What I'm wearing:

It's so cold and snowy in upstate NY, and I'm so sick of this weather, but that doesn't mean I can't have a little fun! I hate being stuck inside due to sucky weather, and can't wait for it to warm up.

Honestly, New York isn't the state for me. I dream of living in a more tropical climate, like Florida or California, or both. I love warm/hot weather. And palm trees make me smile, especially the ones that look like giant pineapples!

But until then, I'll enjoy NY for what it is...

P.S. Thanks Gary for taking these photos! 

Frugal Life: Sweater Shopping!

Yesterday, now that Monday is my day off work, I went shopping at the local mall for warm clothing so I don't have to worry about being cold this winter...

Do you know how hard it is right now to find decent sweaters?? I only came home with two!

Here they are, the two I bought... (Pardon the filthy dressing room mirror...I don't think the people at Burlington cleaned it in a while.)

These crosses don't make me look religious, right? ~ t/o sweaters

Gotta love a nice deep V neck. ~ Sweater by Poof.

I also thought this midriff baring sweater was pretty cool, but not exactly meant for super cold weather, nor do I have the proper underpinnings for it.. But I love the 90s look! I can see myself wearing it with olive cargo pants and combat boots. I kind of regret not getting it, but not enough to go back and find it again. 

I have a vision of 90's industrial rock in my head..

I also picked up a couple of $5 scarves (originally $12.99) at Charlotte Russe. This is one of them.

I immediately fell in love with this scarf- it's huge and warm like a blanket. ~ Charlotte Russe

Other items include a Bazinga! tshirt I got for $10 (originally $20), and later, a Red Baron cheese pizza for $3.34 (originally $6.39, thats 47% savings).

I love bargain hunting, and always feel very accomplished when I find a bunch of stuff I like.

Have you gone shopping lately? What did you buy?
