A Virtual Personal Shopping Story

I know. I have been posting randomly and out of order but I have been doing a few reader requests (here as well) and I'm trying to put them up as quickly as possible.  Recently, I've been discussing a "mom's wardrobe" for my bloggy buddy, Sili from My Mamihood. As a small business owner, she realized the importance of investing in herself. Smart woman. That being said, she reached out to me to compile a list of items she should get. It went from a list to a huge project that spans over 6 bloggers and we have named it, "How Mami got her Swag Back..." Here is the list:

Her budget is small and as a small business owner, it should be. So I've compiled a few pictures that can serve as inspiration from places such as Old Navy, JcPenney, Uniqlo and Forever 21 amongst others. I am also doing a video with instructions and tips for her to take with her while shopping. Yadira from Club de Las Diosas, will be assisting this anti-shopper and helping her stay under budget and making sure she gets items that can mix and match to get as many looks possible from just these ten items. Only ten items ladies! Here are her inspirational shopping guides.

Good luck Sili and Yadira. The trip will be documented so we will be sharing that with you as well as her purchases, and we will have a few other bloggers joining us in this massive project to help our anti shopping friend so stay tuned.

Almost everyone loves Etsy and I am no exception. I have a few things in my shopping cart but am holding off the checkout until after I move so I have one less thing to pack.  Here are a few of my fabulous finds on Etsy. Don't worry, items I am buying are not in this round up for fear you may get sneaky and snatch it up. I love that everything on that site is vintage or handmade and of course, I am a huge supporter of small business. Which is your favorite?
