What I Wore: It's A Wild Ride.

Ya gotta love a vintage dress featuring various vegetables and other interesting patterns! I feel like I am channeling Ms. Frizzle from the Magic School bus and I love it! I purchased this dress, last year, whilst thrifting at Goodwill and thankfully, I can wander into the little girls' section and fit the dresses. Probably due to the fact I'm only 5"0 foot tall! Huh ironic, I should have probably ate my veggies after all.. :p 
This dress was hanging there and I immediately picked it up, tried it on and it fit perfectly! Though originally, it did have long sleeves which I cut off as well as an attached fabric belt which I also cut off. Nevertheless, this dress is a dreamboat and it's defintely one of my favorite and super fun to wear vintage dresses that I own!

What I Wore: Hello Autumn!

Such a happy gal I am, now that it is officially Autumn! This dress, I purchased whilst thrifting with Cece on her birthday, I came across this golden number and thought it felt perfect for fall. I adore floral quite a lot, so that I am elated I can wear it different versions of it throughout the seasons. It's a quite comfy piece and if it ever becomes a bit chillier here, I can layer it with a cardigan or wear it entirely with tights! I chose the burgundy boots for a bit of pop, which the color is very lightly represented in the dress as well as the knee high socks in a tan/cream color instead of a dark grey or black color. Now to enjoy salted caramel everything!

What We Wore: A Merry Birthday!

On this past Sunday, Cece and I celebrated her birthday, by having the ridiculously amazing pumpkin muffins from Dunkin Donuts and we also went thrifting. 8 years of celebrating each others' birthday, this little lady turned the big 25, 25 years young! It's quite crazy to see these years just fly by, so swiftly, at the blink of the eye, time is passing us by. I just have to remember to live in the moments and relish every second of good little seconds  I am given.  
We were  quite thankful it didn't rain, as we strolled from store to store browsing through antiques and trying on lots of vintage dresses! The heat definitely took the place of rain and I did not mind that (well I did a little!) Though we left a lot of great items behind, I am entirely sure we will run into more, that's for sure!
What I Wore:
romper>> platos closet/forever 21
belt>> off another dress
lacy socks>> jcpenny
boots>> soda/ross
beret>> walmart
sunglasses>> borrowed from cece
bag>> from rue 21
jean jacket>> target
ring>> shasa

A few highlights from dressing room to dressing room, to seeing 'interesting' language inscribed on the pavement to fancy schmancy chandliers in some of the thrift stores, it was a lovely time!

I hope you all have  a lovely week!

A Bit Of Life: Live For Today:

Hello there! I wanted to share a bit of my life, so here I am sharing a brief outing my fella and I went on! We decided to go out and antique browsing, although, it was pretty darn hot walking around, (it's Texas so I mean big surprise lol) and I took some snaps on my phone and also, on my film camera which hasn't been developed yet! Here are a few shots of the outing and the super cool finds, we discovered! Oh and side note, I finished my promo video, so hopefully I will b e posting it tomorrow!

 

What I Found: Grab Bag Special.

One early Saturday morning, my friend and I, Cece woke up super duper early, about 6:30 a.m. Yes on a Saturday morning, I repeat because its just a bit crazy, but we truly wanted to be first in line this time. This is our second time going to a grab bag and we were entirely prepared with rubber bands and all! Plato's Closet grab bag is basically what it details, how ever many sale items you can fit into a bag, the entire bag is ten dollars! This is my adventure into the world of serious bargain hunting!

Coffee always. <3

On the floor of the store attempting to keep or no keep to many of the dresses I picked up.

Crappy cell phone pic of the clothes I chose in the final bag.

Being first in line, entirely was a rush, we devised a plan and would search not only for our own items, but for each other. There's quite an adrenaline of grabbing whatever that catches your eye and knowing you can have it because the price is basically non-existent in a way. This time around we grabbed our top favorites, found a spot on the floor far from the bins full of sales and went through each and every item and rated on whether or not we should purchase them. Which is way smarter than what we did last time and we ended coming home and regretting a lot of our instinct pieces!

What I ended up purchasing:

Some of my "fancier esque" dresses.

Future diy/reconstruction dresses.

A handful of casual dresses.

One pair of shorts, skirt and a studded wide belt.

This wasn't part of the grab bag special, it wasn't on sale, but I just couldn't help myself. 18 buckaroos!!

The total amount of dresses with two plastic bags: I purchased was 26 dresses, 1 skirt, 1 pair of shorts and a studded belt!

My total was $41.13!!!! And the lowest item I purchased was 0.21 cents! Seriously!!

After all of the bargain clothes shopping we did at Plato's Closet, the following day we hit up my favorite dollar jewelry which I finally remembered the name, Glitter. Lol I have no idea how I could never remember the name of the store! Anywho, purchased a handful of items for the new addition to my overflowing closet.

With all of the purchases, I am entirely wiped out in more ways than one! Now I need to reconfigure my closet in order to fit these new dresses in there, I guess I gotta move some stuff out! Until next time, ash xx!
