Thrift Store Finds September Edition: Dresses

-
Hey ya'll, I know it's been a while! Here's an easy, lighthearted post for ya: fun thrift store finds I found in late September. Most of these I did purchase; a few I did not. I promise a post of substance coming soon--it has been a wild ride for the bigger part of October and I'm seriously hoping life will calm down for November. I've had all the excitement I can stand, but I can tell you all about that soon. :)

This dress is just so *easy*. It's deep plums, browns, greys, tans. Basically every easy color in my wardrobe. Literally throw on shoes and a necklace and go.


For one of the first times ever, my boobs were just too big for this lacy little number. Not purchased.


I have never, and will never, run an Ironman, but it's cute for working out no? Purchased, $2.

FAVORITE find of the day: this long maxi dress. It's a light polyester something-or-other blend. $6.


Brand new, made in India, gorgeous dress. I have yet to wear it, because I don't want to waste it's debut on an everyday boring occasion! $6


This 1980's dress was just too fun not to try on, but the fit was all wrong for my body type. Not purchased.

There are two things I truly, truly love about sundresses, and this one has both: buttons and pockets. I bought it, I love it, and I wear it weekly. Such a great investment at $6.

Ology Cruelty-Free Laundry Soap

As many of my dear friends know, along the way of becoming a mostly-vegan vegetarian, I have started to incorporate cruelty-free shopping into my lifestyle wherever possible. This means buying soaps, detergents, skincare, makeup, and bath items that were not tested on animals and preferably not made from animal products. Now, this process is by no means easy. A few afternoons poring over websites, a few cruelty-free apps for my iPhone downloaded, and a few trips to Target and Walgreens later, and I have to say, the selection dwindles infinitely when you decide to stop buying animal-tested products. But that's the problem and the point I guess; almost everything we buy is tested in labs on poor defenseless animals when now safer, more effective ways of lab testing exists. There is no reason why, in the year 2013, and in the massive amount of technological and scientific advancement that we as a society now face, that we should be testing harsh chemicals on defenseless living cr...

The Start of my Epic Journey Southward

I started my journey bright and early. Okay, for definition’s sake, “early” was 8:00 a.m. In any case, after shoving a very disgruntled red minpin into her crate and tossing her lovingly on the front seat, fueling up my car with gasoline and my belly with hot tea, I was on the road.  Noticing the frost on the grass as I sped past my neighbor’s lawns for the last time in an immeasurable while, I couldn’t help but feel excitement knowing that I would soon be in the South—in the warmth, in the heat, in the sun. The drive to South Carolina (my destination for night one) is a mountainous trek that, thankfully, this time of year is beautiful. Painted horizons of reds, yellows, greens, oranges, and rusts led my way as I sped up, down, and around the mountains of West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina. Road trips are fun, believe it or not. I keep myself entertained (being my favorite person on the planet has its advantages—for example, I don’t mind traveling with mys...

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 c...
