Psycho Bozo

, , , , , , 0

While killing some time in Kohl’s last week, I found some 49¢ inspiration for Holden’s 5th birthday party…yes, the one that is 11 months away.

There were some cute felt flags with a {circus} theme. They were 90% off! Five of them remained and that was a sign for me that I had to pick them up and use them as a springboard for H’s half-decade celebration.

I love all the bright, bold colors.

So, yes, I am psycho when it comes to planning parties ~ now it’s official if it wasn’t already.

I think a Circus/Carnival theme will be so fun to put together.

And I promise it will be {classy}…no scary clowns or carny material will be on the guest list!

Steal of the Week

shoe

OK, so you may be wondering with a name like “Flip Flop Follies” what is a cute pair of peep-toe heels doing as my first shoe pic? Well, there is a very good reason for that…I wore these to Jay’s & my 5th anniversary dinner last weekend. But, almost better than our anniversary, is what I paid for these cuties. Are you ready for this? $6.52 (that includes 9.75% tax!). Are you kidding me? Genuine Leather, not “pleather”. I love that Kohl’s has designers like Vera Wang helping to make fashion more affordable. But seriously, these were regularly $69.99 (which I would never in a gazillion years pay at Kohl’s – not to mention that Kohl’s would ever actually sell them at this price either. They totally overprice stuff and then immediately throw up a 30% sale sign the minute the new merchandise hits the floor!) Anywhoo, I was looking for some sparkly shoes for Elliott’s Halloween costume and when I didn’t have any luck in the kid’s shoes, I wandered to the “big girls” shoes and stumbled across these that were marked 90% off and were $6.99. Well, thank goodness I am a size 10 and needed a nice pair of black shoes for Jay’s holiday party. I took them to the checkout and as if $6.99 wasn’t low enough, the nice woman at the register gave me an additional 15% off for “friends and family”. LOVE her!! Now, comes the hard part…I have to retrain my feet to walk in these things. My tootsies have become extremely fond of flip flops, ballet flats and New Balance over the past, oh, 5 years. I hope that wearing heels after 5 years is like riding a bike. I will let you know on Sunday, December 13th after I have worn them all night the night before! Maybe I should hide a pair of flip flops in my clutch just in case!
