Ever since I became a mom, I've been a "stay at home mom". Which, as we all know, doesn't provide a paycheck. Transitioning to being a full time mom from a full time employee wasn't easy, in that, I've always had my own money. I've worked since I was sixteen. (My first official job was as a Lifeguard at Raging Waters) One of my favorite jobs, I must say. Making my own money, spending it how and when I wanted, has always been liberating to me. Now, that I rely solely on my husband, I tend to be much more careful with how and what I spend. He has never really told me "no" when I've mentioned buying something...I guess 'cause he knows I'm not frivolous with "our" money. I'm a self proclaimed "I can find it cheaper" shopper. Since I like to shop SO MUCH, it only makes sense for me to make sure I get "said item" for the best price possible. I hardly EVER go to the mall and shop in the store. Partly because it's near impossible to keep my thoughts straight when I'm chasing around little ones, making sure they don't destroy the store...but If I DO go the mall, I usually shop...then buy online when I get home. I will cyber HUNT for what ever it is I'm looking for...until I find it for cheaper. Poshmark.com has been a good resource for bargain hunting. I've sold and traded on poshmark successfully...and it allows me to withdraw my earnings, or use them for poshmark purchases. If you haven't checked it out yet..you should.
Anyway....I have really been into this whole bohemian look lately. I think the word "bohemian or boho" is just the new way of saying "hippy". Whatever. I like it. These bells are the best thing EVER. I hunted them down ...and finally found them on POSHMARK. Luckily, I had been saving my earnings, and had enough to purchase without coming out of pocket. When they arrived, I was smitten. They are the closest thing to the coveted Nightcap Clothing Bells (that I'll never be able to afford..and I'd probably never spend that much on a single pair of pants anyway.) The tank is from Nastygal. (Another fav shopping spot) You can find really good stuff, if you're savvy and willing to look.
