Peach Flavored

I did the big chop.. and I like it!

Button down, tank, bracelets: Old Navy
Shorts: Thrifted (Palmer's Home)
Belt: Wal-Mart
Necklace: Gift (it's a camera, love it!)

These shorts are the reason I love thrifting, well aside from the extremely cheap prices. I love anything high waisted, shorts, pants or skirts. I was so excited to stumble upon these. The pictures don't really show the true color, the top one is the closest though. The one negative I have? They wrinkle SO easily.. :/

Me and my friends are planning to start a blog together for the fall... I'm the only one who's familiar with blogger and none of them really know how to work my camera so we'll see. lol.. Speaking of my friends, we stopped by Bakers & Aldo Wednesday and I almost broke down in tears. Every shoe I saw in Bakers I want. Their wedges are EVERYTHING...


I wanted to show the blazer I thrifted yesterday.. it's royal blue. *squeals* and I love the little buttons.. for only $4! I can't wait to wear it with tights, skinnies, skirts, etc.. Bring on the fall weather! Okay, I'm moving too fast, I know.

If you're reading this, hope you have a great weekend!

New thrift Queen in town.. (8)

I went thrifting today... Not my first time but today was exciting for me. I've fallen in love with fashion so lately I haven't been into buying things just because they're pretty to me. I've been on the search for certain pieces.... like blazers. Lort, I've been searching for the perfect blazers for about a year or two now. Today I went to the Salvation Army and Palmer's Home thrift stores. I bought 2 blazers at both stores, yellow & a blue printed one at SA and a pink and blue one from PH. I also bought 2 dresses from the SA and my total was less than $20.. The two blazers from Palmer's Home were both $2... I was amazed considering the blazers I've seen/wanted online have all been over $50, some even $200+. I also bought a new Maxi dress today from Treasure Mart and it was only $7... Yes, I am excited!

I was doing good up until I went to Old Navy... Didn't buy any clothes but I bought 2 necklaces and a bracelet... all 3 cost more than my thrift finds. blah.

Anyway, my outlook on shopping has completely changed... I will be thrifting a lot!
