End of season find (Long Post)

Hey out there! When I came home this past weekend for spring break,my mom surprised me with a few things. A pair of boots (not like those pictured above) was one of the things, but she had also realized too late that she got the wrong size. It's ok, Mom's are busy and complex I love mine for thinking of me! =}
So, I went to the store to exchange the boots, I also didn't fancy the style too much. I happened to see other pairs of boots in black and nude ankle height! So cute, but as I tried them on, thanks to my wandering niece (tiny feet pictured at left) helping me pick out shoes (she picked out a pair of brown heels for me, cute too! I have a 3 yr old fashionista!), my eye caught some calf height boots! Now even better than that was a glorious sign that read "buy one, get one for a penny". (Gotta love WetSeal)
'Haaaa' is what my mind said as the fashion angels opened the clouds and I saw the light! I found these pair in my size (the pair on the left is a perfect 8.5, and on the right is a 9) and what you see in the right corner is another pair of boots I tried on. Cute, but I wasn't totally in love with them..then I noticed the pair on the right was a 9 and not a 7.5 like the clamp said. Gotta dig for those finds ladies (and gents)!
I don't mind wearing a size 9, and typically most shoes I purchase are that size anyway because my feet are a little wide.
My absolute favorite part is that I have not one, but TWO pairs of neutral colored boots now, both have a different accent on them (the pair on the right also has the circle buckle on the inside while the pair on the left just simply have the double buckle accent on the outside ankle. The best part is, both pair combined only cost me $20.00! I know, major gasp! It gets better, the boots my mother purchases were 32.80 for the one pair, so I received a store credit card of 12.80, and it NEVER expires! I nearly fainted with excitement inside, couldn't physically because I had my baby with me. My niece would have bombarded me with questions like, why'd you fall down lol.
My mother even congratulated me on my finds. She noticed those pair in the store because they have a similar look to a black leatherette pair I have from Forever21, just with a smaller heel.
This just proves waiting until the end of season to pay for something really pays by saving you money! I will be wearing these boots into spring/summer with skirts/dresses/leggings! BE-YOU-tiful! (That was on a tee I plan to get from Forever ;-} haha). Until next time, smooches!

NYX Purchases

I bought some eyeshadow today! It's a NYX single shadow and the shade is Atlantic. I also purchased eyeshadow base in skin tone. Although I felt like I might as well had the white because it came on looking as such. It definitely helped the blue hue and shimmer in the shadow pop on my lids, although you can't really tell from the second picture. I think this will look great with those blue tights from a few posts ago...hmm *thinking*.
I paid 4.99 for the base, and 3.99 for the shadow at one of my local beauty supply stores. On the NYXcosmetics.com website, the suggested retail price is 6.00 for the base 5.50 for the shadow. The site described the skin tone base as helping to "hold, intensify, and make eyeshadow last longer". What I'm looking for when I wear eyeshadow all day. It was defintiely worth it to me by taking a short ride in my car as opposed to paying more PLUS s&h. Can you say frugal? =}

Ever have that feeling?
