Costume Post: Rapunzel!

I wanted to post the very beginnings of my Rapunzel-inspired costume. Of note: 1) I am buying a bigger, lighter-colored wig that I can braid with flowers and ribbon. 2) The dress needs a LOT of embellishments--Pink laces instead of purple, floral embellishments down the front and across the hem, and the striped puffs at the sleeves. Like I said, work in progress. Here's the inspiration:



With that said, here's my skeleton of a Rapunzel: 





Thrift Store Finds: September Edition!

Hi Ya'll! It's time for my latest installment of "shit I bought at the thrift store recently". Bear in mind that These were not all on the same trip. I would be broke. :)

First up, dusty rose ruffled top by Lauren Conrad (typically sold at Kohl's), $3


I just really liked the Black and White version. Whoops. #selfabsorbed





Next up, white tee with sequins, Express Brand, $3. Purple shorts, $3

So the only thing in this photo I bought this month was the pale blue shorts ($3). However, the boots are from a previous thrift store trip, the tank is from Old Navy (around $4), and the lace top I got as a Christmas gift but it's from Kohl's too.


I am starting to really embrace this crop top thing. I LOVE this one I found (around $2) and the black pencil skirt, which I've been meaning to find for like, forever. Skirt, $2.69

Little black dress with ruffle embellishment, $6. Belt I already had, but it's from the clearance rack at Target (around $7)



This black miniskirt was seriously less than $2. SERIOUSLY. How can you pass that up??? Red top, $3, and the belt is sparkly and has a floral print. You won't believe it: belt, $1.33. Yep. $1.33.


 


So the top of this is actually the beginnings of another costume, but the pieces to this outfit are amazing deals, SO: overshirt, New York and Company, $2. Undershirt, Forever XXI $3. Skirt is the same one previously pictured.


I'm not self-absorbed. I just really like to fantasize about being a supermodel. ;)

So what about you? What's your favorite? Best thrift store find to date?? Comment me!
