If you haven’t been to Magnolia yet, put that on your list of to do’s this 2017. It is such a fun day trip to check out the town of Waco and do all things fixer upper. The store is full of everything you’ve always wanted and they even have food trucks and fun, family activities outdoors. I highly suggest going on a nice, spring day! I wanted to share some pictures from my day at Magnolia and tips on shopping affordably when you are there…

The day we went to Magnolia was an unusually warm winter day and so I went with some layering just in case it got to be too warm. I just bought this striped peplum top from Old Navy and I think I want it in every color they have. It is under $25 and super flattering! It is the perfect transition piece into spring time which I can’t believe I am even saying because it is still January. I kept my look mostly black with black sculpt jeans from Old Navy, my striped top & my go-to leather jacket I scored from TjMaxx. I love a good leather jacket but can’t afford the real stuff. This leather jacket was under $30 but still looks expensive. I finished my look off with my favorite tan booties I found at Famous Footwear this past fall. I love a good, simple outfit like this and it always looks put together without trying too hard.

While at Magnolia, channel 10 was asking some shoppers what they were looking forward to in 2017 and what their memories were of 2016. It was a cool experience and really challenged me to truly think about what I want out of this new year. I challenge you to ask yourself the same question!

When shopping at Magnolia, it is easy to want EVERYTHING. I suggest picking 1 or 2 favorites and buying those. You can always find similar items at Home Goods or flea markets. My family and I went to Magnolia when there was a huge sale going on, 75% off all holiday decor. I highly suggest going next year right after Christmas to get this great deal again!

For necessories with this look, I added some key pieces to dress my look up a bit. I wore this statement necklace from Gap and my maroon tote that I wear literally everyday from Old Navy! I finished off with my new go-to watch, my rose gold apple watch with my new rose gold band I got off amazon for 15 bucks! Can you tell I like rose gold?
