Thrifty Tuesdays

Gone thrifting this afternoon. I loaded up a cart full and tried them all on. How great is retail therapy. I came out with some real winners. Two of my faves are below.

Front Tied Sweater, $2 (regular $4)

The unsewn hem of the dress has beautiful lace peeking out from beneath. This was my winning purchase for $2.25 (regular $4.50).

Outfit Details:
Sweater: Thrifted, 3/1
Skirt: Thrifted, 3/1
Belt: Thrifted, Feb
Shoes: Target Clearance, already had 2007

Total cost of outfit including belt: $9.50

Also scored...

Houndstooth Skirt $2.50 and Blue Turtleneck Sweater $2

And basic black pants $2 and a navy blue Grey's Anatomy brand scrub top, $1.75! It was a great day to go thrifting.

Making a list and checking it twice...



Gonna find out if it's a good price. Oh Mandy's got some thrifting to do! I know I have a ton of clothes already- all of which are buried deep in storage from our big move. I believe that by the time we finish building our house, and unpack- things will definately not fit me and gasp! may even be out of style. I feel that style challenges such as those posted on Everybody,Everywear certainly get my hamster wheels a-turnin and make me excited about getting dressed in the morning. Now I'm not so afraid to be so matchy-matchy with my clothes and shoes, thanks to...  Kileen and her color brigade and Sally @ AlwaysPretty.com . It's so refreshing to see their use of vibrant colors. Sally has some great tips and ideas for incorporating color into your outfit with shoes.



  

I got these babies for $5 clearance at Target about 3 yrs ago. They have been worn maybe twice- simply because I didn't know what to wear them with for the longest time. I intend to show them some love.

Graype Soda

Here I smile, though I feel yucky, so forgive the no make-up/hair up in a bun look,
I promise this will not be a re-occuring theme.

This is me without makeup. Which is big for me- (I divulge I am a notorious glam camper- I can't leave home without it.) Spent the whole day in my pj's today. But I felt a bit better after throwing some clothes on to run a little errand. It gave me a great opportunity to debut my newly dyed purple top. This little guy was originally white, with white eyelet trim at the neck, and I absolutely loved it. That is until I noticed the little unsightly little yellow stain in front, how long and how it got there beats me. I'd tried several of my faithful over the counter spot removers with no luck, so it's been banished to the get rid of it pile- until now. One of my roomates- (and when I refer to roomates I mean inlaws and sister in law because my husband and I are in process of building our home right now and this allows us to save and build- we are so lucky to have them). So yes... my roomate was dying a costume for her school dance performance and at last minute we ran around  the house looking for other things to try dying. No need to waste a batch of perfectly good dye, right? Suprisingly, the shirt came out better than I expected, and due to the different materials it absorbed different amounts of the dye.

With all of the beautiful spring-like weather we've been having these past few weeks, I forgot that it's still tecnically winter. Last nights storm dropped a few inches of fluff in the higher elevations, so they cancelled school for all the kids. I planned to make a quick trip to the grocery store to pick up soup, lozenges, tea and juice before the next storm hits. Who know's what tomorrow will look like...

Dumb & Dumber

 

I couldn't help but share one of my favorite movie lines :)

Home from work! Does this smile say TGIF or what?

Cardigan: Old Navy (Fall 2010)

Shirt: Tilly's (Spring 2010)

Jeans: Old Navy Flirt Skinny Jeans (Fall 2010)

Jewelry: Cookie Lee
Flats: Nicole via ROSS* (Spring 2010)

*Note: These had extra large rosettes when I bought them. By the time I got them home I had to bust out the scissors and give them a bit of a trim. Now they don't flop over the edge of the toe as loosely. I think it looks much better.
