Back in July I filmed a television segment for the show Extreme Cheapskates. First of all, I never thought I would be doing that (read: I am super shy, so talking to a camera used to be out of the question.) Second, it was quite the experience seeing how "reality" shows are created.  Lydia was asked to be on the show so they could showcase the thriftiness that makes her so awesome. Then they asked if she had a friend that would consent to tagging along on a shopping trip with her to be "taught her ways."  She finds amazing pieces for great prices so she doesn't break the bank to make an outfit.

The episode aired almost exactly a month ago, and let me tell you, it has been rather interesting seeing the reaction. A few of my family members just happened to have the show on and saw me, so they called my Mom to tell her how excited they were.  And I told a select few family and friends since I wasn't sure how dumb I was going to look.

See all the pictures from our photoshoot over at Lydia's blog!

(yes, I'm wearing my own shoes and jewelry in most of the looks as well as my own jeans. AND I kept the kimono top/silk top we found at Good Will because it was a fun look!)

I had a busy weekend so I didn't have as much time to take outfit photos as usual, so I thought it would be a good day to share some extras from outfit pictures with Lydia since I haven't in a while.  Enjoy!

In contrast to yesterday's post, where I didn't want to wear all black, here's a black outfit! As you can see, my mood changes on the day. This is an outfit I find myself wearing over and over again because it's so easy. Some people don't like repeating outfits, I say why not?! If you like it, wear it again. Most people won't notice, and if they do, who cares?

I just love how the sweater barely comes above the hem of my skirt, the play in proportion makes me feel a lot taller than my 5'2" height. The sweater isn't supposed to be this long, but I bought a size large because it was all they had and I liked it. As long as I don't button it, you'd never know that it's the wrong size. I believe it was only $20 and I've had it for at least 4 years.

And how cute are these bow earrings from Lauren Conrad's collection at Kohl's?

Some days you just feel like wearing all one color (but not black.) I almost wore a burgundy tee with this outfit and changed my mind. It may be a bit much for some people, but since burgundy is one of my favorite colors I'm totally okay with it. I've been neglecting these leopard jeans as of late and I don't know why, because they're one of my favorite pairs. The print is nice and subtle so it's not overpowering.

Sweater: Ralph Lauren, Tee: Everlane, Jeans: Current/Elliott (RueLaLa), Flats: Chanel (eBay), Bag: Etienne Aigner (thrifted), Ring c/o Kendra Scott, Necklaces: Indulgems & Bubu Ruby

Of all the designer collaborations Target has done, the Phillip Lim collection has been my favorite. I have 3 pieces from the line; two basic sweaters (one from the men's department) and the BOOM sweatshirt. I wear the sweatshirt quite a bit, but it has only been seen on the blog a handful of times, and never in it's own outfit post. I decide to rectify that right today! I even went so far as to wear a red lip for the occasion to match the print! And red shoes of course, who doesn't need a little Wizard of Oz in their life?
