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!!)...

I should probably preface this post by stating that I go thrift shopping at least once a month. Imagine my excitement when my new friend Scuffy also informed me that she loves thrift-ing. Done deal, it's a date. I had a mission this particular go-round: locate at least one of my Halloween costumes (I have multiple soirees this year), and locate some work clothes. Perhaps also some Pinterest project-worthy decorative items. Well, I located six dresses and a shirt, so I guess that sort of counts? I don't know, but I did locate one of my two Halloween costumes--our friend Adam is having a Prohibition Halloween party, and so of course I'm going as a flapper. I located a sequin-covered shift dress. Add in some arched 20's eyebrows, long seed bead necklace, and some bobby-pinned 'do, and I'll be happy. My favorite find though? This fantastic Deer Dress, below: It's super short, so I don't think I can safely get away with wearing it to work, but o...
