Thrift Genius!

Oh, hey. This is easy summer wear. White tee, full skirt (really an empire waisted dress), cute and comfy heels. Oh, and completely unstyled hair. 100 percent unheat-treated, or anything. Okay, so a little bit of Frizz Ease, but come on! It didn't even really work. haha. Freakin humidity is a killer, guys. Er, ladies? At work is is forbidden to call a table of people, "guys". Women, apparently, are very offended by the use of that term. I had never really thought about it before. Being my age that's just how you're used to referring to people. But I don't really want to be called a guy either. So I guess they kind of have a point.

Oh, you wanted to know about my clothes, huh? haha. Uhm, I thrifted the dress and the shoes. Both VERY exciting finds. I loved the print and colors of the dress, but I don't do so well with empire waists, or babydoll dresses or whatever. So I had the brilliant idea to just cover that part up. With the most basic shirt I could find. haha. Whatever. I like it.

And the shoes? I am never able to find COOL shoes that actually fit me in thrift stores. My feet are too damn big. All the good shoes seem to be anywhere from a 5 to a 7. Like if your feet are any bigger than that, they can't pull off a cute shoe. Sheesh. I've worn size 9 since I can remember. I'm also pretty sure I've been 5'9" since 7th grade. haha. Talk about an awkward girl. Which is part of why I barely wear heels, anyway. I feel like I'm too tall. But I'm slowly getting more comfortable in them. I'm just not used to walking in them, so it's been an experience. hahah.

Shirt- Threads for Thought via Marshall's ($8!)/Dress- Thrifted ($4.50!)/Shoes- Thrifted ($6!)/Belt- Thrifted ($1!)/Beaded bracelet- Thrifted ($2!)

Holy crap. 4/5 items in my outfit where thrifted. Bringing the total to $21.50.

An entire outfit under THIRTY dollars, y'all. That's what I'm talkin about. :D

And now, because I no longer want to be called a "guy". My most lady-like curtsy. :]
See ya next time!

Maybe I can be a Presidente, Spread Love Around the Country..

I just realized I kind of blend into my background. haha. Maybe my title should have had something to do with a chameleon, instead of being a lyric from my favorite song of the moment (May I Bum a Smoke by Socratic). Or it could have been.. Karma Karma Karma Chameleon. Then, it would have still been a song lyric, and karma makes me think of Hippies, which tie-dye also makes me think of. But I tried to steer clear of the hippie look today, although I do love it. Maybe I'll go more literal next time. Who knows.

So, here is my first debut of some of my new jewelry. The necklace I love, because it's a bunch of charms all smushed together, and they happen to be some of my favorite things; sparrows, hearts, lockets, etc. Then the gold bangles are part of a set that has pastel colored ones also, but I picked out just the gold ones to wear today.

I also just realized that other than my belt, and sunglasses, everything I'm wearing today is actually new to my blog! Hurrah! The sweet little flat espadrilles I got on sale from Kohl's for 3 bucks. When I got them home, I put them on for about five minutes, then my feet started killing me, and I realized why they must have been that cheap. But I've been breaking them in, and finally have begun to wear them outside of the house without foot cramps. Great success!

Also, random note: I absolutely cannot wait until I have a better camera, and I'm sure you can't either. hah. Also, also: I should probably find a shadier spot to take pictures at 3 in the afternoon. Sorry it's so bright! I did try to fix them a little, though.

Dress: Ross? I can't even remember. Sheesh., Shoes: Candies via Kohl's $3!, Belt: Goodwill $1!, Jewelry: Forever 21. Both pieces were probably about $6 each.

One more thing, and then I'll shut up, I promise. In case you were wondering about that snazzy nail polish color, it's called "Crushed" from Sally Hansen Hard as Nails, Extreme Wear. :] It's probably my most favorite color of nail polish I've ever owned!
