Oh, I may also include tidbits of my boring life. I apologize in advance.
OH SO THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT.
Spotted this pair of Steve Madden heels at Goodwill. I love how there is small band of patent leather that livens up the pair of black pumps!
Spotted this vintage coat at Goodwill last week. How fabulous is it? It is in gorgeous condition. It gives off a granny feel but at the same time, with the right styling it can be quite modern!
Spotted this gold toned dress at Goodwill last week. It still has its original tags! Looking for a dress for a special occasion? I recommend stopping by your local thrift store/Goodwill!
It’s a bit embarrassing when you look at old photos of special events and it turns out you wore the same dress/outfit!
Special event outfits can get mighty expensive. This is when thrift stores/Goodwill is the solution! After the event, you can revamp the outfit, wear it a few more times, and then you can donate it back!
Spotted this simple black dress at Goodwill last week. It would have been 50% off since its tag was the color of the week. The seams make it such an interesting little black dress!
Cell Phone Strap as wrist strap was a success!
The blue side trim nearly matches also! My [bigass] phone is able to fit in it nicely plus there is room to stuff money/ID/cards & chapstick!
Despite what bestbuy.com says, I went to another location to find the second season. I also price matched it with Target and got it for $22.49.
Who just got a request from the special crafts department to knit a special hat?
ME!
I am honored they even asked me!
You can tell that one of these guys are much more happier/ excited about doing this than the other lol
Will being Will.

You know how we complain about bag of chips being half air? Well, I was about to tear open my small peas snack and I realize it was completely air!!!
I’m looking to rent a relatively cheap stall to sell some clothes and things at, I’ve accumulated far too much and a lot of it is too nice to give away, so I’m looking into markets and vintage fleas and such. I know about the Grand Social one, what others are there?
Help a fellow thrift shopper out! Share the knowledge!

- Dooney and Bourke Cell Phone Strap: $6.99
I was able to buy this at TJMAXX yesterday! The reason I bought this was to use it as a strap for my thrifted Dooney and Bourke wristlet!
Spotted these Top-Sider Sperry shoes at the thrift store today. Sadly they were a size 6.5. They are a bit too loose for my liking. RAWR.
So, I paint my nails pretty regularly these days. I also work as a barista/cashier pretty regularly these days. A few weeks back, I had a customer come in, a fairly typical, sheltered, suburban soccer mom, and she ordered a latte from me. She saw my brightly colored nails and said, “Wow, you’re so brave! My son asked me about painting his nails, and if it’s okay for boys to do that. Now I’ll tell him there’s a cool guy who does it too!” It was a nice moment, very cute.
Then, last week, she came in again, and said, “Hey, I’m so glad you’re here! I want you to meet someone!” She then brings her son forward, and says, “Okay sweetie, show him what you did!” And he throws his hands up, showing off his bright, sparkling blue nails. He shows them off, and I show mine off to him. He smiles. We fist bump.
Guys, I’ve only wanted to cry once at work before, and that was when someone ordered a large dry soy cappuccino on ice.
This time, though. This was a good cry.
