+cheetah booties

So, i bought these a couple of months ago, went crazy for booties because i found them for such a cheap price. Problem even for a fashionista like me, i felt over dressed at times when i wore them. So, today i dug through the basics i wear on a weekly basis and decided to put together some outfits that would work with these shoes. Of course this is just some of the looks you can do. I've seen girls in these that just look too "sexy mama" for me. The looks below add a little edge/fashion to make these gorgeous booties, more of a classification of fashion.

+cardigan find

During a recent visit to the dollar sale at jet rag, i came across a cute little cardgian. it's really hard to find good fitting vintage cardigans due to wear and tear. this one had a couple of holes in the collar but heck, my hair is long so it's no prob to me. they never run out of style and their style doesn't change much through every decade!! This weekend to run errands, this is how i wore mines.

If you're not really a thrifty shopper but want to find a nice vintage piece,Pick up some cute pieces at Ebay:

+windchasing

run, run, as fast as you can.. and in doing so, who says you cant chase the wind fashionably? I've been in search of more affordable printed trousers, some i want to share with you all. They're a huge trend this year, mostly found in geometric, animal, and indie navajo prints. Most are priced above $100 or more. And if you're like me, they are worn less than a handful of times. i try to avoid wearing the same prints too often. it's not that i don't love them, it's that i love them too much so i dont want to grow tired of them!

these leopard windchasers were bought at my work place. I will be selling them on my website www.moddame.com by the end of this month!

$60 one size - fit xs to small - Sits at ankles.

Alexander McQueen $1,565 -well, by the time i can afford this, it wouldn't be in style anymore!

SOme Lace up wedges $30 @ forever21. Just bought these Love them!They work a lot with the trend right now and in one of my favorite yearly colors.

Here are some outfits that are some what affordable- only buy what you can afford, sub the rest with what you've already got in your closet!

f21 loose tank $7.90 - miss selfridge $57 printed pant - F21 elephant bracelet $6.80 - F21 brown wedges $29.80

F21 sleeveless blouse $16.90 - f21 brown heels $26.80 - topshop printed pant $60 - F21 elephant bracelet $6.80 - louis vuitton (fake?) croc wedged heels $226 online

asos $46 polka dot pants - do a f21 white stripe blouse at $18.90 or the red @ $19.90

asos striped pants $120 - sub the top for F21 $7.90 tank or $24.80 white boy shirt

asos reptile printed pant $176 and sub the top for f21 tops both @ $18.90

Well, for me im just doing thrift shops to find old high waisted pants with wide legs then cropping them and slimming the ankles to skinnies. If you can afford it, just buy the pants already made!
