{eclectic-esque}
Ahh, the first Cheap Thrills Thursday post of 2015. It feels good, y'all. Welcome to a brand new year of finding the look for less! I've decided to begin with a Meghan-bang by showcasing one of my most favorite outfit concoctions. It's important that you know I love going rogue on the fashion scene. Rogue as in, I am quite certain several heads shake in disbelief at some of the get-ups I effort on my person. It's also important for you to know that I absolutely could care less what's deemed mainstream, popular or front-of-the-store trending. To me, fashion is finding you. If that involves leg warmers and knicker jeans or making up words like eclectic-esque so be it.
Do these jeans stop right under my knee cap? Uh-huh.Is my best friend reading this and completely cringing right now? Uh-huh.
And let's be sure to note here that I have an obsessive personality. No, not the diagnosable sort. I mean, I don't think I need medication {yet}. It's just that maaaayyyyybbeeee when I find an article of clothing that I absolutely adore, I just might wear it seventy-bajillion times. Some people lie in bed at night pondering the solutions to life's big problems. Not me. I make Punnett Squares with all the different combinations in which I can wear said obsessive article of clothing.
Said obsessive article of clothing: leg warmers. Documented here as well. And un-photographed at least 10 times since I received them as a gift in early November.
Punnett Squares, people.
But the real kicker here is the blouse. She's my statement piece. I uuuuuuu-dooor her. The fabric is a real thin satin crinkle. She has these flare sleeves that just about do.me.in. I feel so happy when this blouse is up in my club.

I am in the honeymoon phase of obsessiveness with the teal booties. They are running a hot close 2nd in the bedtime Punnett Square compilation routine. Will you be seeing more of these delightful feet in shade o'teal?Um, yes.Are you jonesin' to buy yourself your very own pair of jean knickers after this post?Sisters, don't all of you rush out at once. There's plenty knee knickers for all of us.
I'm getting a little charismatic with this leg warmer obsession. I'm even asking people to sport some themselves. If you do, I'd love to see! Post your images to social media with the hashtag: #shinshow. I have big plans to absolutely exhaust my love affair with the cute coverage of the calf in these cold months.
Lastly, there's new scents at k.Mac! The above scents are being offered at almost $2.00 off the original price from now until 1/31. The new scents debuted this month are "Frosted Snow Flurries" and "Pomegranate Mandarin". Need a litte more details about these new scents?
Here you go:
“Frosted Snow Flurries” is a refreshingly clean scent investing in the tones of woodland moss and spearmint. Its earthy undercurrent is deep. This scent's throw boasts of a bold freshly snow fallen brilliance. “Pomegranate Mandarin” is a melody of pomegranate, mandarin, blackberry & a touch of sandalwood. It’s scent vibes a sweet fruity appeal with a barely there tartness.
