Thrift-a-holic

There is nothing like finding a treasure hidden among the many racks of unwanted clothes in a thrift shop. Also, shopping at stores like Salvation Army and Goodwill can be great for your wallet. By now most of you know I'm totally addicted to thrift stores, so I decided to document one of my adventures with my mom. She's definitely the best shopping buddy!

Here I am pulling out the best find of the day. An early 1960's circle skirt! I immediately fell in love with it and prayed it was my size, it fits me perfectly and was 3 dollars!

Perusing the old dresses is one of my favorite pastimes at a thrift store.

The main reason I went shopping this particular day was to see if this amazing teal blazer was still there. I had seen it two weeks ago and didn't buy it, when I went back it was still there!

1960's circle skirt, blue snake skin like jacket, vintage scarf, BCBG cashmere sweater, and a beautiful teal blazer. Total amount of money spent: 15 bucks!

Target top and moto boots, 10 year old American Eagle jean jacket, and Charlotte Russe leggings.

One of my favorite things in the entire world is dressing up and most days I am dressy; but there are some days you just want to throw on something simplistically stylish and comfortable. This is my super casual Sunday downtime look. I'm wearing one of my favorite tees that I spotted at Target back in November for 5 bucks. It goes with everything and the color is gorgeous. My jean jacket is nearly 10 years old, I got it for my 12th birthday. When I was younger I could never figure out what to wear it with, now I'm happy I have it!
I know the look may not be original or fabulous, but to me it's my perfect casual look.

Vintage Levi's, H&M polka dot top, Charlotte Russe blazer, and Aldo Mignogna wedges.

I picked up these vintage Levi's at Salvation Army last month and have been in love with them ever since. My boyfriend hates when I wear them, he says they're "mom jeans." I totally disagree, there's nothing like the fit of old Levi's!

PS for our 3 year anniversary my boy got me a beautiful bracelet I'll have to share on my next post!
XOXO,

Vintage blouse, Erin Fetherston for Target skinnies, and Aldo Segura platforms.

My boy and I were out taking a walk to see the giant moon when we decided to mess around with the camera. Actually, when were inside snapping some shots a girl in one of the apartments yelled "There's something flashing in the hall!" Embarrassed we ran outside.
I wore this outfit out to lunch with my Momma, but then had to change when I went out for the night. Unfortunately, I didn't get any shots of that outfit.
I'm totally in love with this button up that I got for $2 at Salvation Army, it's definitely from the 80's. You can't tell from the photos, but the collar is pleated and so romantic! It was nice to inject some color back into what I've been wearing.

Well I'm off to bed, I have to prepare for my three year anniversary with the boy!

Random shirt, Charlotte Russe herringbone shorts, Target cardigan and tights, Salvatore Ferragamo flats.

Life has been a blur since coming home from New York City, I miss it. This round of photos was from Sunday and I can't believe it's Wednesday already. I wore this outfit out to brunch with my boy and a crazy hobo stopped me to tell me how lovely my outfit was. Interesting experience.

Also, I scored this amazing pair of vintage Ferragamo flats on Ebay last week. They went for $10 because of a small scuff on the front, you can barely see it. I haven't taken them off since they arrived in the mail! Ferragamo use to make shoes for Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, I feel like I'm wearing a piece of history.

I hope everyone is having a lovely week!

Vintage skirt, Charlotte Russe moto jacket, Target tights, and flats from TJ Maxx.

Here are a few shots from outside my hotel in New York City. Even though I only stayed one night, I am completely enchanted with the city. I'm dying to move there!
I was happy to see that many people had a great sense of style. What a beautiful city!

Thrifted checkered shirt, Forever 21 tee, H&M skirt and Icing sunglasses.

I'm posting quick before I head off to NYC for the first time! I'm so excited! I picked up this checkered shirt for $1.50 at Salvation Army and I'm loving it. My boyfriend really hates it though.

I got this beautiful cup awhile ago for 75 cents at a thrift store, it's royal bone china!

Lastly, I finally put up the bulletin board I've had since July!

I'm getting ready to jet, hopefully I'll have some posts up from NYC!
