I Got $20 in my Pocket...

So yes, I went thrift shopping!! And I actually did only spend $20! I was looking forward to today all weekend!!! It was a great start to my spring break week! So, I went to the mall with my sister Laura of Princess in Mudboots in the morning. But, I didn't buy anything because I knew I'd be going thrift shopping in the evening with some of my friends from Navs (the on-campus Bible study I'm involved in).

We all met at the Goodwill in Akron around 4PM.  Here's some of the awesome stuff we found:

Some awesome red boots--Ted Mosby approved.

Here's my friend Rachel (you know her better as my photographer R. Parker) modeling some awesome shoes. She didn't buy them because they were a little squishy in the toes. I didn't buy them 'cause I already have a pair very similar.

We all loved the pattern on this jacket, but it was just too big and didn't look good as an oversized piece.

This shirt looked so cool, but was too small for anyone. Seriously, I never would have tried this on, but Rachel finds the coolest stuff in thrift stores! Oh wait...then I found this...

I seriously just wanted this dress to have as a costume! It's sooo cool!!! And it made me feel like a princess lol

I'm at my parent's house now and I don't have all the stuff that I thrifted with me, but I'll get pictures of that stuff up after Easter. Anyways, after we spent hours in Goodwill, Amanda (another friend from Navs) suggested that we go to the Village Discount Outlet right down the road. We didn't spend as long there, but I did find this amazing hat. And it reminded me of this.

I didn't end up buying the hat, but I've always wanted a big hat like that and I always wondered what it would look like an me. So, it was good that I got to try it on. I'm thinking I'll eventually buy one now that I know I like it. 

After thrifting we ate at Arby's then went to Amanda's house to watch Mrs. Doubtfire. Awesome night :) Anyways, here's some pictures of the outfit I wore.

Sweater - Thrifted // Jeans - Old Navy // Flats - Target // Earrings - Purchased at a market in China (it sounds so much better than "Made in China" 'cause I was actually there and I bought those earrings...) // Bracelet - A craft store // Rings - Thrifted

Well, that was a long post! Anyways, I will get pictures of my thrifted stuff up as soon as I go back to my house after spring break. I know school's schedules are all different, but how was your spring break? And do you think I can pull off a hat that huge?

Valentine's Day ... in March

Shirt - Wet Seal // Blazer - Mossimo // Jeans - Buffalo Jeans // Flats - Claire's // Earrings - Handmade in China // Bracelet - Handmade in Thailand // Rings - Thrifted

Normally I like to have all my outfits picked out a week ahead of time. But if I don't do that, I at least pick the outfit out the night before. This week I think I've only worn one of my planned outfits (that would be yesterday's outfit). The rest of the week I'd pick out an outfit and then change my mind the next morning. This morning I had at least three different outfits picked out before I ended up wearing something completely different this morning. I ended up with this outfit--it's the outfit I wore on Valentine's Day and I was just in the mood to wear it when I woke up!

So, I had a fun Friday! After classes my friends and I played giant Jenga again! Later in the day I had dinner with the Navs and watched The Incredibles. All in all, it was a great end to the week!
