Today is Going to be a Good Good Day!




Hello there, 

Earlier today I decided that it was going to be good good day. I hardly ever do that. You know talking positively and all that good mantra. Anyway...So on my way back home from work I had a car accident. Yes my FIRST ever!!! I won't go into details, but I'm so glad nobody got hurt. Except of course my poor Beany (yes I named my car, its silly I know). It was more like a fender bender. Both cars were not greatly damaged, but I sure did get scared.

So much for declaring good things into my life. Honestly, I think that it was a good day, because things could have been worst. 

 What are you grateful for today?

Thrifty Thursday


Hello!!!!
 I can't believe we are already in the month of October. Where is the time going?? It has been quite a while since my last Thrifty Thursday post. You can tell I'm back in school since that leaves me with no time to be jumping from thrift store to thrift store. It consumes my time and my wallet (<---school). 

Well today I was able to pay a visit to two of my favorite thrift stores. Sadly, I did find a lot of fun vintage clothes, but in a way that was good because I'm broke. Anyway this is what I did find: 




The sweater guard clips were $10.99. They were way off my budget, but I really liked them. Plus I hardly ever find them at the thrift stores and they are super pricey online.





How cute are these chair pins? Each one was $0.90. I bought them because they remind me so much of my in-laws. Why? because they work reupholstering vintage furniture.

                       

 ....And a pretty vintage red dress. This was $3.60. I can't wait to wear it.

That is all. Enjoy your weekend!!!

Instagraming

It has been a busy week full of instagraming. I'm an addict. It would be awesome if I could print all of my photos. But that would be expensive. Here are some pics that I took this week and maybe last:
My attempt to a braided up do. I was hoping it would be higher but I actually liked how it turned out. 

Here is picture of what I wore to school on Wednesday. Granny Diana came out to play. Haha! I love wearing slouchy sweaters. They are so comfy and they keep me warm on my train rides to school. Everything I'm wearing here is thrifted.  

 So, I thrifted this skirt on Tuesday and I'm trying to figure out how I would wear it. I'm still not sure how this would look on. I will also try to pair the skirt with a lace blouse and a blazer. Its so much fun when each piece has a different texture.
 Some pretty neat collar dresses and blouse I thrifted last week. I love the yellow one!! They all need minor alterations so I'm hoping I will finish them before the fall ends.
This is a super cute and large bow brooch I thrifted this Tuesday. I adore large brooches there is just so many ways to wear them. They can really change your look. 

So yeah I have to get back to packing. This weekend I will be going on a camping trip with my husband and church members. I'm super stoked since I have never gone camping. I bought some marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate for smores! What are you planning for this weekend?

Xx
