.  She is so wonderful to work and I got my scarf within days of ordering it! Check out her shop and show her some love! Not only is everything she made great quality, but also at a great price!

Luckily for you ladies, Rachel is offering 10% Off to my readers, just type in "All Things Alisa" in the promo box!

I've got my eye on this Polka Dot Scarf she just posted and the ADORABLE Chevron Trash Bag for your car!

Diaries of A Bargainista: No Wind Machine Required

Dress: JCrew Outlet $35 // Scarf: TJ Maxx $10 // Boots: Marshalls $49.99 // Watch: Fossil Gifted // Bracelet: TJ Maxx Gifted // Sunnies: Steve Madden Ross $10

The wind was going crazy for my photo sesh which was in my favor in picture #1, but not so much in Picture #3.  If I knew how to Photoshop I would erase away that little strand of crazy hair, but oh well.  I'm a real blogger, not a real model so don't hate..

Let's just talk real quick about my new fave show Gypsy Sisters! I was obsessed with it when it was My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding and this one is even better.  Even if you don't follow the show, you just need to see one thing...

Unfortunately I just realized her dress matches my Diaries of A Bargainista Button!!! HAHA!

Via

Yes, this is her wedding dress, yes she is pregnant and YES she is already divorced. If you don't watch this show, you should!

Seriously loving your blog.

You look fantastic

I want your boobs {okay not really, but maybe}

Seriously, do you ever see something when you're blogging and you're like "Eww, gross that coat is FUGLY".  Do you tell the blogger her outfit is terrible and be a a little byotch of just write something real Generic like "OMG Lurve, where did you get it?" then behind her back totally be like "That's the fugliest thing I've ever seen in my life" Mean Girls quote if you didn't recognize it...

Have you ever once tried to post the ugliest outfit or weirdest thing on your blog just to see the fake comments you will get?  Okay, I haven't done this yet, but I'm seriously considering it.

Kinda like Prank the Blogosphere?  Seriously, who's in on this?  Do you want to prank the blogosphere with me?

Oh and if I get comments today that my outfit is FUGLY, I will delete them, so keep being FAKE Bloggie Kitties!  Cuz I lurve it!

Diaries of A Bargainista Link-Up

First off, I got my first blog sponsor last week and I am so excited to be working with her, we have an insane amount of things in common!  Check out Venus over at Venus Trapped in Mars and show her some blog love!! Check out my sponsor tab to get in on the action too!!

Scarf: Old Navy {Old} $8 // Top: Francesca's Clearance last spring $15 // Pants: Marshalls $15 // Shoes: Target $14.98 // Bracelet: Gifted

I was trying way too hard to look cute this week! Sorry about my stupid smiles and ass trash hair!!! I seriously need to gets my hair did!!!

Moving on.... I want to talk to you guys about something really awkward that happens quite frequently and I'm wondering if you guys experience this same awkwardness...

We have an extra long hallway, one side is the executives and one side is my department.

What in the heck do you do when someone is all the way at the other end and you are both walking towards each other? 

Do you...
Look down at your feet or look them straight in the eye? 
Say hi/hey/ hey there/hello??
Both say hi how are you at the exact same time and you both keep walking?
Cut across the hallway and pretend like you're going somewhere else?

Normally I either look down at my feet and pretend like the other person doesn't exist or I cut across the hallway to the bathroom.  It's just such a strange experience that I want to avoid at all costs!!! 

Any other recommendations on how I can avoid this situation??

Now It's Time for you to Link-Up!!!

Diaries of A Bargainista Linkup: New Scarf = Zero Dollars

Are you wanting a new scarf because you are sick of all yours, but not really wanting to spend the money since spring will be here before we know it? Luckily you're here reading this little blog because I have the perfect solution for you! Surprisingly enough I didn't even go to Pinterest for this idea I came up with it all by my little self!

Not only do I think this scarf idea is genius, but my dress was only 6 buck from Old Navy.  It's so versatile and you can wear it a million ways which is why I love it.  A black dress is an absolute staple in any girl's closet!

Tie 2 ends of scarves together - Make sure when you are doing this you have a kitty very close for assistance

Another view in case you didn't understand the first one - jk!

Loop around neck until you get the desired  look 

Dress: Old Navy $6 // Black and white Scarf: Target $15 // Yellow Scarf: F21 {Old} // Tights: Marshalls 3 pack for $10 // Shoes: Target $14.99 // Bracelet and earrings: Francescas $10 and $7

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy, right??  If you like this idea I would absolutely love it if you pinned it!

Diaries of A Bargainista Link-Up

The link-up is back after being on a one week hiatus.  I hope everyone enjoyed the holidays and are ready to get back into the daily grind..  This is my first day back at work after 8 solid days of sleeping until noon and watching movies all day.  I think I'm in a minor state of depression, but I'll bounce-back.. Reality can be one tough pill to swallow!

Today I'm featuring my bargainista-self! This dress came from Old Navy for $7.99!  I swear these pictures aren't old even though there are orange leaves in the background, this was actually Christmas Eve!

Scarf: Marshalls $10.99 // Dress: Old Navy $7.99 // Boots: Marshalls $49.99
