Outfitted In: Rouching and Stripes!

Shirt, Shorts, Bag: All Thrifted; Pendant: Lawrence; Sandals: Amazon; Sunnies: Hello Holiday

This shirt and these shorts were thrifted this week from my local Goodwill, and I love them both! The shirt is vintage cotton, and it's so breezy on a hot summer's day. :) And the rouching on the shorts adds a fun detail.

The hubby and I had great luck thrifting yesterday (perhaps thanks to my sweet outfit?) that I can't wait to share with you guys! If you want a sneak peek, follow me on Instagram @AisAlreadyLoved because I can't resist sharing the best stuff right away!

My Thrift List

This is today's thrift list. You know the best part? I happened by Goodwill after work the other day, and I found the perfect desk chair!!! So one of my main things is already crossed off. :) Here's to hoping that luck continues!

Amanda

Outfitted In: Stripes and Sandals :)

Shirt, Pants, Bag: All Thrifted; Saltwater Sandals: Amazon

This was Sunday's outfit, for a day of baby-cuddling, HGTV-watching, and yummy food-eating. :) It was a pretty chill trip, and Sunday was a relaxed kind of day.

This outfit was church-ready in case my baby cousin felt up to it, but he had a sore throat and runny nose. Poor little guy! Luckily, these black pants are super-comfy, so it was also the perfect outfit to hang out in.

Happy Friday!!!

Always,
Amanda

Insta-Thursday: Texas Edition!

Thrifted Vintage: Texas Edition :)

Necklace & Bracelet: Salvation Army; Mesh Wallet: Goodwill

Most of my trip to Texas was spent putting in some awesome quality time with my aunt and uncle and cuddling with my baby cousin. :) We did a lot of chilling, eating great food, and watching HGTV (something I've missed a lot since ditching cable!).

But on my last day, before heading to the airport, my uncle and I got some thrifting in! We checked out two Goodwills and a Salvation Army, and I found some great things!

Above are my vintage finds- an awesome plastic necklace and glass bracelet from Salvation Army, and a mesh wallet from Goodwill. :)

The funny thing about the mesh wallet? I actually thrifted one years ago and sold it when I had my etsy shop! I always wanted to find another one, and there it was- in a Goodwill in Houston!

Always,
Amanda

I'm Back!

Above is an Instagram I took on my last flight home last night. I had such a great time in Texas, and I miss my aunt, uncle, and baby cousin SO much already! I have some thrift find photos, an outfit photo, and more Instagrams to share from my trip, so expect those the rest of the week!

Always,
Amanda

And, I'm off!

I got an exciting new camera this past week! It was on super-clearance at Target, but it's really awesome! One of the features it has is color-detection, where it automatically chooses all the reds, blues, or yellows in a photo and makes everything else black and white. :) I'm excited to have some great photos on the blog very soon! (I promise I won't over-use the cool features!)

Well, I'm off to Texas bright and early this morning to visit my aunt and uncle and meet my new baby cousin! The blog will be quiet for a couple days while I'm out of town, but be sure to follow my Texas adventures on Instagram @AisAlreadyLoved :)

 

I'll be back on Monday night, so I'll see y'all next week! Have a great weekend!

 

Always,

Amanda

Thrift Finds: Lacoste Ombre Shoes :)

Lacoste Shoes: Love of Jesus ($3)

I was pretty stoked to find these awesome Lacoste shoes for three bucks. :) I love the black and pink, and I've also been looking for them for years!

In college, I used to thrift with my friend Lindsey, and she scored a white pair of these at our local Goodwill. They didn't quite fit me, and I always wanted a pair. And bam! Eight years later, there they were, in my size, at Love of Jesus thrift in Richmond. Sometimes, thrifting is magic. :)

Always,
Amanda

Insta-Thursday

Happy Thursday! This week was full of: kitties, awesome iPhone cases, Gs, sunnies, church, gold eye makeup, Father's Day napkins, random mushrooms, coconuts, and dreamcatchers. :)

I hope everyone is having a great week!

Always,
Amanda

Thrifted Vintage: A Teeny Corn Cob Pipe :)

Tiny Corn Cob Pipe: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

The hubby collects vintage pipes, but this little guy didn't interest him. Why? It's seriously tiny! I think it's just adorable, as most very small things are. :)
Like, toilet paper? Not cute. Itty bitty dollhouse toilet paper? Cute! I understand some people won't agree with my silly logic, though.

