LOOK OF THE DAY: CASUAL ERRAND RUNNING


Today, I was out and about running errands, after working from home, and hitting the mall in preparation for some upcoming weddings, my trip to Albuquerque, which my sister and I call The ABQ, followed by a cross county road trip all starting next week! :)

So, I thought I would post my casual, running errands look with a breakdown of everything and you will recognize my flower from my Cinco de Mayo "FIESTA FASHION FOR FIFTY" post, but it will show how you can add it to different looks to add a special little touch!

The total look from head to toe, minus my more of a splurge purse purchase that you could easily replace with a more affordable bag, is just $ 71.29 and $ 130.79 with it! Plus, I got a compliment on my dress and flower from 2 different people while out and about and that always makes a girl smile! :)

  11. Hahah love that your casual errand running look is way cuter than most of my "going out somewhere nice" outfits. Maybe I should stop being so lazy? No but really, I love dressing up and looking good just to do regular, daily things, it makes a girl feel good! The necklaces are beautiful (as well as everything else), they're my favorite because I know I can afford them, tehehe. I'm in a shopping mood now :) Cute post.
