Outfitted In: Pandas and Circle Shades

Vintage Ray Ban Sunnies, etsy; Panda Shirt, F21; Necklace, Headband, Jeans, Sandals, Bag, and Girl Scout Necktie: All Thrifted

This outfit was as much about wearing new goodies as it was being comfortable for a day outside of the apartment. (You can see some of the leaves and twigs that blew off the surrounding trees the day before during Irene!)

Anyway, these sunnies are just about the most awesome etsy find ever! They're vintage Ray Ban, and they're round and solid and lovely! And, they were less than $40. :)

Also new in this outfit: the vintage bag I showed you all yesterday, a vintage Girl Scout necktie attached to it, a vintage made in Japan necklace, a beaded headband, and my new Forever 21 panda tee! Whew! Lots of new-to-me goodies for one outfit, especially for a thrifty girl such as myself. :)

I hope you're having a great week!


Always,

Thrift Find: Pretty Little Vintage

Vintage Handbag, Goodwill Outlet ($2)

I love the details of this little vintage handbag! It's made out of coated, twisted wood with a lucite handle- pretty awesome for two bucks!

Despite its looks, it actually is a decent size inside, too. :) Pretty exciting!

Have a great day. :)

Amanda

Thrift Finds: A Little Bag of Treasure

Little Bag full of Vintage Dice, Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

My quick jaunt to Goodwill Outlet Saturday didn't yield many finds, but I had to grab this bag of vintage dice! First off, I love the mustard color of the bag. Second, I'm a huge fan of vintage dice, which the bag was filled with. Score and score. :)

Some are really odd-shaped, and I'm sure those only make sense with the games they originally accompanied. But to look at, they're perfect!

Oh, and we survived the storm without losing power at all. :) I think this was the first hurricane/tropical storm I've been through where I didn't lose power!

Have a great Monday. :)

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Black and Blue. Red and Rain.

Striped Shirt and Jeans: Target Clearance; Bag, Button-Up, Necklace: Thrifted; Sandals, Journeys

With the hurricane heading our way, I was thinking about just skipping thrifting yesterday. I ended up getting up pretty early and taking a quick trip to just Goodwill Outlet.

It wasn't busy there at all, and I ended up scoring an awesome vintage bag and a couple other little things! I was back home safe and sound by 10 am. :)

As I write this (Saturday afternoon), the trees outside are moving like crazy in the wind, and the rain is falling in every direction! Hurricanes and Tropical Storms remind me of growing up in Florida. Right now, we still have power, so I thought I'd go ahead and set up this post for tomorrow now just in case!

Have a great Sunday, everyone! And stay safe if you're in the path of the hurricane. :)

Always,
Amanda

Detail Shot Saturday: Pretty Little Things

Here are a series of detail shots I've been taking the past couple weeks. :) Lots of fun, colorful, thrifted accessories are filling my late summer outfits.

Wouldn't have it any other way. :)

Thrift Finds: For the Thirteen Year Old Boy in All of Us

Everything, Goodwill Outlet (~$1)

I usually find a thing or two for the hubby while I'm thrifting, but a couple weekends ago, I hit the guy find motherload! As you can see, his interests still include video games, characters from childhood, and action figures. :) (I have to admit that I like these things too!)

I hope, when we have kids, that they enjoy these kinds of finds as much as we do. It's so much cheaper buying toys at Goodwill Outlet than the toy store!

Happy Friday!!

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Find: A Horse, of Course

Vintage Breyer Horse, Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

I've seen Breyer horses all the time at antique shops, but always for twenty or thirty bucks. This one, yes, is minus a foot (hoof?), but it was a steal at less than a dollar!

What surprised me is how detailed these nice model horses are. While the real deal kind of scare me, (they're so big!) I like this small one. :)

Have any of you ever collected model horses?

Always,
Amanda