Anyway, it's Wednesday already! I leave to visit my aunt and uncle and meet my baby cousin in Texas on Saturday, so I'm counting down to the weekend. (Even more than usual, I mean.)

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Finds: Glitter Toms!

Glitter Toms: Goodwill Outlet ($3)

Glitter Toms have been something I've searched for at the thrifts for ages. I finally gave up looking...and bam! There they were in the Goodwill bin! Don't you love when that happens?

I'm definitely not opposed to buying new Toms, especially because they have a great, giving-back business model, but I can't really afford full-price ones. Anyway, that's why I'm super glad to have found these for three bucks. Because the person who first bought them provided shoes for child in need, and when I bought these from Goodwill, it helped people looking for jobs. Win-win-win. :)

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Gold and G's

Shirt, Jeans, Bag: All Thrifted; Pendant: Lawrence; Saltwater Sandals: Amazon

This was Saturday's thrifting outfit, which is very similar to a recent outfit I wore. But hey, I changed up the necklace and my hair! So, different, right? :)

What else? Oh yeah, I sported my awesome 'G' pendant from Lawrence  that I hadn't worn in awhile. Wearing it reminded me of its awesomeness, and I went back to the Web site yesterday to look at them again. And they had an 'A'! I totally ordered it! Soon, I'll have an awesome A necklace, too. :) I love initial stuff.

We spent the rest of the weekend at my in-laws for Father's Day, which was pretty laid-back and fun. :) There was homemade food eating, front porch singing, and cigar smoking for the guys. It was a pretty good way to celebrate the holiday, although I was definitely missing my dad!


Always,
Amanda

Happy Father's Day!

You're the best, Dad! :)

 

Love, Amanda

My Thrift List

Here's today's list! I'm off to work, then to the in-laws for the weekend. :) We'll be hitting up the thrifts, but I might not post until later in the day tomorrow.

Happy Father's Day to the best dad, dad-in-law, and grandpa a girl could ask for!!!

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Finds: A Teeny Fireplace :)

Dollhouse Fireplace: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

I love finding little things for my dollhouse! It's so much fun. :) So, I was super excited to thrift this awesome fireplace from the Goodwill bins this past Saturday!

It is so detailed, including red glitter on the little logs to make it look like it's being used. And the extra bonus is that it fit right into the corner of the dollhouse living room!

Happy Friday!
Always,
Amanda

Insta-Thursday

This week was full of: having fun with the A Beautiful Mess app, checking out a new thrift store, enjoying a fun date night with the hubby, finally scoring a Nate Berkus for Target turtle shell, taking selfies, staring at my new Saltwater Sandals, and hanging with the kitty. :)

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Red, Gold, Black

Shirt, Jeans, Necklace, Bag: All Thrifted; Saltwater Sandals: Amazon

This was Sunday's outfit, for a day of successful estate sale hunting, movie watching, and grocery shopping. :) I'm definitely still in love with my Saltwater Sandals and my thrifted red bag! (Although it was maybe a little hot out for the black shirt!)

Also, I feel like I should point out that my hair made me, like, 5'7"!

I hope everyone is having a great week so far. :)

Always,
Amanda

Estate Sale Treasure: A Waterford Heart :)

Waterford Crystal Dish: Estate Sale ($10)

When we were in Ireland, we visited the Waterford Crystal Factory. There was an amazing tour, complete with getting to hold Waterford Crystal trophies shaped like footballs! It definitely made me more interested in the company and in crystal in general. (Not something previously on the radar for a thrifty chick like myself!)

So when Josh and I went to an awesome estate sale on Sunday, filled to the brim with nice things, I spotted this pretty heart. I looked at the bottom, and sure enough, it was Waterford! And it was just ten bucks. :)


Always,
Amanda

Thrift Finds: A for Amanda :)

Ceramic 'A' Dish: Family Thrift ($0.45)

I almost left Family Thrift empty-handed this past Saturday. Then, I spotted this awesome 'A' dish for forty-five cents!!!!  I love initial stuff, and I had never seen a dish shaped like my first initial. :) I could see something like this being from Anthropologie for twenty bucks or so.

I found some other pretty great things this weekend, too! We went to a sweet estate sale that was full of awesome stuff for very decent prices. :) I just love when that happens!

Always,
Amanda
