Social Media Rant

So I have been super annoyed with social media lately. Here are the things that bother me about it the most! 

1. Facebook - My feed gets flooded with people I don't care as much about. I really only want to see updates on current friends. I also hate how politic talk is rampant on there. I want to see babies, couples, happy occasions, important news, milestones, recipes, but no opinions constantly on trump. I wonder if I block some of those people it will open up to the stuff I want to see

2. Those who don't reciprocate - I am the nicest person on social media. I like photos, I comment, I keep up. I feel like people do NOT do the same with me. Maybe they don't like me, who knows! All I know is that they don't comment back the way they should. And I know, I know, maybe they don't check it or go on as much. But they do! They comment on their friends photos... but then again maybe I am blocked by all of the other stupid crap. 

3. It is so hard to keep up! - I cannot post everyday, I cannot hashtag cute enough, and I am not in trend with all of the new emojis, handwriting tricks and gifs! I finally got gifs on instagram and now they are gone because there was a racist gif. Oy! 


What annoys you the most about social media?

Outfits for less!

Hi all! By the way, I started a new InstaGram account @fitmommafashion  
Hope you come check me out! I love posting about fashion deals I get, workouts I have completed and healthy meals I have created. It has definitely become a passion of mine. I am happy to showcase it with photos and tags on instagram. (Anyone else SICK of Facebook?) Ugh. Thats another story all together! 


So I found these leggings that I loved on Nordstrom from Onzie. Colorblocking is so in right now and cute. Especially in activewear when you want to draw away attention from certain trouble zones. This pair costs $70



Then as I was on Oldnavy (which I love to order stuff for the kids and hubby at great steals) I found this almost identical pair for half the price! So I ordered them and I can't wait till they get here. The high-rise version was $29 plus 20% off and the  mid rise (which flatters me better) was $32 with 20% off (plus I had a $5 credit since Im an avid Banana Republic, Gap, Old Navy shopper!) 



Don't they look eerily similar? I tried the Onzie ones on and they just didn't fit right. So hoping the latter fit better. Happy hunting all!

Styles for less

Ive been noticing trends lately, A LOT. Maybe its just being around other fit and stylish moms. Maybe its having some time to search online while my littles are napping or playing. But I have always known what I like. Here are some really hot things right now and some items that look super similar but for much less!



Ultracor Star Leggings 


Costs $185 for the ankle length and $195 for the full length. I found a very similar pair on ebay going for $30  These are made by Jessica Simpson called the warmup star leggings. They look very similar. However, I wanted the real deal, so I scoured ebay and then postmark and found a pair in my size for $40 plus shipping. Not a bad deal! 




 Golden Goose Star Sneakers

These sell at high end stores, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Saks, Barneys. This pair was $515. Then I found a copy pair that cost $49.98 by Vintage Havana at DSW. Although there are tons of copies of these star sneakers everywhere. I am still unsure if I like them enough for that high price tag, or if the style will die soon. 




Valentino Rockstud Jelly Sandals




I really love the rock stud line. I have a pair of the classic T strap ones that I bought at Saks a few years ago. They were totally worth the $995 price tag. I wear them all the time and they are super comfy. They are now making these which I love for summer at a costly $345 from high end stores. They come in plenty of colors too. Then I saw these replicas Steve Madden for $20. They look identical. 



I always wonder if I should spend the money on the real one, or are some things just worth getting a copy until the trend goes out. However its fun to search around the internet for deals and steals. What have you found copies of that might be worth getting?
