My outfit wishlist

Shopping for oneself is one of the least things a frugal mom can do for herself. If she had a chance to shop, it would not be for herself still, but for her loved ones especially her kids. I should know because I consider myself a frugal mom in some ways. There are instances when I’m supposed to buy an item for myself, but end up buying something for the kids instead.

There is an online contest going on where participants are required to choose their outfit and state why they love to have those outfits in a blog post. This is something that I have been waiting for a long time – to wear a new outfit without making a hole in my pocket. But I still have to win the contest in order to enjoy the wardrobe in my wish list.

I wish there are similar contests wherein participants will have to choose tools like heatshrink for the man of the house. I’m sure hubby will be delighted to participate the contest, too.

On dressing up and accessorizing

Tweet It’s a personal decision not to wear a dress, but lately I’m thinking about trying to wear one. I saw this lady donning an amazingly fashionable short dress at the mall. She’s a little on the heavy side and probably about the same age as mine, but she can carry herself in that dress….

Coffin inspired

Tweet Who would have thought coffin cases refer to a guitar case?
