The fashionista in me rejoices.

The secondhand stores of Fort Collins made my heart absolutely melt today.  You'll never believe what I found at Plato's Closet:


It's a plaid J. Crew miniskirt! I'm loving it's mod vibe.  


I'm thinking of pairing it with a blazer and my riding boots.  

Jumping for joy for this lovely skirt!!

And of course, we had to stop by Goodwill for some grandma sweaters and I picked up this little number: 

Although I think this qualifies as a grandpa sweater, since I found it in the men's section.  Either way, it's comfy and striped.  I love stripes.  


I LOVE thrift stores.  I'll be doing this again. 

Adieu,

Day 4, and a BRAND-NEW TOP

Tuesday, March 22, 2011 § 0

Just joshin' ya.  It's not brand-new.  It's thrifted!  I got this top at Goodwill a few weeks ago:

I felt like Spencer from Pretty Little Liars when I wore this top today (geez, I'm such a teenager).  That's a good thing! After all, whoever styles her character on the show is a goddess of fashion: 
The blazers, the hats, the oxfords...I need to recreate some of these.  

In other news, it is Day 4 in the 30 days of blogging universe, and my topic isssss (drumroll, please): 
An annoying habit I wish I didn't have. 

Stuttering if I talk too fast, tripping over my words....or when I get nervous in conversations, sometimes I'll just forget the word I was planning on using and I'll stand there with an unfinished sentence hanging in the air, or I'll stutter, trying to think of it desperately.  If worse comes to worse, I'll usually replace it with a different word, one that doesn't make sense, so I end up sounding like an idiot.  

Sometimes I just need to learn when to keep my mouth shut.  And that's my annoying habit!



A day thriftin', a rule broken.

Yes, yes I realize I broke the no-shopping rule.  I feel like it almost shouldn't count, however, since my purchase was only four dollars at the local Goodwill.

AND I did not plan to buy the top, SO THERE.  Me and the sister went thrift store hopping today in search for pieces for her upcoming school fashion show (she's a fashion merchandising major), where she will be dressing her models up as flowers, and I could not pass that excellent deal up.

Here is a little ditty I made about our day of secondhand wonderment:

And here's my TWENTIETH outfit in my 30x30! Hooray!
