Outfitted In: Comics and Kitties

Sweatshirt: F21; Jeans, Bag, Necklace: Thrifted; Shoes: Rugged Wearhouse
Sorry I totally missed Insta-Thursday yesterday! I had a job interview, and I just totally forgot to post. Woops! (The interview went well, though, so all's good!)

Anyway, this was my thrifting outfit for one of our Pensacola thrift outings. Best to go comfy and easy, with a cross-body bag and slip-on shoes!

I always have such a good time thrifting with my Grammy, especially in Pensacola, because they have tons of awesome thrift shops. :)

Happy Friday!

Always,
Amanda

Pensacola #Thriftspotting Day One :)

 


 On the first day of our Pensacola thrifting adventures, it was me, Grammy, Mom and Josh. :) We hit up quite a few thrifts and spotted a bunch of cool stuff!

My favorite thing above? Probably the quilted cat I found in the Goodwill Outlet bin. It was unfortunately a little grungy, so it didn't come home with me.

I did leave with one thing that day, though, which I'll show y'all tomorrow!

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Finds: A Book and a Cat :)

Kitty Necklace ($3); Diary by Chuck Palahniuk ($1)

I thrifted mostly Christmas presents while we were in Pensacola, but these are two of my finds for me! I couldn't resist the kitty necklace, since I can restring it with a leather cord and wear it. :)

There's a funny story about the book, actually. My Grammy called me over to the books to look at a series to see if I'd like it. As I looked at the books she was talking about, I mentioned that I wasn't having any luck at the thrifts at finding Chuck Palahniuk books. And then I looked down, and bam! There was one I didn't have- for a buck! Talk about awesome. :)

I did lots of #thriftspotting in Pensacola (we went to 9 places!) so I'll have plenty more from our trip to share!

Always,
Amanda

Outfitted In: Studs + Mocs :)

Sweater: Gift; Jeans, Mocs: Thrifted
 
This was my comfy Thanksgiving Day outfit, for a relaxing day helping my Grammy in the kitchen, looking at the Black Friday ads, eating awesome food, and taking a walk with my family. :)

I think this is my first outfit shot since my mom re-dyed the bottom of my hair to match my natural brown! I love having my normal color back again. :)

Anyway, we got back from my Grammy and Grandpa's house last night, and now I have to go hit the ground running with job stuff and getting our Florida driver's licenses!

Always,
Amanda

Antique Shop Spotting! :)



 There's this cool little antique mall down the road that is so neat! It's called Somewhere in Time and features probably 15 or so little booths. :)

Above are my favorite things I spotted. The best part? Most everything pictured above was less than $30! Pretty good for an antique shop!

My favorite thing in the place was the grey marble skull in the bottom picture. I really wanted to get it, but I just couldn't justify the $18 price for such a little item. Although, maybe I'll go back...

Anyway, we're off to Pensacola for Christmas with family this evening, and I can't wait! It'll be great to hang out with family and have a nice holiday. :) Plus, the thrift stores there are great, and I'm sure my Grammy will go with me!! See you next week, folks!

Always,
Amanda

Thrift Find: A Little Kitty Wallet/Purse :)

Kitty Wallet/Purse: Lighthouse Thrift ($1)
I couldn't resist this kitty cross-body wallet from Lighthouse Ministries Thrift! I had been looking at one very similar on etsy that morning as something to bring to the gym. :) And this one was much cheaper!

The best thing is that the straps are removable, so when I am using a regular purse, I can detach the strap and use it as a wallet. Then, I can snap the strap back on to bring thrifting or to the gym! Win, win!

I hope everyone's week is going well so far. :) I can't wait for the Thanksgiving holiday!!!

Always,
Amanda

#Thriftspotting



 Last week, we did a second #thriftspotting outing, this time to our local Goodwill! :) We saw some interesting things, for sure!

I actually really liked the unicorns and HUGE Pegasus, but I just couldn't find a reason to bring them home with me. (Probably my dad would think I was nuts!)

The funniest thing we spotted was the dog & cat drinking bowl, shaped like a toilet! They actually had multiples of them, and I briefly considered getting one as a gag gift, but I knew it would probably have ended up right back at Goodwill!

Well, I hope everyone is having a great Monday so far. :)

Always,
Amanda
