I hope you had a great weekend!
Like most people, I’m always looking for ways to stretch my clothing budget. I’m becoming better at remixing the pieces in my closet (most of these pieces have been on the blog before). I’ve worn these sandals and this purse so many times this summer. I know you are probably sick of this purse! When I’m not remixing, I’m looking for versatile (not too expensive except for shoes) ways to update an outfit and this vest is the perfect piece to update most outfits.
I’m a very happy camper anytime I can shop with free money aka a gift card. Am I the only one who still gets gift cards as a gift? Some are awesome (yes to my Saks gift card from my corporate credit card points!) and some not so much (I’m not naming any names here…). I wanted to share a website that I’ve recently come across, Raise.com, which allows you to sell unwanted gift cards or buy gift cards at a discount. I’m looking forward to unloading some of those unnamed gift-cards for cash. I hate it when I have a gift card to store I don’t shop at sitting in my wallet taunting me. At last check, discounted gift cards were available for most retailers featured today. You can learn more about buying and selling gift cards at Raise.com.
What’s the best gift card you’ve received?

I love remixing and recycling items in my closet. It helps exercise our creativity. I like how you combined the navy and white stripes with the khaki green. Very cool look! :-)

Such a cute look. I like that you stayed in the neutral tone family and gave us one visual piece, that being the stripped dress. Love how casual & comfy you look.

Love this look on you. I’m looking for a vest and an earring like yours. I may have to check old navy out for the vest. I have no choice but to remix my outfits, and I’m having fun doing it. I hope you have an amazing week Nicole.

Love the striped skirt and military vest combined with with the feminine jewlery! I think the worst gift card I ever received was a gift card to a department store that didn’t even exist in my state. This was before online shopping, LOL. So I was like…I can’t even use this! Sad!

I haven’t had a gift card in years! It is frustrating though when you have one for a store you’re not keen on. I like those general ones that can be used in a variety of stores. You always wear the most stunning jewellery and accessories. Your chain bangle is just gorgeous.

I really love your sense of style Nicole!! Ive been wanting to try on a vest such as yours but I’m always skeptic that I can pull it off. You on the other hand, pulled this off so well and then some! So casually stylish and went perfectly with those wedges!!! :) love this like always, Nicole!

You can’t beat that price and it looks great with this whole ensemble you put together! You really know how to throw and arm party girl! Another great look Nicole!
