#TrendyTuesday: Different in denim
Precaution: this post serves as an internet hug and may be a little sappy. It’s funny how life works. The other day I was standing in line at Starbucks and caught myself staring at the girl in front of me. Not to be awkward, but I couldn’t take my eyes of her! Haha! I LOVED her style but stood there thinking, “She’s so cool; there is no way I could pull that look off.” Her look was based off an oversized denim jumper. I wanted to be that cool. Getting in my car, I told myself
#TrendyTuesday: Forecast calls for rain and pink accessories
#TrendyTuesday: This Kentucky weather is wearing me out! I had a springy and bright Tuesday planned, but had to do a quick wardrobe change because of this rainy and humid weather. Luckily, I just picked up this North Face tee at the Mount Washington location. It still has the Dick Sporting Goods tags attached, retailing for nearly $40. I snagged it for $8.99! These New York and Company jeans (that are so comfy they feel like leggings!) are my jam. The little leather trim down
#TrendyTuesday: Pastels and polka dots endorsed by TODAY
I love when the TODAY Show blesses my morning with inspo from style expert, Melissa Garcia! We all love pastels and polka-dots, which are HOT this spring.

Polka-dots just may be my favorite print! This $3.99 Talbots button-up is a cotton and linen m
Fuzzy Wuzzy was...actually Sherpa material
I’m sure I’d be preaching to the choir if I told you that Sherpa is everything and more it’s hyped up to be. But really, this Sherpa trend is the most comfortable one we could’ve asked for! Because everyone is wanting Sherpa everything, I’m here to let The Good Life in on a thrifty secret. I purchased this Sherpa SO printed vest at the Broadway location (Louisville) for just $6.29 I had been looking at a similar item at a retailer earlier in the winter season, but couldn’t br
#ThriftyThursday: Classy is the original black
#ThriftyThursday: Black and white is my favorite match-up. There is just something about the effortless, sleek look the contrast brings to any style! I paired this business-inspired outfit together because of its timeless flare. When I spotted this Elle blouse at the Georgetown location, I knew it was a winner for just $3.99. It’s forward-point collar and shirt-tail hem are truly unique. The shadowed dots and royal blue accents on the collar, cuffs, and hem give it so much pe
#ThriftyThursday: Gold sequins are a girl's best friend
#ThriftyThursday: Holiday season is the best season for everything metallic! This look would be perfect for family holiday cards and other fall and winter festivities. With this look, it’s ALL about the shoes. I came across this pair of Shully’s metallic pointed-toe flats at the Hartland location (Lexington) for just $3.99! They were brand new, never worn. The foil texture and gold plate on top are the ideal holiday event flat. After I fell in love with the shoes, I picked up
#ThriftyThursday: Baking season with the best Goodwill find
#ThriftyThursday: Pumpkin bread is the BEST during the holidays. With a kitchen remodel, I snagged these lifted ceramic containers that hold staple ingredients just in time for baking season! For my kitchen, I wanted to condense a variety of flour and sugar bags into the set of coordinating jars. My #ThriftyThursday features Godinger & Co., a kitchenware brand sold at respected department stores. I purchased the smaller container for just $5.99 and the larger for $6.99 from t

#ThriftyThursday: Steve Madden, the champ of all outfit inspo
#ThriftyThursday: Some trends come and go. And some just stay put! This #ThriftyThursday is all about styling unique and basic pieces together for a variety of fall looks in the same outfit. I constantly look for dresses that are atypical. When I ran across this Aryn K. two-toned Anthropolgie dress, I fell in love!

#ThriftyThursday: Opening up to Kentucky's "fall" weather
#ThriftyThursday: Kentucky fall weather is certainly unpredictable! With the temperature spike back into the 70s and 80s, open front cardigans and simple skirts have been keeping my style practical for both the chilly mornings and muggy afternoons. Before I rave about my love for knits, this outfit is a perfect example of a fall transition. I purchased this Willi Smith sleeveless top at the Paducah location for just $3.99. It’s the sweetest pale pink, mixed with olive and bei
