Thrift Finds: The Bangles

Bangles, Love of Jesus Thrift ($1.50 for all)

One last find from last weekend's thrifting: a trio of cute bangle bracelets! I scored these at Love of Jesus Thrift for 50 cents each- a total bargain. :)

The gold one is fun, the pink one is the same shape as my two bakelite bracelets, and the red one is very ladybug-like. A whole lot of cute for a buck fifty!

That's about all I have for today. I seem to have come down with a sinus/head cold, and it's really sapping my energy. Here's to hoping today goes by fast!!

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Find: Not Quite Chanel

Vintage Leather Chain-link Bag, Goodwill Outlet ($2)

I was glad to find this Chanel-like bag at Goodwill Outlet this past weekend. :) I love that it's made of good-quality leather and seems like it'll last, unlike many pleather Chanel copies. (And goodness knows that I'll never be able to afford a real one...)

The best part is that it's the perfect size for thrifting and estate sale hunting! Nothing beats a good cross-body bag for digging through things. :)

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Green and Blue, and Aviators

Cardigan, Jeans, Loafers, Bag, Aviators, Necklace: All Thrifted; Shirt, Target Clearance

This cardigan was thrifted right at the end of Spring, and I only got to wear it once before it got too warm outside. With the cooler weather finally back, I was glad to dig it out of the back of my closet again. :)

This bag is a recent Goodwill Outlet find, and it reminds me of a classic Chanel bag. :) I'll have a better photo of it tomorrow!

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Finds: Pandas and Ladybugs

Vintage Panda Planters, Goodwill Outlet (<$1); Ladybug Pin, Love of Jesus, ($1)

Animal finds are usually my favorites. This is especially true when I thrift animal jewelry or home decor! I get overly excited about things like that. :)

There's something about being able to pull awesome panda planters out of a bin full of junk that makes me smile really big! I plan on putting a couple of hardy little plants in them. :) (One's for me, and one's for my sis-in-law.)

The ladybug pin was something I grabbed for my mother-in-law, because she's a big fan of ladybugs. Whenever I find anything ladybuggy, I get it for her. :)

I hope you all have a great day! I, for one, hope today's a good one!

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Finds: Aviators and Mustard

Aviators, Mustard Yellow Top: Love of Jesus Thrift ($6 for both)

While I didn't score big time at Goodwill Outlet this week, I was pretty darn lucky at Love of Jesus Thrift. :) I haven't been going there every week, so there were plenty of new things to look at!

I was drawn right over to this long-sleeve top because of the awesome mustard yellow of it. While I think it's actually meant to be a swim cover-up, it works great as a lightweight layer over another shirt. :) I can see it getting a lot of wear this Fall- I just love it!

The aviators were a last-minute find (they keep items such as jewelry and sunglasses at the register), but I'm glad I spotted them! They don't have a brand name, but the lenses are quality ones, and I love their look. :)

Well, I suppose that's all for today. I hope your day is a great one!

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Zig Zags and Pink

Necklace, Flats, Bag, Bracelet: All Thrifted; Sweater, Missoni for Target; Shirt, F21

Ahhhh. This 60-something weather is just perfection- ideal for light layers and warm apple cider. Hello, October. I think I love you.

Speaking of the weather, this outfit was just right for yesterday's. I was all comfy and cozy while drifting in and out of a couple thrifts, finding little treasures. :)

Another fun thing- I ran into Sarah of Five Camels at Goodwill Outlet! She's a real sweetheart, and I just love her blog, so it was great to say hi in person again. :) (We ran into each other at G.O. last year too!)

I hope you all are having a nice, relaxing day. That is my plan, for sure!

Always,
Amanda

Detail Shot Saturday: A Bit of Missoni

Missoni for Target Flats

Man, did any of you try to go to Target the day the Missoni collection came out? I didn't go that morning, but I heard it was madness! At our local Target, there was apparently a huge line waiting for the store to open, and a mad rush once it did. By the time I made it there that evening, there was barely anything left!

The funny thing is, at least at our Target, they've restocked a little bit. And pretty much all the things that I really wanted, I was able to get these past few weeks. :)

These flats were near the top of my list. My thoughts? The bottoms are a bit slippery until you wear them in, but otherwise they are great. :)

I hope you have a great Saturday! I'm super glad for the weekend!!

Always,
Amanda
