What I’m wearing:
dress: lapis, thrifted
socks: tj maxx
boots: charlotte russe, and can you believe they are about 2 sizes too big? I didn’t even care, I was so in love that I bought them anyway and stuffed them with insoles. And now we go together like…um, socks and shoes?
watch: brass plum
ring: f21, bestie ring from this sweet lil gal
bracelet: twisted silver
sunnies: mmm, possibly f21, but I can’t be sure.
all that hill behind me? mine…all mine.
So, another amazing thing about my house?
I’m even closer to my thrift stores.
Sa-woon right?!?
{jimmy doesn’t think so}
And so last week on my way home from dropping Tay off at school, I decided to visit my friendly neighborhood gem….ya know, just to say hey.
I wasn’t going to buy a thing, as Jimmy and I SWORE we wouldn’t buy anything for ourselves or for the house….it’s just…
It’s just that this cute lil 60’s of a dress was calling out my name, and since I’ve been eating everything in sight since the move, the mumu factor of it was to. die. for.
And so I plopped down the $3.50 and made the beauty mine. Okay, so it was actually $4.50 because I discovered a Missoni sweater in Chloe’s size….and what 2 year old doesn’t need a Missoni sweater?
Chloe put that baby on so fast and grinned from ear to ear…she knows fashion, that girl.
And that is story I’m sticking to as to why on earth I broke my oath and spent $14.50 at the thrift store.
{okay yes $14.50….although I can’t remember at the moment what else came home with me. Whatever it was, I must have needed it so. Obvy!}
Oh wait. I remember.
It was a vintage mirror that will soon reside beside our bed.
After it’s makeover.
Yup just one more thing to add to the project list….
