Photography, Adventure, Glitter, and (Vegan) Cupcakes

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: 

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

I realize that most of my posts lately have been super serious in nature, and I've been wanting to post about one of my favorite things in the entire world lately, anyway: budget fashion. Anyone who has ever been to a Goodwill with me or has seen my closet will tell you this is no understatement. And so, I did a photo shoot tonight in my bedroom (tripod setup and all) to show you most of the latest haul. Two pairs of jeans I purchased are not pictured, as they're pretty basic, but everything else I wanted to show off! :) I have to tell you, I simply LOVED playing fashion model for a night, as you can probably tell from the shots. I even enjoyed modelling my wigs--I'm learning to just embrace them and make them rock my look. :) For these first few shots, I already owned the jeans (which by the way, I purchased on a previous thrifting expedition for $7 and later found out that they're a brand which sells for $150 at Nordstrom--learn to thrift people! I'm serious!!)
