Outfitted In: Boom! Pow!

Shirt, Jeans, Bag: All Thrifted; Sweatshirt: F21; Sunnies: TJMaxx

It's finally sweatshirt weather! (Well, at least in the mornings!) So, when we went to a couple of estate sales on Sunday, I threw on this awesome sweatshirt I found at Forever 21.

Speaking of estate sales, we found a couple cool things at them this weekend. And I spotted a whole bunch of cool things, too! I'll definitely have estate sale photos tomorrow!

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Black Cats and Leopard Print

Shirt: Thrifted; Jeans: Burlington; Jacket, Jason Wu Scarf: Target; Bag: TJMaxx; Loafers: Khols

Sunday was quite the day. Not only was it Super Bowl Sunday, it was Jason Wu-per Bowl Sunday! Known as by those less corny than I as the day the Jason Wu for Target collection came out. :)

We went to all of our local Targets before finally finding this cat print scarf, the cat print tote, and the cat print shirt. :) It is safe to say I am officially a cat lady.

Although the Jason Wu for Target things have been going for high prices on eBay, I think I'm going to keep my hard-won finds. :) This scarf is definitely my favorite, but I know I'll be sporting the tote and shirt quite a bit too!

Have a great Wednesday!

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Leopard and Blues

Shirt, Flats, Necklace, Sweater, Bangles: Thrifted; Jeans, Burlington; Bag, Fieldguided

Sunday was a pretty packed day for the hubby and I. We went to Panera, Best Buy, Borders, Forever 21, an awesome estate sale, the movies to see 'Arthur', and finally the grocery store. Whew! But it was a good day, and we definitely got some neat things at the estate sale. The hubby even bought a lighter that looked like an old pistol!

The weather was a little overcast, but perfect otherwise. Definitely great short-sleeved sweater weather. :) Awww, Sundays. I can't wait for another one!

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Olive You

Olive Cardigan, Plane Necklace: Thrifted; Striped Shirt, Target Clearance; Jeans, Burlington; Shoes, Plato's Closet; Feather Necklace, F21; Fieldguided Tote, etsy

I love this newly thrifted sweater. It's like a big, comfy hug- and the perfect weight for our crazy changing weather here in Richmond. This is also my first time taking out my Fieldguided tote, (instead of just enjoying looking at it hanging on the wall!) and I love it! It's the perfect size, and the straps are long enough to be comfy on my shoulder. :)

I hit the doll clothes jackpot at Goodwill Outlet yesterday too! I can't wait to show you all the adorably spring-like outfits on Blythe. :) Have a great rest of your weekend!!!

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifted Outfit: New Finds and Sunshine

Ray Bans, TJMaxx; Jeans, Burlington; Feather Necklace, F21; Shoes, Plato's Closet; Shirt, Cardigan, Bag, Ship Necklace, Thrifted

This new bag I got at Goodwill Outlet on Saturday has the perfect hippie-on-the-move vibe. Its a great size and shape for weekend adventures, for sure. Another newly thrifted item I wore Sunday (when this photo was taken) was my purple cardigan. You can't tell too well from the picture, but the edges are scalloped! It has such a sweet look and feel, and I had been looking to add some purple to my closet. Well, that's about all I have for now. I haven't been having the best week ever, so here's to hoping the rest goes by fast!

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Leopard and Sailor Stripes

Ray Ban Wayfarers, TJMaxx; Striped Shirt, Target Clearance; Jeans, Burlington; Jacket, F21; Necklace, Flats, Vest, and Bag:  Thrifted

Oh my gosh, you guys! I am so excited about my newest pair of sunglasses- a special edition Ray Ban Wayfarer pair that I found at TJMaxx for less than fifty bucks! I've been wanting a pair of the classic Wayfarer shape- they seem to stay better on my little nose- and these are especially cool. :)

Also new in this outfit: the striped shirt I've been eying at Target for months that finally ended up on the clearance rack, and the F21 jacket I was telling you about yesterday. I have to say, paired with my awesome vintage satchel and leopard print flats, I was loving this outfit!

I also scored some really great vintage goodies whilst out thrifting/antiquing/church yard sale-ing! I can't wait to show you all the goods this week. :)

Always,
Amanda

Looking Back: Last Spring

I wore this outfit almost exactly a year ago! I remember I had gotten this sailor jacket and had no idea what to pair it with, and you all helped me out. It turned out pairing it with a bright color was key to modernizing it. :) I also remember that it was too hot that day to keep the jacket on!

This spring has started out pretty cold and rainy here in Richmond. I can definitely expect to be wearing a jacket of some sort on Saturday while I thrift!

The thing that really stands out here is my long hair... It will definitely be awhile before it gets that long again, but it's getting there. :) Have a happy Thursday, and I promise next week's posts will be more interesting!

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Huge Bow + Suede Boots

Hairband, Boots, Pirate Ship Pendant, Vintage Leather Bag: Thrifted; Jeans, Burlington; Bow Sweatshirt, CrystalCurfew etsy; Feather Necklace, Sunglasses: F21

I was so excited to wear this awesome, comfy, cute sweatshirt I bought from CrystalCurfew on etsy! They have the cutest shirts, sweatshirts, and the most awesome space print bag! I bought the space bag and sweatshirt for me, and I got the hubby their Sonic the Hedgehog shirt for his birthday, and he absolutely loves it. Everyone asks where he got it!

A couple other things about this outfit:
1. My newly thrifted perfect vintage leather bag! (The inside lining is map print!)
2. I finally got to wear my green suede boots!
3. My headband matched my sweatshirt! (I kind of felt like a soccer mom...LOL.)
4. You can see Sunday's little snow on the ground. Yup, it snowed on March 27th here in Richmond!

