This dress is one my scores from my thrifting on Wednesday.
When I first saw it I was SO excited about the brand…
but then I kinda died over the drop waist and the slouchy sleeves.
It’s a tad big for me, but I’ll deal since it’s so freaking cute.
Plus, it’s the most comfy thing ever and it will be the perfect thing when I am having a “fat day.”
Anyway….back to my thrifting this week…
I can’t believe how much I walked away with and the best part is,
I only spent $30!!!
Got another adorable vintage dress with the most amazing buttons, like, ever.
Two pairs of pants…
one pair of black pinstripe Gap stretch ones that feel like buttah,
and the other, an adorable pair of striped denim jeans from Banana Republic.
{Looks cuter than they sound.}
Then, I scored TWO fab purses for $1.50 each,
and an adorable pair of white shoes with the most amazing cork heels ever…um brand new too.
Ooh, and then there was the way ADORABLE tunic from Coldwater Creek with the original $109 price tag still attached.
Love.
{not my usual brand to love, but still it was too cute!}
And then added to all that were a couple of other cute lil tops that needed to be mine.
I mean….
Could you die?
Now you see why I keep this place a secret.
I’ll try to take more pictures of everything to show you guys later.
And this weekend I will even try to take pictures of the clothes for sale.

On a non-related note….
We got fingerprinted yesterday to start the process for fostering that little boy I mentioned.
Actually, we got to see him when we went in, and you guys…I almost broke down.
He was so sullen and quiet, and you could tell he was a little scared.
Immediately he and Tay started playing and at one point a toy broke, so Taylor told him it was okay, that maybe his dad could fix it.
And then the little guy looked at Taylor and said,
“I don’t have a dad.”
And Taylor replied….
“You don’t? That’s so sad.”
Jimmy and I looked at each other and almost burst into tears right there.
Later, when we were praying before bed this was Taylor’s prayer:
“Dear Jesus, I just pray that (boys name) would come and live with us,
and if he doesn’t that he could live in a good home,
just like we have.”
I know, tears, right?
So, I am begging for your prayers over this situation still.
It looks pretty promising that he could end up here,
though nothing is for sure…
but now that I’ve seen him again,
I am even more in a rush to have him here with us.
Pray for an expedited process….
I believe in the power of prayer.
And I know this little guy is COVERED.
Ya, so fashion and sad story.
How about that for a fashion friday post?

I love thrifting! Just today I got a Banana Republic “off the shoulder” shirt for only $2! It’s super cute 🙂
a) that tunic/boots combo makes you look so tall and thin!!!
b) i cried reading about Tay and his prayers. just the sweetest boy ever that you’re raising over there. praying so hard about this situation.
praying for you even though i dont pray. this boy deserves to be with people who love him and will treat him well.
my brothers and i were in a foster system and we went to my uncle. he was family but didnt really care for us the right way. at least this boy will be placed in a loving home.
I love the fact that not only are you incredibly fashionable but you don’t spend insane amounts of money on clothes and you thrift! Love fashion Friday, its one of the highlights of the end of my week!
I will definitely keep this in my prayers! Love the outfit! You got alot of great deals. I don’t think our thift store has such nice things. You must be lucky. 🙂

I really like that bracelet, Summer, and it’s totally not my style, but I think I could rock it!
Oh, my heart is praying so hard for that little boy, especially since he and Taylor seem to get along really well. What a great mom you are to raise such a sensitive, caring boy! That little boy deserves a home with you and your family.
That purse is amazing!!! Love love love it:-)
And best of luck on the foster child thing! I totally commend you on this girly:-)

i truly hope you end up fostering that boy. it sounds like your family is the perfect, loving family for him.
Oh wow, praying for him now. And starting to think about others around here…
first of all, i love that you are possibly fostering this little soul. what an amazing lady and gent!
