BigGyrl Fab Outfit 09/14/2008...

Hey cuzins!!!

Sorry there haven't been alot of Big Gyrl Fab Outfits but after two weeks of tweeking three closets I have finally "edited" things down and made a list of basics that I must get before I get some fun stuff.

I had stuff in the closets, on the floor, in old suitcases from when I lived in the Rock that I HAD to go through and get rid of. But, in the last week, I've been able to go in my drawers and in my closet and come up with some great outfits. Still want new clothes though! lol!


My mom pimped me into a $5 bag sale at the Salvation Army on Saturday. The plan was to spend no money on clothes til' I find "better employment" but it turned out to be SUCH $5 blessing! I found a Gap Coat( that I could actually fit), three Gap cardigans, a Talbots black cardigan, a pair of George stretch bootleg khakis in guess?...18Petite. Also a cute Demin jacket and two pair of Target yoga pants in XXL. All for $5 and plastic Piggly Wiggly Grocery Bag. I was so focused that my uncle's ex-girlfriend was speaking to me and I did hear her! I'll post pics soon.:)

On to the Outfit...


Top: Ashley Stewart via Goodwill
Skirt: Wal-Mart like 3 years ago...

Good Things do happen...

This week has been crazy/great/exhausting. But I believe and have super faith that I'll overcome the obstacles in front me. So, its Friday and I was planning to see the Family That Preys but its only playing at 2 movie theaters in the 'Burg with only 2 times, 7:30 and 9:30 pm.

Tyler better check on that mess.:(

That's not the good news of course...I won a $50 gift card to www.Shopbop.com for being a "power spotter"(?) on Lucky Style Spotter. So, first thing I think is..."I can't wear nada on that website or afford it, but siffed around a got my first pair of Chucks above for $44... Yay!


Then I decided after oggling the Sista Sampler Box on In The Company Of Sistas for quite some time, and decided to get one. It's only 21.50 shipping included...I can't wait to see what I will get. Check out what they have in it and get one....


And I've started back Swapping on MUA and got the best swap today that included a MAC Fluidline Pot in Amethyst. You don't get alot a MAC on MUA unless you SWAPPING MAC....If you got swap list, Check me out under klassygyrl on MUA:)

I want to make sure that I was kinda stocked up for at least three months or so:

Two empty bottles( for oil mixture for my hair)

Elasta QP DPR-II and H-Two( adding a leave conditioner for the fall and winter)

Elasta QP Design Foam

Ilora 100 % Olive Oil

Cocoa Butter Oil( I really need Coconut Oil though...)

Hollywood Beauty Sulfur Hair Treatment

ApHOGEE Intensive Keratin Reconstructor

ApHOGEE Gloss Therapy

I need a new conditioning or moisturizing( did you know there is a difference)shampoo and I'm going go full steam ahead...

It's why I picked up the Elasta QP DPR-II and H-Two in the first place:)
