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

What I'm Loving...

So I wasn't particularly fruitful in my thrifting/ estate sale adventures this past weekend. (Except finding the main thing I was looking for, so I'm definitely not complaining!) But that means I don't have quite as much to share this week on the 'ol blog.

I thought I'd do something a little different and show the things I've been loving lately. :)

1. My new Fieldguided tote, and the Fieldguided blog!

2. Painting my nails all sorts of crazy ways! Here were my nails on Monday/yesterday, a mix of white Sally Hansen nail polish, Love My Nails heart nail polish, and Wet 'N Wild sparkly nail polish:

 

3. The map lining of my newly thrifted vintage leather satchel (as seen in yesterday's outfit post):

4. Making etsy treasuries as wish lists for my birthday! I've made three wish lists so far- there are just so many pretty things! (Lists HERE, HERE, and HERE)

That's pretty much what I've been loving this past week. :) I hope yours is going well!

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

Found: Vintage Market Bag!

Vintage Market Bag, Goodwill Outlet ($2.50)

I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I looked in the purse bin at Goodwill Outlet on Saturday and spotted just what I was looking for!! Sometimes, thrifting seems like magic. To be able to find (and afford) things I normally wouldn't be able to makes thrifting so worth it to me.

Now, if I could just thrift a Nintendo 3DS (soooo awesome!) and this new camera I saw at Wal*Mart that I just LOVE...

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!

What I'm Wanting: Vintage Market Bag

Vintage Basket Weave Purse, Hillplace etsy shop

I've seen bags like this before at the thrifts, but I didn't get them. Now, with spring on its way, I think it would be the perfect bag for the warmer months! So, I'm on the lookout while I thrift today. :)

Wish me luck, and happy weekend!!!

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
