A Visionary Moment: Nursery Shelving Unit

Here's another great consignment find! I passed by this nursery Shelving Unit multiple times because I do not have a need for nursery furniture. Many people were doing the same thing. Well, I finally slowed down long enough to take a second look at it. Well, the price was reduced to $8.00. Well, what is going through your mind as you look at this unit? Are you envisioning this:



Well, as a visionary, the light bulb came on in my head without removing the drawer liners at the store. So for $8, I scooped it right up before anyone else began to see what I could see. Later, just by removing the drawer liners, I erased the nursery theme. Now, I have more storage options! Wondering where I found this treasure? At the Charlotte Style Exchange three day event! (Half off on Saturdays! It was priced at $16.)

Plus Size Fashion: The Stretch Belt

I just struck gold at the Charlotte Style Exchange three day consignment event. I picked up this stretch belt as well as a few others at a "steal." At $1.50 plus tax, I transformed my outfit from average to absolutely fabulously chic!
The belt is from the Limited and was a size Large. It has a heavy duty closure.
It is just a hook, but it holds it all together. I have to admit I questioned my ability to fully breathe, but I really loved the hourglass enhancement for $1.50! Hello!
The stretchy material makes it easy to store as well.
Okay, here is my outfit without the belt. The "before" picture and the "after" are only $1.50 difference. One picture is without the belt, and the above picture is with the belt. No other changes.
That belt probably should have retailed new for about $10 to $30. I was blessed to purchase it at half off of $3.00 on the final day of the consignment sale. I am becoming my own fashion stylist for plus size/curvy ladies!
