Thrifting adventures!
Thrifting was soo much fun today! I always do so well shopping with my coworker,Ryann. I wish I could have taken pictures of her buys also. She did great. I spent a total of $13. Ironically, that's all I had in my wallet because they do not take credit cards. I scored a zebra figurine in a resting position(I named him Oreo), a black quilted coco chanel purse, black sheer blouse/tunic with billowy sleeves, a black romper with gold buttons and a neon pink fanny pack! YES YES YES!

5th day of shopping...I should be tired.
5th day of shopping, 2nd time at the thrift store this week. This time I went to a different thrift store and one that is closer to my house. I found more chic things today....but it wasn't as amazing as Day 1 of the thrifting. Today I grabbed a miniature stat of a hand painted half owl half cat. Don't ask. It was priced for 2.50, I also got a medieval coined pewter colored necklace for 2.99, an electric blue knit pencil skirt, and a huge satin light blue hair bow. All totaling up to $11.
I'll be adding pictures of my great finds from this whole week, tommorow.

Thrift Store Shopping Adventures
I FINALLY I made it to a thrift store 40 minutes away from my home that I have not been to in about 3 years. This whole week I've been having good shopping days- finding great bargains under $5 at Urban Outfitters, shopping with and getting to know my new coworkers, and today marks the greatest day in my thrift shopping history of great vintage finds.
I found an amazing green,red, and yellow plaid flannel shirt that I tried on top of my outfit for about $2. In which it made my outfit look ten times better. I was wearing a cobalt blue unitard with slouchy deconstructed pirate cream colored boots and a new kids on the block t-shirt. I've been looking for a great plaid men's flannel shirt forever and when I found it earlier this month, I washed it and never saw it again. On a brighter note, today I found a pale blue with a hint of silver lacy slip that is very reminiscent to slips worn in the 40s. I got that for about $3. I also found a skirt that looks very much like something in the current Marc Jacobs fall line. I will wear as a dress. It has a subtle floral print of midnight blue,forest green, and pink. It cost about $2. Totaling up to about $8 plus tax. Great deal I would say, eh?
