Burgundy Swing Dress and Hat

I need to wear more hats. I love hats, especially this burgundy one. They just take your look to the next level. I found this dress in my closet with the tags still on it, so unfortunately I can't give you the exact dress that matches my hat, but Old Navy has a great spring swing dress in black that would look perfect with the burgundy hat. Check out this look.

QVC Floppy Hat $20
Hats aren't just great in the winter, it's a fun look for spring too and this color is classically elegant.

Old Navy Swing Dress $30

This is perfect for spring, 3/4 sleeves, cute key hole in the back, and just the right length for a grown up woman to wear. Nothing irks me more then finding a great dress that's too short to wear appropriately. 

Old Navy Black Leggings $10

Ok so mine are LuLa Roe, but I got some complaints because the black ones are so hard to find. Luckily Old Navy makes them too.

I love this cheap little necklace, it looks like it cost a lot more then it did. It elevates any look.

I often pair an inexpensive piece with a more costly one. This is a great investment piece, it's a truly sophisticated look.

Great Exfoliators

It's no secret that I am a big fan of chemical exfoliators, I use Paula's Choice BHA Liquid everyday, but sometimes your face has grime on it you want to scrub away so here's a list of exfoliators I love. What's not on this list is St. Ives Apricot Scrub which is incredibly popular and I used to use but the reason I don't any more is because it is just to harsh on your face. If you think about the fact that you're scrubbing your face with walnut shell hopefully you'll come to the conclusion that's just not a good idea. The ones I've chosen uses more gentle exfoliators. Here they are, at lots of price points.

Vasanti Brighten Up! ($10) is an exfoliator with enzymes and papaya, well known for it's skin soothing properties in other parts of the world. The micro crystals are very fine and give you a great scrub. I keep this in the shower and use it once a week. I really love the glow it gives my skin after washing with this.

Pure Body Naturals Blueberry Oxygen Facial Scrub ($16) uses Jojoba beads to exfoliate and is full of antioxidants that soothe your skin, this is a very gelatinous formula that feels cool and wonderful on. It really feels richly moisturizing in addition to exfoliating. 

Tarte Frixxtion Stick Exfoliating Cleanser ($22) uses diatomaceous earth to exfoliate. It comes in a sick that's a little waxy but turns sudsy on your face. It's got a cleansing gel in it to so you get a scrub and a clean. Bonus you can use it as a mask too.

Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion Age Defying Exfoliator ($79) is the ultimate exfoliator because in addition to the micro crystals it has lactic acid which is a chemical exfoliator. This one will not just remove dead skin but also improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and more. If you buy it at Sephora online you also get a PoreDerabrasion.

Camo and Hunter Boots

This outfit was inspired by @budgetbabe on instagram. With the melting snow I needed my rain boots since there were puddles everywhere. Pat and I drove out to the Eastern Shore and hit up Burley Oak and RAR Brewing for a super fun date day. We had some truly scrumptious beer! You can follow me on Untapped, the beer app, at pinkhairfloosie. Here are the details of my look.

Red Sweater and Combat Boots

It's cold out there again today. Missing that spring like weather we were getting. I love cable knit sweaters because they're cozy and cute.

Here are the details of my chilly March #ootd.

For $20 this is a great deal on skin tight dark wash jeans, they're very slick and I get a ton of use out of them. Best part is you can buy them in your true size which often with really skinny jeans you have to buy two sizes up and don't feel so great about yourself.
