Doing my best to stay afloat, which drowning in the ocean of God's grace.
Warning: I am kind of a shopaholic, but I am pretty frugal. It may not seem that way from this video, but please keep in mind that I have zero consumer debt and even though I shop, we do save a ton for retirement, our kids’ college funds, a big emergency fund, and then some. So this is not intended to encourage spending! I just don’t want to be an enabler, so I have to say all that.
You can see the back story to this video, and the whole concept of fashion hauling, here.
So I saw top mom-blogger, Audrey McClelland, tweeting about creating a Fashion Haul video. I had no idea what she was talking about but I kind of guessed and that’s exactly what I’ve been wanting to do for awhile now! Basically you go shopping and then create a video showing off what you got! You can catch her first fashion haul video over at Mom Generations. Awesome tops, she found! I would skip the horizontal stripes. Then I saw this really cute video over at Cutie Bootie Cakes, who has a totally different style than me, but I about DIED when I saw her killer heels. Love those! Both videos were featured as a potential mommy blogging trend by Momfluential!
Suddenly it occured to me that I already did something close to this for the Chevy Girlfriend Getaway, except that I showed a little more of the actual shopping and I didn’t show ALL the purchases, just the shoes…the best part! So check this out.

And to top it off, I have been a fan of Susan Wagner’s Working Closet for a long time now, so this week I was inspired by her love of J. Crew to check out their spring sale on their website. I can only ignore those “20% of an FREE SHIPPING!” emails in my inbox for so long. So when I get those clothes in the mail in a few days, I will make a fashion haul video and post it up here. And maybe I’ll even put it on YouTube to join the Fashion Hauling trend. You won’t believe the bargains 🙂
