Big Thanks!!!

E-mail from Heather

Laura, you are wonderful! Here is one of the outfits you found in my closet that I NEVER would have put together. The shirt is about 8 years old and the shoes I got at Payless about 5 years ago for like $6. The shorts I had just bought at Target for like $7. I only wore this shirt at night because I considered it too dressy to wear during the day and I NEVER would have put it with shorts much less green shorts!! I also would not have thought to wear heels with shorts much less white shoes with green shorts. You opened up my wardrobe by showing me a few simple things like this. I cannot thank you enough. You are right about the "pop" of color!!! For $7 I made an entirely new outfit that I love!!!!!! Thank you Laura!

Heather Kirby

I got the sweetest letter in the mail today from my new friend Heather. She was my first client, and of course she didn't need any help but we had a blast!!! It takes a lot for me to cry, but sweet Heather accomplished that. I love Centsibly Chic and I hope that I can help women every where, It just took Heather to let me know that and thank you so much for the encouraging words. You have helped me out more than you can imagine. And thank you for being my first client. God could not have chosen a better person ; )

It is so important to help give others a boost of confidence, no matter who we are. Whether we are trying to start a dream job, or being a hard working mom or wife, or even just living your everyday life.

This is a e-mail I received from Heather. You are too sweet ; ) thank you

How to wear!

Hey Friends,
I found a web site that talks about the latest Jewelry trends. Take a look, I think that this will benefit everyone. Since I can't be there to show you, this gives you a few ideas of how I would use pieces of jewelry. Have fun reading, and if you have any questions be sure to ask.

And remember, you can take the simplest outfit, like a t-shirt and jeans. And really jazz it up by adding jewelry.

Mom's day ; )

I am so excited to talk to you about Mothers Day. What a blessing it is to be a mom. I know we all know that, even through the tough times, being a mommy is the best thing in the world. I am also so very blessed to have three wonderful grandmothers, and 5 fabulous mom's. Yes, I included my in-laws and my Aunt's. Thank you all for having such a major impact on my life. You all have loved me unconditionally and have taught me so much. I hope to share that with Dillon and future kids and grand kids.

Being a mom has changed me in so many way's. I never knew that I could be so protective of this little creation that God blessed us with. He can make me so frustrated at times but those are few and far between. The way he screams when he is frustrated can bug me soooo bad but when he laughs and crinkles his little nose makes up for that. The way he runs up to me or his daddy and gives us a BIG hug around our neck, (and of course he has Guck,Guck with him) makes my heart fill up with so much love. When he wakes up in the morning and want's you to get Guck,Guck, Poo Poo aka-Pillow , that is when his daddy's personality comes in to play. Everyone say's he acts like his daddy and looks like his mommy ; ) and he is a very persistent little fella. I will always treasure these moments in life. Thank you God for the frustrating days as well as the good day's. And thank you God for the ladies in my life who have taught both Jeffery and me the importance of being a good mom and a faithful loving dad. I have been told that he looks just like me, and I have to say that is a true compliment!

So while we are the subject of mothers day-If you need a wardrobe make over then give me a call or shoot me an e-mail. I would love to help you find your style without you paying a lot of money. We all need to feel good and look good so let's give those sweet, loving husbands a great gift idea for absolutely nothing. 50.00 to come in your closet and find new and cute clothes and I can also shop if needed. It makes a fun Girls night or day!!! We all need to feel good about ourselves without paying a lot of money. Happy Mothers Day to you all!! You deserve a wonderful day!!

God Bless Laura

I have so much to say about many of you. Thank you all for your friendship. xxxxx

My Sweet baby is so in love with this nasty Duck.
I guess in a way we are both attached to this thing. I
get sad thinking about the day he doesn't want it
anymore.


This is my family. We had a wonderful Photographer Martin Harris with Brit Snap Photography. He really captured who we are. I love my little family and I love what they have taught me. Thank you Lord for these many blessings.

I am posting some pics of my family- They are so special to me, I am very blessed. Thank you God!

