goodbye.

Yesterday was the last day I spent with these 5 amazing people until Thanksgiving. We're all going to college and its crazy to think I won't be seeing them every single day at school anymore. We've had so many laughs and so many deep conversations together that I will never forget. I love each and every one of them with all of my heart.

The following is what I wore to have lunch with them. The outfit idea had been sitting in my head for a couple days so I finally threw it on. The morning was pretty cold so I added a jacket to it as well. Until my next post, Elyse.

white detailed tunic: eco-thrift, $4

black dress: target, $12

army green anorak: forever 21, $32

red bag: forever 21, $15

black braided belt: eco-thrift, $3

Eco-thrift haul #3

Here is yet again another thrift haul. Thrifting is just my favorite way to build my wardrobe because I'm trying to save money. I went this past Saturday with my sister and my mom and we ended up finding a lot of great stuff. My sister got really lucky finding designer dress pants for work that actually fit her perfectly (she's practically a zero if not smaller) and some Steve Madden shoes. I found a bunch of stuff too, just not as great of quality as she did.
My favorite things I found were the Gloria Vanderbilt Aloha shirt because I've been looking for one for awhile, the crochet skirt just because it's beautiful, and the cowboy dress because it's one of those crazy finds. Until my next post, Elyse.

white eyelet peasant shirt: Charter Club, $2

black and gold paisley print shirt: Sarah Lawrence, $2

white crochet detailed tank: Mossimo, $1

teal fitted crop top: no brand, $1

aloha shirt: Gloria Vanderbilt, $3

brown crochet mini skirt: Limelight, $3

cream/brown short-sleeve sweater: Laura Scott, $2

red/yellow striped dress: no brand, $3

cowboy printed maxi dress: Desert West, $7

9 items for $24

eco-thrift haul #2

I have not gone shopping with money in my wallet in over a month and a half. For most normal people that doesn't seem like much, or even anything to complain about. But for me, thats a very long time. I have been extremely uninspired by the clothes in my closet and I haven't actually put together an outfit I'm proud of in a long time (hence the lack of OOTD posts). Since today was my first free Saturday in the past 2 months I went to my favorite thrift store in hopes of leaving with some items that would make me excited to get dressed in the morning. Although I didn't get as much as I hoped I'm very happy with what I did get. I tried on the two skirts I bought and was trying to decide which one I should leave behind because I didn't see the point in buying two of the same skirts in different colors. Then I looked at the tag and saw American Apparel. The skirt retails at $30 a piece, so since it was only $2 I got both. Unfortunately though, I left a lot of corduroy pants behind that didn't fit me. But I did find 2 dollars in the pocket of a pair of pants I tried on! Until my next post, Elyse.
