blouse: thrifted, jeans/wedges/belt: Target, earrings: Old Navy
I’ve been waiting to wear this blouse since I got it on our thrifting trip in Commerce. It’s oversized, silky, and comfortable. Unless it’s worn with a belt or some bright pants it looks like a scrub top, though! Just so you know, I wore pointed flats to school and just popped on these wedges to take pictures. I nearly rolled my ankle walking out back. Could I be any more awkward?
This is my sister’s apartment! She ended up getting it by herself after a little incident with the other bedroom which you can read about here. Those limbs in the corner with the sparkle lights on it are from my parents willow tree in their backyard. The owls and lamps were thrifted and we put thrifted vases from my wedding in her big window sill. On the table sits her beta fish, Lewis. The shelves are $16 Target shelves that she put her microwave, silverware, and pots and pans in because it’s near the sink and two burners. The shelves also keep her books, cameras, and DIY silver owl. Her fridge keeps her homemade magnets and important reminders. The cork squares are from Hobby Lobby where she pinned up her favorite pictures of friends and family! The circle garland was made by her from a Pinterest project. Pretty neat, huh?
What do you think? Second part later today!
It’s been a while since I’ve posted one of these! I just wanted to share a few things I’ve come across that I thought to be pretty/would look great in our home/on me. (Too many slashes?) You know, my birthday is coming up in a few weeks…
One: Dorothy Perkins Leopard Scarf, $17
Two: Fresh eau de Parfum Sugar Lemon, $24.95
Three: Selma Sneaker, $24.99
Four: Cow Skull Mosaic Mirror, $145
Five: Merona Boyfriend Watch, $14.99
I’ve probably wanted a leopard scarf for a year and a half now and haven’t ponied up the $15 to buy one. There’s a really great one at Target right now. Long and full! Don’t miss out on it! I think leopard goes with everything! And I know what you’re thinking. Those sneaker wedges are like, what, so 1995? Well, I used to absolutely HATE them. Until I saw two pretty stylish ladies wearing them. And they’re black. Instead of white with laces… *cringe* Also, I’ve been really wanting a cow skull. SO. BAD. Problem is, all the ones I find are too expensive for me. Anyone have a dead cow? Much obliged.
Here are some of the gems I’ve picked up lately. I don’t shop all that often since we’re saving a lot right now. But it seems like when I do I find some pretty good stuff!
Top to bottom: Old Navy ruffle tank, brand new Old Navy flats, floral and leather weekender bag (my favorite find! $2!), chevron sheets that will be made into curtains, and an accordion coat rack.
What are some things you’ve thrifted lately?
You’d think in the four years we’ve been together we’d have played some putt-putt already. Well, think again. Putt-putt on labor day was the cheapest, most relaxing thing we could have done. Besides see a movie. Course that would have also been air conditioned. And required no walking. But I’d spend $15 for some crappy golf over $50 for a crappy movie any day. Plus the movies don’t have giant replicas of safari animals.
And because I’m immature:
No YOU are.
tee: Target, jeans/sandals: Old Navy, bag: Forever21
Our labor day was less than stellar. We spent last Friday and Saturday moving furniture and hanging things everywhere and just giving the ol’ house a heave ho. Sunday was spent with my family so Monday was going to be our day. Jason spent most of the morning and early afternoon at the school, (even though the school was closed. don’t even get me started.) and when he got home he worked on updating his office that we rearranged. We finally got around to planning our date and getting ready later in the day. I took Pepper back to our room while I got ready and the next thing I know there’s a puddle on our freshly washed sheets. Stunned, I stripped our bed and started the wash. Over an hour later I was finally ready to go. It was just one of those times when I couldn’t find a thing to wear. Toosmalltoobigtoofancytoocasualthat’snotcleanwhydon’tIhaveblackheelswhereismy blacktankIdon’tevenhaveasimpleblacktee? kind of days. So after a dozen outfit changes I just threw on a tee and jeans. No fuss.
And wouldn’t you know it? Labor day is over. Jason’s back to work and I’m back to class tomorrow. It just seems that these weekends fly by so fast. It makes me sick. But at least I had a day with my sweet! Hope things slow down really soon. I miss that guy.
