Back to Basics

My weekends have become days to lay around and wait for my shift at work to begin. Since I didn't start until the evening I asked my mom if we could do something today. I really just wanted to go thrifting, but I left it open for interpretation so that way she'd be happier doing what she wanted than what I wanted. So we went and checked out a little shopping center we've never been to and I got a couple of really cute things that I'm sure I'll style very soon.

This is the outfit I shopped in. I've been very into basics lately so I thought I'd pair this tank shorts that I've never worn before with the crochet cardigan I'm currently living in. I just love how slouchy and comfy it is!

Black Tank: Eco-thrift, $1

p.s. I'm working on a better background for pictures. I wish I just had a photographer boyfriend or best friend to take pictures of me, but until then its just me, my tripod, and my camera on self-timer.

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

mental health day

Today I am taking a bit of a mental health day. The past few days I've started to get stressed out with due dates that are all falling on the same week and all the weekends before that I am out of town. Since school seems to be less and less eventful I decided to get a head start on some of those things and do some things of my own today instead. These things include a blog post (check!), cleaning my room, reading, laying out, finishing my anatomy packet, and doing some research for a project. Hopefully I will be able to accomplish all of this today. Fingers Crossed!

Now for my outfit. This is what I put on for school before I decided to stay home. This is my second outfit with these bootcut jeans. Let me know what you think! Until my next post, Elyse.
