What I Wore: Tribal Print

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Couple weeks ago while thrifting I came across a tribal print shirt.
Snatched it up for $3.50 at Goodwill and the tag says Wet Seal
{like a Forever 21}



Apparently tribal print is really hot right now.
I know, I was shocked to. Pinterest helped me find a ton of inspiration.
Here is my inspiration for my outfit.

Here is the outfit I tried to recreate.

Tribal shirt: Goodwill $3.50
Shorts: American Eagle - my closet
Shoes: Rugged Wearhouse- $6.99





I love this shirt. It's perfect for a hot summer day!
This is what I wore to a cookout last night and actually made a cake.
I think it turned out good!

July 4th Cake


Love the star sprinkles and the middle was super easy to do!


I hope you have a wonderful day!

My Front Porch

Happy Monday!
It's FINISHED! I have been working on getting my front porch pretty for summer,
well yesterday I finally finished it!

**Go figure my camera charger is missing! So these pictures are taken from my cell phone**
Sorry guys for the bad quality


Take a look


{My Front Porch}

Flowers are Petunias, Impatiens, Double Impatients, & something else LOL I can't remember
I found all the pots from my local Goodwill for $1-2 each.
The yellow pot came with the flower.
Wreath I made from crepe paper and felt.



{Side View}

FYI: That hanging basket was on clearance for $5 at Lowes
SCORE! originally $25
&
USA sign hanging in the window bought at Dollar Tree for $1




{Side View}

Pinwheels: Pink one is from the Dollar Tree
& the red white & blue one is from the dollar isle at Target.




{Watering Can & Planter Stand}

Found the watering can on Saturday at a Yard Sale for $2
That's the $3 plant stand from Goodwill I mentioned on Tuesday.
And that's the $.50 pot I recovered with the $2 fabric from Goodwill.


So what ya think??
I love how my porch looks, I was so happy when the neighbor next door complimented me on how good it looks!
That totally made my day!
:)
