Thrifty girls

I really heart my outfit today and wouldn't you know, my camera battery died halfway through my photo session. Sad panda.  It was my own fault though, I knew the battery was getting low but I thought, hey maybe I can squeeze out a couple of more.  Well that's what you get today, the couple of more!  Photo quality is so/so, but I still adore how this outfit turned out.  It features two of the goodies I bought on my day off last week.  I love that this entire outfit, minus my necklace and boots is thrifted and gifted.  Thrifty girls for the win!

 Sweater - Polo Ralph Lauren, thrifted
T-shirt - Express, thrifted
Skirt - Vintage, Hill Valley
Socks - gift from Megan Mae
Boots and leggings - Target
Necklace - Maurices

Speaking of thrifty girls, I had a wonderful visit with the fantastic Amanda of Salvaged Strawberry last night.  She had a dress in her Etsy shop I'd had my eye on for ages and since she lives in my area I finally just said, hey can I come over and try it on so I know that it fits?  She was more than willing to have me over, so I headed to her place after work.  We had the most lovely chat over a beer, talking about blogging and our significant others and just life stuff.  I was sad I couldn't stay longer.  And the most important part - the dress fits me like a glove, you'll see here very soon!  I can't wait to get together with her again!  Maybe next time we'll go on a thrift adventure.


Still lots of snow on the ground.  We're bad, we didn't shovel yet.  I hear there is potentially a bigger storm coming this weekend.  That could be interesting!

Below here is a close up of my jewelry and also so you can see the pretty purple horse on my sweater.  I keep forgetting to do more detailed shots like this, I'll try to be better.  I snapped this on my iPhone since my camera died!  Have a great day!

  9. Oh, I love the layering you did here! And that bright aqua cardigan really catches the eye. It'll be a great piece to remix during warmer weather. Adorable as ever, Bethie!

  10. Love the dusty purple skirt!! I just thrifted one a couple weeks back that I've been stumped on. Is it bad to say I love the socks too? Lol! Happy to see the close ups! I've been trying to make an effort to do more of those myself.

    Congrats on the fun meet up and the dress fitting! I love when things work out well like that.
