My Thrifted Living Room Wall Collage.

I was recently inspired by my sweet neighbor Nikki to spruce up my walls a bit. I had just rearranged the furniture in the living room and had a big blank wall just sitting there staring at me, so I high-tailed it to the thrift store!

I found the large center piece first and then just kind of threw some random things up around it all haphazard-like.




I love how it all turned out! Here's some close up shots of the smaller pieces:











I love how it's a perfect combo of girly and manly things. :)

I got some of these pieces just last night after returning home with the most amazing thrift store bounty I've possibly ever stumbled upon in my life:


This was seriously only about 1/3 of the stuff I actually wanted to buy, but we're on this kooky thing called a "budget" so I refrained. hehe. There was a whole RACK full of new-ish Baby GAP clothes like this for $1.50 each. CRAZY!

I wish thrift store shopping could be a career. I could seriously do it EVERY SINGLE DAY. haha.

hi moose-goose!

Spring Fashion Week- Saturday!

Dress- Vintage thrifted
Cropped Jean Jacket- Thrifted
Gray Tights & Flats- same as every other day, haha.

Tomorrow is the last day of our Spring Fashion Week, but do not fret! There are fun things on the horizon still! First of all, I will be announcing the winner of the $100 ModCloth gift card sometime early next week-- Monday or Tuesday. Secondly, you always have next season to look forward to! Summer is not too far off, and we will do another Fashion Round-Up once it comes.

Oh, and one more question...



Whose child could this possibly be? SURELY not mine. Where on EARTH would he learn to strike a pose like that??

Ahahahah what a goober. A mini-me through and through. ;)

Until tomorrow, lovelies! I've got to get back to BOILING EGGS.

Spring Fashion Week- Friday!

Boohooo!

Tights- Target
Ballet Flats- GAP

Some have asked, so here are my fashion tips, in short ohdearlord make it stop:

•Dress in a way that makes you feel good. Don't be afraid to experiment until you find things that do.

•Do not waste one more moment of your life worrying about what other people think about what you are wearing.

•Only buy things that make you say "WOW!!" when you try them on. That way, anything you grab out of your closet will make you say "WOW" when you put it on. Why bother cluttering up your space with wow-less pieces?

•Have FUN with your style. Blending in with everyone else is boooooring. :)

•Find people whose style you like, and try to re-create it with what you've got! (Or head to a thrift store with their style in the forefront of your mind.) Try to keep your eyes on the people who avoid the latest 'flash-in-the-pan' trends. Personal style is not something that should change with every magazine issue that hits the stands.

•Buy versatile pieces that can be worn in many ways.

•Dark tights are your friends.

•Cute hats are your friends.

•Don't over accessorize! Understated is always better than overstated. (ALWAYS!)

•Lastly, remember that when you feel good in what you're wearing, you'll almost forget what it is that you are wearing. And then? You will look gorgeous!! When people look uncomfortable in what they are wearing, they don't look good. They just look... uncomfortable. That's the worst.

So... what are you wearing this fine Friday?

Spring Fashion Week- Wednesday!

Consider me inspired. By YOU!!




This dress is a new favorite of mine because it is easy and colorful! I bought it at a thrift store recently and it had a really long skirt on it, so, as I always do, I cut it shorter. Somehow I ended up cutting it much shorter than I wanted, though, and it was no longer a dress, but more like a long blouse. I was pretty bummed until I started playing with it and pairing it with shorts and skirts and leggings. Now, I think I like the short length more than if I had kept it longer! Hooray!

It's more versatile this way! Or something!



Here's a view of the pretty sleeves.



It has a super cute print: little black branches with turquoise berries and tiny white leaves on it. Me loves.

I never ever wore pink until just recently. I thought it washed me out too badly. But, I find myself loving it all of the sudden! So strange. Maybe I'm finally growing out of my tomboy stage. ahaha.

Blouse- vintage Lady Carol of New York, thrifted
Cardigan- Vintage thrifted
Gray Shorts- Charlotte Russe? I think?
