Polka Dotted Headband
I love headbands, but I also don't want to spend a lot of money on them either. So I have come up with a solution...make my own! This headband was made from fabric scraps (which I have way too many of!), a button from an old wool coat, and a piece of elastic. The flower was made from a tutorial I found on Marie-Madeline Studio. This was so easy to make, that I don't think I will ever buy another headband. =)

Mini Haul - Earrings and Jeans
This afternoon I went to the mall with my mom and Gabrielle, and we ran into some good sales. Payless is having a buy one get one 1/2 off everything. You can buy a pair of shoes and sunglasses, one of those would be 1/2 off. I didn't get anything at Payless though, as they didn't have any shoes I liked in my size. =)
We also stopped at J.C.Penny were I picked up a pair of jeans for $17 normally $36. My old pair is faded and forming holes on the seams. Not pretty.
There are the sales I discovered while out shopping today. Oh, The Young Victoria comes out on DVD and on iTunes tomorrow!

In real life the jeans are darker then shown here.
Our last stop was at Claire's. I only have three pairs of earrings and I'm getting tired of wearing the same ones everyday. =) At Claire's they are having a buy 2 get one pair free sale. So of course I bought three pairs.
And now I have eleven more pairs of earrings. =) I can't wait for when I can wear non-post earrings! For all stores seam to have the same kind of post earrings! I see a need for someone to design unique post earrings. Who is with me?
