Thrifty Thursday

Today's Thrifty Thursday pic is a simple floral lace navy blue Forever 21 dress I got from a nearby thrift store.  I jazzed it up with a red necklace from Arden B and a belt with a gold medallion that's also from a thrift store!  All together my outfit cost less ten $20!

Happy Halloween

Last night I co-hosted a professional networking event at a local restaurant called Diva Dawg.  We had a great turnout and saw some amazing costumes! I was even able to snag a shot with rapper French Montana! :) 

And who can forget last year at the Mortuary Haunted House?! If you don't remember well here's a little reminder. Happy Halloweenie!!! :) 

Thrifty Thursday

Today's Thrifty Thursday outfit is one my favorite pieces.  I got this Jones New York dress a while back for less than $10.  It's hard to wear this dress often because the print stands out, but when I do boy do I rock it! Not only do I love the print but the fact that it's a wrap dress is a double plus!

Professional Development Day

Yesterday I had the pleasure of talking to staff at Delgado Community College for their Professional Development Day!  It was truly a blessing not only because I met some wonderful women, but I also got to talk about something I'm truly passionate about... THRIFTING!!!!  Some tips and techniques I shared with the ladies is make sure you go with an open mind and without a plan.  A thrift store is not like the mall where you know what you want, and you know where to find it... You really need to pack your patience and you never know what you'll find!  Another note is make sure you leave the bourgeois behavior at the door!  Of course it's going to smell a little funny, it's going to be a little dusty and you may get followed by a few strange people :) but in the end it's definitely worth it! 

 The ladies were so nice at Delgado CC!  I want to plan a day of thrifting with all of them!

Birthday Weekend

This weekend I celebrated my 27th birthday with my twin Amanda!  Even though I got called to work Saturday morning for storm coverage,  I didn't let it damper my day! :)  The Twin-ster and I threw a birthday bash/pool party at the house and I even got a chance to pig out at Gretna Fest!

 Who's who?  Happy Birthday Amanda!

The girls.

Gangsta!

Pool party in October... I think so!

All aboard!!! The Gretna ferry boat is ready to geaux!

Such a beautiful ride, passing under the Crescent City Connection.

Hi Gretna!

Thrifting for the First Time!

Working on television can be a bit pricey, especially if you like nice clothes!  Well here's my secret to looking bomb on a budget... THRIFT STORES!!! I recently took one of our morning anchors Sula Kim thrifting for the first time to a local Goodwill and check out the goodies she found!
