Betty's Bargains: Part I - Old Navy
As previously mentioned, I went shopping recently and was able to find several items that I liked. I went to Old Navy with the sole purpose of picking up a pair of pajama pants and a pair of shorts. I left Old Navy with a pair of pajama pants and two tops. I couldn't resist their "Buy Two Items, Get a Third Item FREE!" deal. and it applied to all items in the store! Really. Who could pass that up?
I picked up these pajama pants:
I originally wanted a pair in yellow print (not available online), but noticed a slight problem with them when I tried them on; you could see through them. So the yellow ones went back on the rack and I picked up the black ones instead. In the store, these pants were on sale for a smaller price than the other two items I purchased, so these ended up being FREE! I wasn't too crazy about the pants' "Roll-Up" feature because they were kind of at an awkward length, but they are so comfortable!
My other purchases were actually the same item but in two different colors.
I tried this one on in a pattern that is no longer available online, so I cannot show a picture of it. It is blue with a large flower print in chartreuse and light blue. Really pretty. I loved the way that it fit, obviously enough to pick it up in another color. And the fabric was very soft and light-weight; perfect for summer!
There were several other items that I saw that I liked, but being on a strict budget, I had to walk away from them. Most of the items from the store are no longer available online, or at least nowhere that I can find, but here are a few items that I could find online that I like:
*The print on this bag is actually pretty similar to the print on the ruffle top that I purchased, if it were only in the green and blue colors, that is.
Anyone else take advantage of the "Third Item Free" sale this weekend at Old Navy?

The Return of Betty, with a Cry for Help
I'm back! Possibly. After finally finishing the planning for my sister's baby shower, I have some more time on my hands to pick up some of my old "hobbies" again. We'll see how long this lasts...
I am excited to tell you that I went on a much-needed shopping trip this past week! I am not fortunate enough to live in an area with many shopping opportunities. In fact, our shopping is quite limited; the nearest (decent) mall is about an hour away. But I was out visiting my mom this past week and able to make a quick trip to her nearest mall (about 45 minutes away!). I only visited a select number of stores (Target, Old Navy, and American Eagle, to be exact), because I am still unemployed and therefore still on a tight budget. This was a trip for some necessities.
On my shopping list:
Before I do that, I need everyone's help! I also recently purchased a vintage shirt from Etsy. I made the mistake of falling in love with it through a photograph, and was slightly disappointed when I finally received it (refunds not accepted!). Unfortunately, being a vintage shirt, it also came with a vintage smell. And I can't get rid of it. Two washings later. Any tips?
I also had to have it altered to fit me the way I wanted it to, and luckily I received it just in time to take to my mom who was able to fix it for me, although not completely the way I wanted it to look. That was through no fault on her part, but rather due to the fact that the style of the shirt ended up looking different than how it did in the photo. And speaking of which, here is the shirt:
I had contacted the seller prior to purchasing, and she did say that she was pretty sure that she had pinned the shirt to the model, so I was expecting it to look differently on. However, I wasn't entirely prepared for it to be the length that it was, but that was a mistake on my part for not paying attention to that part of the measurements. But anyway. Long story short, I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out how to style this shirt and would love for some ideas. (It would also be worth noting that the "white" parts of this shirt, in person, are more off-white, or rather "old white", as in a discolored looking white. The fabric is also fairly stiff).
I would love to be able to wear this shirt, seeing as I paid for it and all, but am lacking inspiration. Someone please help a girl out!

On my shopping list:
- Artist jeans from American Eagle (specifically these because I already have pair in a dark wash, love how they fit and wanted a second pair. Not to mention that I currently only own two or three pairs of jeans, one of which is nearly worn through).
- Pajama pants (I split the back of mine one morning when sitting on the couch. Oops!)
- Shorts (I only own ONE pair of shorts-really not a shorts type of girl)
- Bathing suit (would it depress you too much to learn that the last bathing suit I purchased was nearly 5 years ago? Two children and 15 pounds ago? Yeah. It was about time for a new one).
- Shampoo
- Face wash

Fashion Challenge: Beaded Eglantine Cardigan
This post is rather late as this Fashion Challenge happened a few weeks ago, but here are three looks that I came up with for another What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear Fashion Challenge. For this one, we needed to feature the Beaded Eglantine Cardigan from Anthropologie. Although I created and submitted three looks, only two were featured. Here are all three:
My favorite is the first one. Which is yours?
