A 50% Off Top, Plum Lips, and 7 Items for under $23

After church a couple of Sundays ago, I brought my two oldest into the Value Village that is located across the street. I cannot deny that that MAY have had an influence on WHY I chose my church 7 years ago....haha. ;)

Anyhoo...the place was PACKED! I didn't realize that it was a 50% off day (What is WRONG with me??), and quickly went into 'SURVIVAL MODE', lol. One eye on the boys, one eye on the deals.

I ushered my boys into the Boys Shoe section and quickly perused the shoes. My oldest found a great pair of Air Jordan's, but there was nothing in my middle son's size worth purchasing. BUT since it was 50% OFF Day, we decided to look around a bit more.

I found this cute Kimono-type top. It was priced at $4.99. So guys.... it was $2.50!!

It is light and flowy and the perfect topper to a tank in late summer.

The first time I wore this top, I paired it with my PLUM LipSense colour. Now if I could ONLY figure out where to look when I take a selfie of myself. ;)

I would also likely pair this top with the following colours:

Razzberry

Mauve Ice

Purple Reign

 Or maybe even this FUN combo:

Blu-J & Razzberry

Oh, and the 7 items for under $23?? Here they are:

For my oldest: A T-Shirt (Which for some reason HE LOVES!!), sneakers and sandals- now he can stop stealing MY flip-flops, lol.

For the middle son: An Avengers hat.

For me: A Chambray top, my top featured in this blog, and some super adorable grey booties.

For $23 including tax! Amazing.

A Thrifted Kimono and Coral Lips

A few weeks ago, I snagged this adorable Kimono at a nearby Value Village.

I LOVE those days- days when you just run in to see if anything catches your eye- and then an item like this- which I have worn COUNTLESS TIMES SINCE- jumps out at you....AND it's only $7.99.

I've paired this with many of my LipSense Lip Colours so far. Like Samon:

I've worn it with Summer Sunset:

And these are the other LipSense Colours that I will likely pair with it in the future:

As you can see, there are SO MANY colours, tones, and finishes to play with. And that is just with ONE item of clothing!

Thanks for stopping in, friends!
