Year End

New Year's day will mark the one year anniversary of my blog!

So much has happened in 2010, it was one of the best years of my life.

So as the year winds down I'd love to share some of my favorite outfits of the year!

One of the first photos I managed to take outside, I think that the boy and I have considerably improved.

One of my first posts after getting the hang of things, still pretty simple.

The weather got nice so early this year so I was able to show off my bare legs in March!

Scoring these platforms was one of best purchases of the year. I wanted them so badly for three years!

Vacation in Ocean City!

This one is an outfit I never posted because at the time I wasn't happy with the photos. One of my favorite outfits of the year though!

My 21st birthday outfit!

This vintage dress was one of my favorite thrift finds of the year!

This year I truly found my own style. Without realizing, I've gone for more simplicity. Just dresses and heels or skirts and tops. I guess I've just always been a believer in simple things and looking good on a budget.

I hope everyone loved reading my blog this year! Happy New Year and happy frugal hunting!

Monochromatic

This week has been so exciting! My pink Christmas tree arrived, so the boy and I decorated it. Plus, Wednesday was my final day of college. I'm officially done for good! Can't forget to mention that I'm so excited for Christmas! I got everyone the perfect gifts this year :-)

Here are some shots I took over the weekend.

I got these great shorts on sale for $5, I love them. They're surprisingly warm.

Charlotte Russe herringbone shorts, Forever 21 tee, and Target scarf and motorcycle boots.

I'm off to do some more wrapping. Have a great Holiday!

Before the Snow

So, the reason for my lack of posting is...there have been terrible blizzards here! It's been so cold and bitter and everything became covered with snow.

Here are some photos I snapped before the storms.

I can't even go on my balcony anymore because there is so much snow!

I wasn't feeling very good that day so excuse my faces.

Hand-me-down blazer, Levi's boyfriend jeans, Forever 21 tee, vintage belt, and Betsey Johnson platforms.

Enjoy the last bit of the weekend!

My Super Unrealistic Christmas List

So I've heard of Polyvore, but today I actually decided to use it for the first time. I was so excited I created the Christmas list of my dreams. Things I'd love to have but at the moment aren't realistic.

Lanvin for H&M shoes (any I'd love!), vintage Chanel dress, Lanvin for H&M red dress, Forever 21 polka dot dress, Lanvin for H&M one-shoulder dress, Christian Louboutin pumps, Chanel Caviar bag, Forever 21 lace dress, and yet another Lanvin for H&M dress.

I'm loving the Lanvin for H&M collection, unfortunately the two H&M's where I live aren't carrying it.

Not like I can afford it anyway!

Well, I'm off to bed. I've been preoccupied with school but I have a outfit post coming soon!

XOXO,

Morgan

Red, Red, Wine

With the dwindling daylight and a photographer who works until 8, I've only been able to take pictures on the weekend. Plus the weekend is my chance to dress up and wear fancy things!

I'm actually wearing a burgundy velvet dress that I bought for $2.50 at Goodwill. It's a little big in the bust so I paired it with this motorcycle jacket.

Some of you (if you still read this) may recall me writing about these beauties on a wishlist post back in May. I finally scored them two weeks ago for 60% off and I can't stop wearing them!

Thrifted dress, Charlotte Russe linen moto jacket, and Aldo wedges.

I've actually another post ready to go, so no more falling behind!

XOXO,

Morgan

It's Been Too Long

I know it has been forever since I posted, time has just slipped through my fingers. But even though the weather is getting colder I promise to update more. I have more inspiration that ever before this semester.

So I'm sorry I've missed the past month and some odd days, but lets get re-aquatinted.

Since I'm totally broke I've been trying to spend no money on new things. I've had a few great treasure hunts at Goodwill, and this amazing sweater was one of my great finds.

It's a sweater from The Limited that someone had donated, although I couldn't figure out why. It's in perfect condition and I'll be living in it all winter.

These leather ankle boots I found on one of the last Salvation Army trips of the summer. I thought they were snazzy, and real leather boots for $1.50? I can't say no.

The Limited/Goodwill sweater, Charlotte Russe leggings, Salvation Army/unknown brand ankle boots, and Luella sunglasses.

Lastly,

I dressed up as a sailor girl this Halloween. I'm obsessed with nautical/sailor paraphernalia so when I spotted this costume hiding in Party City back in August, I almost died because...it was 5 dollars!

I had a great night! I hope everyone did too! I'll be updating again soon.

Au Revoir,

Morgan
