Alive Girl dress (slider 2)

Hello my lovelies, it’s been a long time between shopping sprees, killer heels and outlandish outfits.

I’ve been through one hell of a storm, fighting for the survival of my marriage and family, and haven’t had the energy, confidence or desire to write or blog.

But I’m coming out the other side - family intact and marriage restored to better than ever. You can’t keep a good fashionista down, so lets dive right into this fresh new season.

I’ve discovered how to dress for $1 a day and look uber cool … yes, seriously! Over the coming weeks I’ll show you my tricks.

Got the ball rolling with this $25 AliveGirl floral dress - loving the skater style skirt. I found it in an overstocked Asian boutique.

Scored this Mimosa denim jacket at a Salvation Army op shop for less than $10. Fell for the high-rise hem at the back and the stretchy black inserts along the arms.

If you don’t know what to wear today or you’re stuck in a rut, give florals a red hot go. As the temperature plummets I’ll swap the dress for a pair of floral jeans I found in Jay Jays for $2.50! And now you’re Looking Good Girls.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland,” Isaiah 43:18-19.
