Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: Aloha!

Vintage Doll Dress, Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

I thought this vintage doll dress was pretty neat when I spotted it in the Goodwill Outlet bin. I like the Hawaiian-like print and the ruffly bits!

Please excuse the indoor photo (ie: non-photogenic background with the hubby's games and my movie), but I keep forgetting to take Blythe's outfit photos until the last minute. These past few weeks have gone by so fast that I hardly can believe it's Friday again! Have a great one. :)

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: A Red Hat and a Teddy Bear

Red Hat, Romper, Skirt, Teddy Bear: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

You know how last week I said I hadn't found doll clothes in awhile? Well, I think Goodwill Outlet heard me, 'cause this awesome hat, skirt, and teddy bear were waiting in the bins for me! I love this outfit, which is a remix of last week's. The yellow skirt works so well with the romper, and I couldn't resist throwing the little teddy bear in the photo for good measure. :) Have a happy Friday, everyone!

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: Pink and Blue

Blue Romper, Pink Barbie Skirt, Barbie Purse: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

I haven't found any new outfit pieces for Blythe for quite awhile, so I used a common style blogger trick and made a new outfit with a romper as a top. :) While I personally couldn't pull off a romper and a bright pink skirt, I think Blythe wears it well!

I hope you have a great Friday, and a nice weekend as well. :) I have to work tomorrow morning, but then I'll be off to the thrift shops!

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: Buckets of Sunshine

Vintage Doll Shirt and Shorts; Vintage Basket: Goodwill Outlet

Hey there! I hope everyone is having a great Friday! Even though we're on vacation, I hope you've enjoyed the posts I've scheduled for you guys this week. :) This is the last one until we return from California! See you on Monday. :)

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: Tie Dye + Denim

 Every piece of Blythe's outfit for this Friday came from Goodwill Outlet on Monday. :) Gotta love all-thrifted, easy outfits! Well, I'm off to California on vacation tomorrow, so have a great week! I'll have some posts scheduled, and perhaps I'll pop in a time or two, but I'll mostly be tuned out from the internet. :)

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: Pastels and Purple

Vintage Barbie Clothes; Keds Mini Backpack; Goodwill Outlet

It is so, so green outside our balcony right now! I love when the trees are full of leaves, because it seems like we live right next to a forest.

Blythe's 80s-tastic shorts and crop-top are fun spring pieces, and I love that I thrifted a tiny backpack as well. :) I hope you have a great Friday! I work tomorrow morning, but then I have Monday off and vacation the next week! I'm super excited!

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: Skates and Stripes

Ken Shirt; DIY Cut-off Shorts; Barbie Roller Skates: Goodwill Outlet; Book, Borders Closing Sale

In my haze of sickness, I totally forgot to post Blythe's thrifted outfit photo yesterday! Probably because I went ahead and took the photo last Sunday, when I decided to see if these light-up Barbie skates would fit Blythe's smaller feet. Luckily, they do! The hard part was finding a way to prop her up since the skates weren't very steady on their own.

A thrift store-cheap book to the rescue! This was one of the many, many books I got at the final Borders bookstore closing sale for $1.99. I used to work for Borders in Florida, so I was really sad to see our local store close, but I am excited to read all of my new books.

On another note, I am finally starting to feel better! It probably has to do with the huge amount of sleep I've been able to get over the past two days. It's amazing what antibiotics, sleep, medicine, and orange juice can do. :) Have a great weekend, everyone!!

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: Happy Easter!

Vintage Doll Dress, Bloomers, and Purse: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

Here are more of the lovely doll clothes I scored at Goodwill Outlet a couple weekends ago. Some (now grown-up?) little girl must have gotten rid of her whole collection, because there was a veritable gold mine that day! For her Easter outfit, Blythe is sporting her new frilly yellow dress with little stars on it, last week's pink bloomers, and her pink purse. Love it- I just wish that I had more shoes for her! I'm thinking little wing-tip oxfords in tan and cream would be perfect with this outfit. :)

Happy Friday!!!

Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: Springy Dots

Vintage Doll Clothes and Barbie Purse, Goodwill Outlet

I love these dotted pink shorts on Blythe! And they go so well with the dotted orange blouse. :) Sort of matchy-clashy. This is the first of many cute new outfits you'll see from the Goodwill Outlet bins last Saturday!

Happy Friday!!!!

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: Dotted and Flared

Barbie Jeans, Dotted Doll Shirt, Purse: Goodwill Outlet

I love the fit of this polka-dotted doll shirt on Blythe. I think it was made for larger dolls, but the oversize fit reminds me of the shirts you find so often at Forever 21. As for the Barbie jeans, they fit perfectly except the long length. But who wants to hem awesome bell bottoms to make them ordinary? Not me!

I hope you are having a lovely Friday. After today and tomorrow morning, it'll be the weekend for me! I'm definitely looking forward to it. :)

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: Tomboy/ Rock Star

Boy Doll Sweater, Cut-offs: Goodwill Outlet; Guitar, Dollar Tree

It has been pretty chilly in Richmond this past week, so I thought it was fitting to put Blythe in a thrifted boy doll sweater with last week's cut-offs. For a rock star edge, I picked up this former party favor at Dollar Tree. As a guitar player/ tomboy-at-heart myself, I could see myself throwing on a human-sized version of this outfit in an instant.

I hope you all have a great weekend! I for one can't wait to hit the thrifts. :)

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: Treasure Trolls

Vintage Barbie Troll Shirt; Doll Cut-offs; Both: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

I was excited to snatch up this 80s Treasure Trolls Barbie shirt at Goodwill Outlet a couple weeks ago! I'm always on the lookout for doll shirts, since they're harder to find than dresses and closer to something I'd wear. This outfit is definitely more my style than what I usually find for Blythe!

I'm so glad it's Friday. :) Almost thrift time!

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit: So Seventies

Vintage Doll Top and Bell Bottoms, Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

With all the 70-esque fashion floating around, I couldn't resist these super bell-bottom pants for Blythe! They are way more psychedelic and literally disco than you might want to wear, but for a doll- why not?

This outfit would be perfect for today's weather, too- it is supposed to be over 80 degrees! We'll be back to cooler weather over the weekend, but today it's summer outside. :)

I hope you have a great Friday!!!

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit

Vintage Barbie Dress, Antique Shop in Florida ($2); New Pink Computer Chair, Goodwill ($8)

Here was the perfect opportunity to show off this neat old Barbie dress on Blythe and my newly thrifted pink computer chair. (It was a particularly dark and rainy day yesterday, and this was pretty much my only photo option, in other words!)

First, the dress was a cool find from an antique shop near my parent's house when we were down there for Thanksgiving. It's a tad big on Blythe, but I like the print on it for spring!

The chair was an awesome and timely find, since I loveeeee my vintage ice cream chair but can't sit on it comfortably for more than a couple minutes! Now my pretty Valentine's day chair is doing what it does best- looking good- and my new computer chair is cute and pink and comfy. Win-win.

Happy Friday! I have to work tomorrow morning, but then I'll be off to the thrift shops with the hubby since he has the day off for once! I'm excited to go with him again. :)

Always,
Amanda