That's about it. We spent Sunday going to the crappiest estate sale ever and finding nothing, heading to the antique store and finding a post card, and going to Target and getting more Nerf darts. (We've been having Nerf wars with our thrifted Nerf guns! Soooo fun!)

I hope your week is going well so far. :)

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Some Bunny Loves You

Sunglasses, Tote, Jacket: F21; Jeans, Burlington; Flats, T Shirt; Necklaces: DIY andThrifted

You all probably know by now that I love, love, love sunglasses. I love inexpensive ones even more, so when I found these huge ones at Forever 21, I had to get them! At just $5.80, I'd say they're worth it. :)

 I love my newly thrifted shirt with a big 'T' on it! I'm sure it stands for some kind of sports team or something, but I'm pretending it stands for my last name. :)

Mule Necklace, DIY; White Necklace, Thrifted

The tote is my little 'Easter is coming' tote that is just so cute. (Yes, it does say 'Some bunny loves you.' No, I couldn't think of another post title...) Oh, and it was just $3.80!
OMG, and guess what I found yesterday while out thrifting?? Exactly what I was looking for!! More tomorrow...

Always,
Amanda

PS: Yes, my hair finally kind of goes into a ponytail!

My Thrifting Outfit: Pink, Blue, and Shrek Green

One of Saturday's favorite finds was something really, really silly: a Burger King Shrek watch! It's cute, plastic, and fun- I loved looking down at it all day Sunday! (Sorry- I'm a really big plastic watch nerd since I can't wear metal ones. :))

Button-Up, Target Clearance ($9); Striped Sweater, Gift from In-Laws; Jeans, Burlington ($15); KSwiss Shoes, Rugged Warehouse ($19); Scorpion Bolo, Heritage Antiques ($6); Bag, G.O. ($2.50); Shrek Watch, G.O. (<$1)

This outfit was not quite warm enough for Sunday's weather, since we were outside most of the day. We celebrated the hubby's birthday at the remote control airplane flying field, where we also had a cookout. I was shivering a little bit in the cold wind!

Here's a close-up of Mr. Shrek:

 Do you rock silly accessories, or is it just me and the third graders?

Always,
Amanda

PS: Happy 26th birthday, Josh!!!!

My Thrifting Outfit: Red, red, red

Sunglasses, eBay; Shirt, F21; Jeans, Burlington; Sweater, Purse, Shoes: Goodwill; Necklace, Thrift Store in Florida

I couldn't resist just piling on red thing after red thing for yesterday's thrifting outfit. I figured that, paired with basics like caramel leather and jeans, you can't have too much red!

Thrifting was pretty fun yesterday, since the hubby was off work again. We've been searching for a Sega Genesis, but haven't scored one yet. What we did find? Some awesome art prints, Pokey (from Gumby), a sword tie tack, and a West Germany little Easter basket, among other great treasures!

I hope you're having a great, relaxing weekend. :) I know I'm enjoying mine!

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Knits and Such

Shirt, Target Clearance; Knit Vest, Goodwill; Vintage Sweater, Goodwill; Jeans, Burlington; Shoes, F21; Bag, TJMaxx Clearance; Bangles, Thrifted/Vintage/F21; Shell Necklace, Diversity Thrift

I recently remembered this comfy knit vest was in the back of my closet, and just in time! It was perfect outside for this outfit yesterday, with blue skies and 60-something degree weather.

And it was so fun thrifting with the hubby again! He even found a couple things for himself, like a Nintendo and games, and a Homer Simpson Cookie Jar. (We're going to use it as a flower vase...awesome!)

I had good luck too. :) We're talking Ugg boots in my size, vintage goodies, and the most awesome pair of vintage aviator sunglasses ever...

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Touches of Yellow

I'm a big fan of an easy outfit. For me, that usually means a slightly dressier version of jeans and a tee, like this:

Zebra Shirt, Goodwill; Jeans, Burlington; Cardigan, Gift; Bangles: Antique Shops and F21; Hair Bow, F21; Shoes, Plato's Closet; Bag, TJMaxx Clearance

Sunday was spent visiting the hubby and I's favorite big antique mall and checking out a new Mexican restaurant. Both were great! I scored an awesome bow pin, and the hubby got a crazy looking estate pipe at the antique mall. And the Mexican place was cheap and tasty. :)

It shaped up to be a rainy, but otherwise pretty perfect, day.

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Vintage Red

I totally scored the other night at Goodwill and the clearance racks of Target and Burlington! This outfit is the product of finding some great wardrobe pieces for even better prices:

White Button-up, Target Clearance; Vintage Floral Shirt, Goodwill; Vintage Cardigan, Goodwill; Jeans, Burlington; Green Tassel Flats, Goodwill; Bag, TJMaxx Clearance

Four of these things I've been searching for forever...the perfect white button-up, great-fitting dark blue skinny jeans, a black Mulberry-esque bag, and tasseled flats!

I grabbed the vintage floral shirt on a whim, but I really ended up liking it! It goes so well with my red cardigan :) (Which I know isn't a huge step away from my favorite blue one, but I love vintage grandpa cardigans!!!)

I hope you all are having a great weekend!

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Wavy Hair and Tennis Shoes

Sunday went by way too fast this week! The hubby and I woke up late, got some donuts for breakfast, and then hit up an estate sale. I finally found a candle snuffer for a decent price- 50 cents!

Jacket and Shoes; F21; Shirt, Goodwill; Necklace, Goodwill Outlet; Bag, Target; Hair Pin, Vintage

This was a comfy and laid-back outfit for a lazy Sunday- the best kind!

Sorry that there's no Thrifty Blogger of the Month post today... I ran out of time in this short month! No worries- there will be a new one in a couple of days :)

Always,
Amanda
