Thrifty Treasures!

Here I am, emerging from my cocoon of work to share with y'all (I use Y'all as a loose term-I know there's only three people reading this, ha!) my most recent thrifting adventure finds! These are from a couple weeks ago and over a couple of trips. I've worn some of them in outfits already, and I'm sure they'll be making a bunch more appearances in What I Wore Wednesdays.

I got these shoes from Value Village-- I think they'll be just perfect for spring and summer with dresses!

This isn't my own picture, but I found one at Value Village! $2! I love FredFlare stuff so this was a major score!

This flowy polka dotted shirt was also a thrilling find. Please ignore the basketball hoop in the background, I recently rearranged my whole room and have lost my posing corner! Plus it was an obscenely nice day so I figured I should take some pictures outside. I will find a new location sooon.


... I had to move inside because just as I took that last picture, my roommate's huskey came barreling at me and got me all muddy :(

I found this yellow flowery top from a consignment store and think it'll look great with shorts this summer!


I found these glasses...


...I haven't worn them out in public yet, but I just thought they were tooo cute!

And finally, this lacy top from Value Village-


Whoa. That was an image heavy post. I really have a huge itch to go thrifting right now, but I have too much to do to justify going shopping again. I have a Value Village coupon for April, so I have promised myself to go again then.

Siiigggh.

I have a problem. A thrifting problem.

Paid 24.99

So, apparently, if you force yourself to blog everyday for five days, day six without blogging feels horrifyingly incomplete. What have I got myself into? School will get busier, so everyday blogging will not go on forever, but until then...the "can't stop" in our blog name refers to my incessant blogging habits.

I had to go find a pilot costume for work for my shift tonight (don't ask) and OF COURSE I stumbled out with more than a few gems.

For example,

An adorable blazer I got from the little boys section, complete with a little badge from the elementary school-I'm not sure if I'm going to pull the shoulder pads out or not, usually I'd have to, but this is fitted and small enough that I can almost get away with it!
Now, I don't reeeaaally need an apron (I already have two adorable ones I hardly ever use) but I simply could not leave this one behind. This picture doesn't completely do it justice... the two circles are really deep pockets and it's all hand stitched! I'm sure I'll start using aprons one day...when I stop being such a mess in the kitchen!
Adorable felt hat!

I have wanted one like this for ages!

Remember this sweater. It will reappear in this space in an entirely different way.

And finally, the reason I made the excursion to the thrift shop- my pilot costume! There wasn't really anything in the way of commercial pilot outfit, so I settled for a boys scout uniform, which was a surprise hit! My coworkers and I agreed that I was more of a fighter pilot than commercial pilot-- this outfit was made complete with a pilot hat and gold aviators. I looked great!

Okay, that was fun. I got to show off my new stuff and practice posing in my modelling corner for What I Wore Wednesday (which I am so so so excited about!) I guess I'll be here again tomorrow? We'll see.
