OOTD-Day in the Hamptons!

OOTD-Bright Butterflies!

I can't tell you how many times I looked at this shirt at Old Navy - like a zillion. I loved it! I have the tie-waist dress in this print, and love it, but I reeeeeealy wanted the top - so comfy and easy and cute for everyday life. Every time I went to ON, my favorite manager would do a price check for me, just in case it was marked wrong! I just couldn't pay $30 for a printed top. Then it went on sale - gasp - for a whopping $25! What kind of markdown is that? Anywho..........long story short, when Super Cash stared Monday, the shirt was still there - only one, in my size - kismet! Brought it home for $14! We are going to the zoo today, so I find this shirt appropriate!

Top: Old Navy Smocked Dolman Sleeve Shirt - Retail $29.94- paid $14.xx

OOTD-Butterflies and Polka Dots!

I was in the City this week working at my company's annual investor meeting. I even got to stay at The Four Seasons - luxury!

While in the city I picked up a few things - this polka dot top at H&M and this sold out butterfly scarf at Old Navy (got this one off the display!) I love this Old Navy print - already have the dress seen HERE and it's also offered in a shirt!

OOTD-Compliments of My Closet Travels

I was happy to win Molly's Jcrew giveaway and I got this Tuxedo Henley with my winnings! I had looked at it for a long time and really loved it. Molly has great taste in Jcrew and Anthro. We have become great friends because of meeting in the blog world. She is my WV connection since that is my home state! We are fellow "Mountain Mamas"! She and I have talked a lot about clothing, budgets and keeping the balance of it all.

Thank you Molly for the gift card and thank you for being a great friend!

OOTD- Waiting Room Outfit

Well, did not plan to spend the day going from doc to doc, but my oldest took a super hard line drive in the palm of his glove last night and it needed attention. Yep, it's broken. Bummer. Out of the line up and soccer for several weeks. No piano either. He's not in super bad pain, but it's just a bummer that this happened. Two years ago he broke his other hand playing baseball when he got hit by the pitcher while batting.

I got this simple white shirt at the Gap for $5 - retail $54.50. I love that it's simple, but has some pattern. Even the sleeves are a different pattern from the rest of the shirt.

Shirt: Gap Jeans: Access Shoes:H&M Hasbeens

Here is my new spring handbag tote! I was sooo happy to find these at Marshalls one day - it's a Baekgaard, the leather handbag sister company of Vera Bradley, owned by founder Barbara Bradley Baekgaard's husband. I had admired them in the handbag boutique here, but at $67, couldn't bite- this one was $12! In real life it's a Tiffany Blue with yellow trim - so happy and cheerful! Best of all it fits all my stuff well and has a slide pocket for my cell phone, which is a must for me in a purse.

The Story of my H&M Hasbeen Shoes - All the Way from New York City!

This is THE best story ever about a fashion purchase!

This is the story of the most beautiful red sandals ever made, Swedish Hasbeen Clogs for H&M, and how they made their way to Peggy's happy feet!

I was reading all the blog buzz about the H&M Hasbeens that were due to release April 20th to stores. I researched them, I entered contests to win them, I went to bed dreaming about them. I was ready and waiting on the evening of April 19th, to wake up and bring them home. On April 20th, I called my local H&M and they said they didn't carry them. Only one store in the city was actually carrying the shoes. I called the city and asked to have a pair put on hold - they said no can do! They were not holding the Hasbeens and they were selling out fast on the 1st day of release!! What? Panic! I cant' make it to the city today, and my beautiful red shoes will surely sell out before I can get a pair!

So, I texted my young friend who I thought may be going into the city to ask her if she could scoop me a pair. She said "I can't make it to the city today, but I will pick you some up in New York tomorrow!" What???? You see, she works for the airlines and was planning a one day trip to NYC! She called the Manhattan store and said "I'm flying in tomorrow from San Francisco, can you put a pair of Hasbeens on hold for me?" The clerk said "Well, if you are flying all the way from SF, I will put a pair on hold for you!" SCORE!

She flew there in the morning, got my shoes and returned home in the wee hours of the morning the next day. Her mother delivered them to my door! I promptly put them on my feet and started strutting around the house in them. I took photos and texted them to my sister who shares my love of all things red- especially shoes- to get her reaction on my fancy new Manhattan-purchased shoes!

I'm big-time now baby. My husband said "You think you are hot stuff prancing around in those shoes, don't you?" Oh yeah, you better believe it! I may just wear these shoes every single day of the entire spring and summer!

So, a huge shout out to Naomi for searching out my shoes, and going to such lengths to bring them home to me! You are the BEST! I think I shall have to get you a special treat for helping me out.

Whoot-whoot! Me and my perfect red Hasbeens are going to be soooo happy together! Look for them in my upcoming OOTD posts!