I am the 3rd sibling of two wonderful sisters, I would of never thought that I was going to have a little boy. I was nervous,scared, and happy at the same time. This little boy has brought so much joy in my life! Dillon was very easy, he starting sleeping through the night in 1 month. I got so use to him being so easy, and then all of a sudden he hit the 1 year mark and WOW what a change. All Boy!!! I have been told that he has a lot of his daddy's personality. That is fine by me, I pray every day that he turns out as good as his daddy ; )

I know you guy's are wondering why is she posting pics of her family. Well like I said before with out the support from them my dream of helping others and working with clothes would not be possible. My friends and family are so wonderful, and I can not stress that enough. I want to help women feel good about themselves,like they have made me feel good about myself.

Amy's wardrobe makeover!

Amy was having problems, like most women, finding different ways to pair outfits. I choose this bright green and grey jeans and added gold shoes and jewelry. You can also pair it with white jeans, skinny jeans and dark denim jeans. Or even a casual pair of shorts. Don't forget a pop of color goes along way. You can add color with shoes and jewelry. Perfect!




I know this is goofy but Amy told me to take a photo of what I was wearing today. My ruffled cream top is from Target, the belt is from a black dress I bought last year, the cardigan is NY and Co., half off and my basic boyfriend jeans (which anyone can wear) are from NY and Co, half off. The shoes were from Ross for $20. Gold shoes are a good investment. This is my Sat casual running errands outfit.






Below are several pictures of Amy's blue pants that she had a hard time finding tops for. I found four tops to work with them. Now she has four new outfits. Everything you see was in her closet. I also added tons of jewelry.


Don't forget to layer your jewelry. These two colors made the outfit pop.


All of these outfits are great for work!












Amy bought this new blazer and all she could think to put with it was black pants and a cream colored top. I thought this color was perfect for it. I added the pearl and gold necklace and mustard color shoes and bracelet. She looks great with or without the blazer.

The photo at the bottom are a great example of how you can mix and match. The top was something she would have worn with off white dress pants. I paired it with white jeans and yellow accessories. It would be great with dark jeans and a red necklace too.


Thanks Amy for letting me make over your closet. We had so much fun! If you want me to come to your house I will be happy to, just contact me any time.

Hey Friends,
I have been looking around trying to find some cute casual dresses. We all know living in the south you can't wear those jeans much longer. And it's nice to just throw on something and still feel comfortable and look good ; ) I went by charoltte Rouss and Wet Seal and found some adorable dresses at a great price. Be sure to check out the web sites!

Hey Bloggers,
This is the best time to buy those cute formal dresses. If you have a prom next year, ball or even a nice wedding, be sure to buy your dress now. Just a little fashion secret- most styles that are in this season are still in for next year. So get that dress and look great for your next event ; )

Gap

Hey Friends,
The Gap is having a great sale on their T-shirts. Be sure to go by and pick up a few. You can't have enough T's. You can dress them up with a pair of your favorite jeans(skinny or straight legged) and don't forget to add your accessories to make it pop. Also, a great set of heels goes a long way. But, if your not up for a crazy evening, then find your favorite pair of shorts, jeans or even a skirt and take it down a notch. Put your cute heels or sandals on, and enjoy your day. T-shirts may be simple but they sure can be fun.
FYI-Don't forget to purchase a cardigan to go over that T-shirt. It also is a great add to your attire.


You can also take a survey on line and you get 20% off your next purchase at the Gap. But, you have to purchase a few items first.

wedding weekend!

Hey Sweet Friends,
I just wanted to share with you my wonderful weekend. Our friends Joe and Angie were married on Saturday and it could not have been a more beautiful weekend!!! During all the festivities I took the time to think about some things. First I have been to a lot of big weddings and I have enjoyed every single one of them. The bride is always gorgeous and the men are dressed to kill ; ) The reception is wild and crazy fun and by the end of the night you think to yourself what a great couple and I pray that their love stays strong and that they are just as in love in 30 years as they are now. But looking back at all those long late night wedding, including mine, doesn't compare to the love of the families that I experienced this weekend. Weddings are about families and friends you don't need to spend a lot of money to make something special. I learned that this weekend and I had the best time with these families and I understand how special both Angie and Joe's love is. The reason I am sharing this information with you is because it has a lot to do with your daily life. Angie looked gorgeous and she was so happy and confident in herself. I want everyone, to be confident in yourself, you do not have to go out and spend a fortune on a outfit because that's not what makes you feel good. Keep it simple and inexpensive, and you will see that with time it's not how much you spend on your clothes but how you feel about what you are wearing. Thanks to Joe and Angie's family for letting us be part of your very special weekend. Many blessings to you all.
