top: BRFS, blazer: Groopdealz, jeans: Burlington, bag & heels: Ross, jewels: Stella & Dot
 
I'm been searching for nude pointed pumps for a while. I knew I'd eventually find them somewhere for a decent price. These beauties I purchased at Ross for $24.99, BCBG brand. I shared on IG (@methodclothe) a couple of days ago. This blazer I bought as a look for less that I posted about here. If you haven't heard of Groopdealz go check it out. AND can I saw how amazing this crossbody/clutch is...only $14.99 at Ross. LOVE IT!

First off I have to say I saw Christine in Color wearing the Biance Tassel Necklace on IG this morning and I had to copy and wear mine too!  
 
I recently bought some products from Clinique. I'm not much of a beauty product shopper. I'd rather spend my money on clothes. However I really hate wearing lipstick. Usually I wear just a tinted gloss or good ole chapstick. I was starting to feel like I could use some color on my lips. I asked my sister about Clinique. She worked at a Clinique counter at Macy's for a little while. She suggested the Chubby Stick. I picked two colors. Curvy Candy and Mighty Mimosa. These are pretty soft pinks. I really like is product. Not too much color but definitely moisturizing. I plan to buy more like Whole Lotta Honey and probably one of the reds.
The next thing I was in need of was mascara. I've used Cover Girl and Maybelline in the past. I usually end up buying the mascara that lumps my lashes. I hate that! So I bought the High Lengths Mascara in black. I've used it a handful of times now and it's exactly what I wanted. The lashes don't clump rather it colors all the lashes and makes them look longer. The brush was a little awkward to use at first but overall I've very happy with this mascara.

top & cardi: BRFS, jeans: thrifted, shoes: converse slip on, bag: Coach Factory, jewels: Stella & Dot
 
This is the only picture that looked ok today. Maybe it was the fact that I didn't really finish blow drying my hair or maybe because I normally don't pose with a bag. Or could it be that I just look awkward in colored denim. Let's face it I'm not in my early twenties anymore haha. Colored denim is definitely something I've been afraid of.
 I've seen some gals on IG always posting about their amazing finds at thrift stores and then a light bulb finally went off in my head! I could shop for trends and spend a fraction of the price. So I did! Last saturday I went to two thift stores. Normally I walk in and walk out having bought nothing but I was determined to find SOMETHING. And I did! I bought these jeans. They are Pink Celebrity brand which I've seen at Marshalls but I only paid $5.99. They have a cute zipper detail at the ankle that I totally love. (If I was a DIY'er I'd put zippers on all my jeans.)
So for $5.99 these were worth it.
 
ALSO I paid attention to my clothing budget this month. I'm happy to report that I spent a total of
$195 on clothing and shoes this month.

sweater: F21, top & jeans: BRFS, flats: J.Crew Factory, jewels: Stella & Dot
 
I don't shop at F21, like ever. The closest store to me is about 45min away. A couple of weeks ago I shopped online. I bought 3 sweaters and 3 tops. The sweaters were all perfect but none of the tops worked. I went to the store to return them and at the counter the girl says would you like a store credit or did you want to exchange them for something. CRAP! No cash or credit card refund? UGH.
F21 needs to change their return policy. Are there any other clothing stores that don't refund your money? Cause I definitely need to know!

skirt: BRFS, top: J.Crew Factory, heels: BCBG via Ross, jewels: Stella & Dot
 
I found this gorgeous skirt in the clearance section at Banana Republic Factory Store. Isn't it just perfect!
 
The other night as I was driving home from work I started to think about blog names. I've never shared how I choose mine. I really had no idea how to pick a name. I wasn't really reading a lot of style/fashion blogs at the time. Now everyone shares tips on how to market your blog, pick a name etc. I made a list of everything that I loved. I put some words together and I wasn't too excited about any of my word combos. Then I thought well maybe I could put some other meaning behind my name not just two of my favorite things. That's when I came up with
 Method Clothe: a way of dressing.

I've been M.I.A. from this blog. I mentioned in the previous post that I had the worst sinus infection. I am finally feeling back to normal. I worked three 12 hour shifts at the hospital this week, 3 days in a row. I never ever do that. I only work two shifts a week and they aren't back to back. I'm kind of exhausted today but I must pick a winner so here I am. AND tonight I'm making my honey take me shopping and out to dinner so I had to dress up a little for that too.
 
I'm wearing the Kimbery Necklace from Stella & Dot. It's got to be one of my favorite necklaces. It's super versitile! I can wear it with a solid and it even looks amazing with a print. It's perfect!
 
And now for the winner of the Stella & Dot Gilded Arrow Bangle...
