About Me

My photo
Rural, GA, United States
I'm an army wife, working mom of 2 kids.! My husband Tim is a Soldier In the army. I work for MWR for the Community Recreation Division as an admin assistant...I absolutely LOVE my job I couldn't have found anything better! My daughter, Kennedie, was born in January of 04 and our son, Cale, was born June of 09. Kennedie is VERY involved in dancing, she is in her 11th season (2019-2020) of being a competitive dancer. It's exhausting but we LOVE it. Cale is starting to REALLY get into sports. He is on a year round wrestling team, and he plays baseball in the spring! This blog started out as a recipe sharing venture but now it's going to turn into a more "granola" way to live. Cheap recipes more homemade recipes and re-purposing things. I'm a crafter at heart so I'm going to throw some of that in there too! On Valentines Day of 2017 we bought our first Travel Trailer. I'll be documenting our travels also on this blog!

Nadine West Box 21


Love the color, love the style I didn't love the length.  Can't wear it to work.  Sent back: $23.99
This shirt was great - sure my daughter would have worn it.  Didn't like the price.
Sent back: $24.49
I liked the fabric of this shirt, I liked the detail on the neckline.  But I was unsure how that would wash and still look the same.
I also didn't like the color of it.  Sent back: $24.49
I have a lot of these types of shirts.  The bell sleeves get caught on my computer chair at work - I'm always afraid I'm going to rip them!
Also the print really didn't do it for me.  Sent back: $19.49
This dress is a no on so many levels.  First I'm not a candy striper at the hospital, it's REALLY short, and the boxy-ness of it.
Sent back: $23.99
This was a beautiful jade/emerald green color!  It was soft as well.  I just didn't have a ton to wear with it...
and I felt it was a tad bit expensive.  Sent back: $24.99
ehh - that's really how I felt about them.
So I sent them back: $18.19
Have a lot of this same shirt.
Didn't see the need for another one.  Sent back: $14.49
I kept this great polo style shirt, it's totally my jam! Kept: $20.99

Nadine West - Box 18

Got my 18th Package!
Here is what I got this time:

This great yellow and navy/grey plaid shirt.  It's a soft cotton and it was awesome!  Totally kept it: $26.99
(Shared this photo in forum I'm on that people don't know my last name so I had to cover my name tag)
This great grey tank top!!!
I love the back!! Kept: $24.99
 Not really my style - reminded me of something I would wear in the 90's.
 It was a guazy linen material - sent back: $34.49
 This tank was cute but I decided to send it back because of the price: $17.49
 You know I love my black leggings with fun designs.  But I'm almost at my limit of black mesh leggings.
The fact that it didn't have a phone pocket sealed the deal to send them back:  $23.99
Cute shorts but too high waisted for my daughter and myself sent back:  $11.99
 I originally was going to keep this dress.  Put it on the morning I was going to wear it and it was SO SHORT!
 It had the cutest ruffle details - but the slightest of breeze would have shown my under carriage to the whole world!  sent back: $29.99
 Just nah...
Cute detail at the top but not my style sent back:  $31.49
This one was a longer dress meant to hit mid calf.  It's off the shoulder and the elastic was threaded wrong so I would have had to fix the elastic to even be able to wear it.  Sent back: $29.99

Nadine West Box 17

Got a 17th Box:
 I kept this great shirt! Perfect for work. $22.49
 While this is a cute dress the color wasn't going to look good on me at all.  Sent back: $24.99
 I loved this shirt but it was more of a crop top - and not for me.  Sent back: $24.49

 Love a cute set of joggers!  Kept: $21.49
 These were cute but they were a little itchy.  I didn't know how I would style them for work so I sent them back: $22.99

 Cute but I already have a TON of floral shirts/dresses.  Sent back: $29.99
 Neither mine or my daughters style, sent back: $23.49
 These were a skinny leg romper. I did try it on (dance moms made me!) but I just couldn't get into it.  Sent back: $29.99
Super soft material but I wasn't excited about it!  Sent back: $22.49

Thred-up Goody Box #3

I just LOVE these boxes.  I opened this one up at the dance studio with my dance mom friends and everyone liked the stuff I got!  One mom liked one so much she took it to the bathroom to try it on!! I got a TON of Lilly stuff too!!!  If I kept everything in the box (which thankfully I won't - some of the stuff isn't my style) I would be paying about $300.00 - the invoice said I was saving $1026 off the retail price!!
I wore this the very next day that I received my box.  This Lilly shirt was the first thing I saw when I opened up the box.  LOVE IT!  Kept: $17.99 (TU retail $71)
 This GREAT BCBG Maxazria shirt Keep: $27.99 (TU retail: $198)
 Closer view of the top.
 I absolutely loved these JCrew shorts!!!  I loved the ruffle at the top and the ruffle at the pockets!
 Kept: $12.99 (TU retail: $36)
I've never heard of this brand but it's SO soft and very easy to wash and wear!  Mountain Khaki's - looks like it's from Jackson Hole, WY.  It's great heathered blue color. Kept: $19.99 (TU retail: $119)

These are what I decided to send back:
 These Lilly wool pants.  1. The wide leg isn't my style, and 2. They are wool and we live in Georgia.  They are listed as "Linen Pants" on my invoice - but they are very heavy and thick.
Sent back: $28.99 (TU retail: $179)
 Lilly Pulitzer Dress.  I LOVED IT but it was VERY short and I just don't know when I would wear it.
 Regretfully sent back: $34.99 (TU retail: $143)
 Lilly P cardigan: I loved it.  Didn't love the price.
 Sent back: $30.99 (TU retail: $179)
 Calypso By Christiane Celle.  Again I just don't know where I would wear this dress.  It's SO CUTE but the fabric is tafetta-esk and feels to formal for work.
 Another regretful send back: $18.99 (TU retail: $48)
 Lilly P (they NAILED my Lilly love this package).
 This was just out of my price range for a tank top.  Sent back: $38.99 (TU retail: $179)
 Cute dress - the stripes aren't my style.  I wish this was all mint colored - because that back bow is cute!! (this is a picture of the back of the dress, the front is just plain).  Sent back this Coveted Clothing dress: $16.99 (TU retail: $48)
 Lilly belt.  I don't wear these types of belts sent back: $31.99. (TU retail: $107)

I kept $68 worth of stuff.  I calculated this box would have cost $280.89 and thred up is telling me I would have saved $1,026 off retail.
