Under 5

I've been trying to figure out a way to get everyone something this holiday season that wasn't a mug and some hot chocolate mix from the dollar store. It wasn't easy but I did it. I was able to get about 12 people on my list covered for about 5 dollars each. These are the sweet people that help me through the year but are not close friends or relatives. Here is what I came up with!!

1st readers question:

Hi Meg Love,

Thanks for the great blog, I love it. I was wondering how can I leopard print (my favorite) in my work life. I have to keep everything pretty neutral at work. Any ideas?

Okay Gia, well I don't think a work place should ever dampen your favorite style, you just have to do it in a way that is easy to remove if it causes a problem and isn't a "HI, I"M LEOPARD PRINT". Try a cute headband in leopard print, it is subtle yet give a pop of flavor. You could also use a leopard print wallet or a great ballet flat. Keep it in the accessories for work and no one should have a problem. Here are a couple of great finds for you!!

Wednesday's

I don't know if a lot of people know this but I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Stores usually have a new shipment of goods on Tuesdays or Thursdays, so they need to get a lot of clothing sold to make room. Wednesday is the day that most retail store start a sale, or pulling regular priced clothing and mark it down 30-60% off. I'm always first in line on Wednesdays and I head straight for the clothing racks. Last Wednesday I scored really big because not only did Dillard's have the "Wednesday" markdowns it was also there annual 40% already marked down goods. So I was able to get three tops, one pair of trousers, one pair of shoes and a ring for $33.00. I went over on my budget but I couldn't pass any of it up. My boyfriend also got me a Betsey Johnson bag that was originally $300 for $60.00! He doesn't know that I know ;-) (shh!). So my tip of this week is to go to the stores on Wednesday, That is also the slowest traffic days, so good luck and let me know how it turns out!

5 Dollar shoes, its true!

I love shoes! They tell can tell a story, make an outfit and I don't know about you but I stand up with confidence because I know I have killer legs zoning in on that hot guy in the corner. So because I love you guys I'm going to let you in on the best unknown secret online. 5 dollar shoe warehouse. Yes, it is true five dollars for a pair of shoes. Not only are they the best deal for any Lincoln bill sitting in your wallet, they are trendy, stylish and come in almost every size.

So now for my $29.82 I can get 4 pairs of shoes. Pick up your jaw from the floor, because I know I had to when I found out this deal and get some cute shoes. Here is a couple of my favorites. The gray ballet flats remind me of the Chanel sheepskin style and we all know a classic black pump with a twist is always a do. They have been offering $5 shoes since 1987. A bonus, they are available online too. Life just got sweet again.

Here are a couple of my favorites!
