Out of all the vintage cars at Barber, I immediately fell in love with this 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air Impala. It's powder blue and has sparkly interior...I am pretty sure it was my DESTINY to own this car; however, dad begged to differ *wink* — Out of all the vintage cars at Barber, I immediately fell in love with this 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air Impala.

Lucky 13: Kicking Off the Series

October 1, 2013 Abby HathornLeave a comment

Hello, my fabulouses! Today is the first day of October, and it is time to kick off the VIP’s “Lucky 13” series ! With this outfit challenge, I am going to take the 10 items I purchased during my September Grand Haul for The Outlet Shops of Grand River and show y’all 13 different ways to mix and match these items.

I love the flow, feminine feel, and fabulous floral print of this dress from Guess. It is perfect for fall festivals or brunch alfresco. To add a bit of dazzle to this field of flowers dress, I tossed on a white statement necklace from Charming Charlie. This fabulous combo is a good mix of sexy and sweet.

Dress: Guess Outlet, The Outlet Shops of Grand River

Shoes: BCBG, Belk

Necklace: Charming Charlie, The Outlet Shops of Grand River

To see the other items I got on my September Grand Haul and to find out how to stretch your fashion dollar, check out the video below.
