If you know me well you’ll know how crazy I am about eBay. I love the hunt of finding a good deal as well as making money on pieces that are in good shape in order to rebuild funds for my fashion spending habit. You’ll see me list out where I found the items in my outfit below the photo’s but 75% of the time I purchased the item from eBay. That being said there are high chances that the items in the photo’s will one day be listed on eBay for sale if I take good care of it. 
 
I often tell people about the opportunity to save money on eBay but some are skeptical for many reasons, and rightfully so. But have no doubt, sellers want to keep a good standing with eBay and 99% of the time the buyer runs the show. Even if the item says “no returns”, you can create a dispute about the item and you’ll be refunded all dollars paid. For me, the risk is worth it for the amount I’m saving. 
 
This is not an eBay paid advertisement, just a friend telling a friend about a great way to save some dollars. So, next time you are shopping for an item that you feel sick about paying full retail price for, try the item on, get the information and search for it on eBay.
Let me know how it goes. 😉
 
Until then, this Rebecca Minkoff bag is my new love. In May, I went on a girl Vegas trip and purchased this Rebecca Minkoff studded wallet on a chain.  It fit perfect for the trip but was an unrealistic everyday situation. Naturally, it went up on eBay; same place I bought it from and I was able to sell it for just about the same amount I purchased it for on eBay. Shortly following, out pooped this larger Studded Affair bag in the photo above.  
 
It’s still lovely in Portland and I’m out for the car hunt. Found myself a cute little used Volvo V50 wagon with a sunroof that I’m purchasing today. Much thanks to you dad and grandma for letting me drive your 1997 Saturn while on my car hunt, it treated me well but I’m ready to drive up HWY 26 without driving in the right lane waving people to pass.

Neon has been somewhere on my body all week. Today my favorite item is this J.Crew pencil skirt I bought just this past winter. When J.Crew runs their “30% off all sale items” it makes me feel like I’ve hit the lotto. Sign up for their emails to get notified when they’re running this. Or not.

Hello, June

 
Zara floral print blouse
H&M denim 
Zara woven ankle strap flats

June… Already?

Jeff and I spent the day prepping our yard for summer gatherings and planting our vegetable garden. Love the look of bundles of flowers but my face does not. Allergies are in full affect so this weekend I opted for printed floral rather then the real thing.

Jeff will be in Vegas on my 32nd birthday for Mr. Bachelor Gilbo so what other way to spend a weekend of debauchery away with ladies Ashley and Lauren.
Count down begins!

New Years Eve

For new years eve, Jeff, Joe, Mandy and I were invited to Sean and Charissa’s house for a dinner party. I posted a bit about my outfit and our evening plans but have failed to post pictures since. 
We had the absolute best time visiting with Mandy and Joe who are now living full time back in Austin after their global nomad adventure, eating the delicious food served by the Pensonanderfields and blowing horns and drinking too much with great friends.

ABOUT THE BLOG

Wright for Michele is a Portland based lifestyle blog devoted to cultivating stylish, relatable and creative content. It also serves as a personal time capsule of my family’s journeys, giggling and stumbling a bit, through it all.

I started "Wright for Michele" back in 2010 as a creative outlet and to share the things I love (basically the exact same reason the rest of the internet started blogging). Often this blog is about family, sometimes it’s about style, and in general it’s about life and how you (and me) can make every single area in it, better. It’s simple, it’s real (sometimes a little raw and almost always full of grammatical errors), it’s honest and hopefully no matter what it’s a little sweet.
