i spend some time tonight driving the girls back and forth across town to soccer practices, my purse beside me. and i also spend some time doing laundry, hanging up clean shirts and sweaters. and i noticed something that i thought was kind of interesting.

this is my favorite purse right now. i love a touch of plaid, and these colors make me happy. and i got it for only $6, which you can't beat. and it's big and roomy. not that i really need all that room. i carry such a small amount of stuff in my purse. wallet, checkbook, lipglosses and chapstick, cell phone and hands-free earpiece (CA law), a pen, some aspirin, loose change, and a TON of tokens from all the indoor soccer games that i've been collecting each weekend 😉

and these are my favorite sweaters. i'm a sucker for little cardigan sweaters. i wear them almost every day. my favorite jeans, a cute cardigan, tank top, and flip flops. standard outfit. and these are my most worn colors. just add in a deep purple and a black one (which didn't quite go with my story, so they got left out of the photo), and i'm good to go. although i was just browsing the old navy site, and there's the most gorgeous orange cardigan and colbalt blue cardigan. sadly, those colors weren't on sale. those would have completed me. lol! the two polka dot sweaters in this photo? i got them for only $4 each. yes, i like to point out my happy bargains 🙂

now to the part that i thought was interesting. these are totally the colors i have going on in the house these days. which i will share photos of next week. still finishing a few things. but today, i accidently found the most perfect kitchen rug. wasn't looking for one, since i already had one. but it found me. and it was on sale, and i had an extra percent off coupon, and i had some store cash to use. i had no choice but to get it. lol! and it ties together everything i've been doing with the colors. with the paint and other decor. i slapped it on the kitchen floor and smiled. and at some point, i realized that it totally matched my purse and clothes. no wonder i love it so much.

    I’m all about $6 purses! Where did you get it? I’ve been considering some cute plaid purses at Claire’s! Who knew? And, I’m totally with you on the standard outfit. Who has time, there’s so much to do in a day!
