Happy Valentine's Day :)

I hope you all have a wonderful day :) I know I say this all the time, but thank you so much for reading, for commenting, and for continuing to come back! You are awesome :)

Love Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Army Green + Stripes

I had to work yesterday morning, and by the time I got out, it was warm and sunny outside! Such a beautiful day :)

I was tempted to just throw on a short-sleeved shirt with my capris, but it wasn't that warm... I was glad to be able to wear my newly thrifted army green wool cardigan, anyway:

Fendi Sunglasses, TJMaxx Super-Clearance ($20!); Striped Sweater, Goodwill; Jeans, Goodwill; Army Green Sweater, Goodwill; Belt, Goodwill Outlet; Necklace, Goodwill Outlet; Leopard Flats, Love of Jesus; Vintage Brahmin Bag, Myriad of Mischief Etsy

Two other new things I couldn't wait to use: my Fendi rose sunglasses I scored for super-cheap at TJMaxx, and the vintage Brahmin bag I got from Myriam's etsy shop! I must say, I love both, and I felt pretty classy with such fancy accessories!

I didn't find much on the thrift front yesterday, but I will have a couple things to show you this coming week :) And of course, there will be a new Blythe's Thrifted Outfit on Friday!

Have a great Sunday, everyone :)

Always,
Amanda

Pretend Glasses

Vintage Glasses, Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

I know that pretty much all gals who actually wear glasses think they are annoying, but I've secretly always wanted to wear them! I was jealous of my friend Amber growing up, because she had awesome glasses and colorful braces!

Looking back, I'm glad I didn't have to go through the braces phase, but glasses still appeal to me. Anyway, this is just a long-winded explanation for my poser thrifted glasses shown above :)

I have to work this morning, but at about 12:20, it'll be the weekend!!! I'm so ready :)

Always,
Amanda

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit

So, I've finally come up with a new Friday series to replace Guy Finds Friday :)

My cute little Blythe doll will be my model for her thrifted clothes every Friday from now on! Here's her first outfit:

Vintage Plaid Dress; Vintage Plaid Sweater; Vintage Wool Coat; All: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

The coat is a little big for Blythe, but I think it looks like a chic Snuggie :) I haven't been able to find many pairs of doll shoes for her, but I'm keeping a lookout! There are plenty more thrifted vintage outfits to share!

Always,
Amanda

Artsy Shells

Wall Art, Goodwill Outlet ($1)

I love finding fun wall art in the Goodwill bins! It's just about the cheapest way to get art that there is :)

I just liked this for it's look, and for the shells: it reminds me of Florida in a classy sort of way. The hubby says that the writing is the scientific and the Latin names for those shells. (It could say 'lalalala' and I'd still like it!)

I hope your week is going well :) Mine is going pretty fast, but I work Saturday morning. At least the next weekend will be a long one!

Always,
Amanda

The Vintage Cowboy Boots of My Dreams!

My favorite find from this past Saturday, without a doubt, is my pair of vintage Laredo boots!

They are perfection- soft black leather, tassels, and my size!

Vintage Laredo Cowboy Boots, Good Samaritan ($5)

Five bucks is a small price to pay for something I've been searching for for years.

I found a pair about 6 years ago at a little thrift shop, but they were musty beyond repair. I also thrifted a pair of bright pink ones that I wore to the bone in college.

These are just what I've been looking for :)

Have a great Wednesday!

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Blue, Baby

Sunday was a pretty laid-back day for the hubby and I. With him in school, Sundays are our one day to be together and for him to do his homework.

This week was no different- we went to Goodwill and Plato's Closet in the morning (where the hubby found things, and I didn't!), and then we came home to writing papers and blogging.

Baby Blue Jacket, Good Samaritan; Sweater and Scarf, Rugged Warehouse; Jeans, Goodwill; Shoes, Family Thrift; Fringed Leather Bag, Good Samaritan; Vintage Cameo Pins, 1 Gifted from Aunt Shelley and 1 Family Thrift

It was such a pretty day- but I forgot my sunglasses! This is the only outfit picture the hubby took for me where my eyes were open :)

As you can see from this and the last outfit post, I'm really loving my fringed leather flats! They totally remind me of the shoes my dad would wear to work when I was a kid :)

I hope your week is going well!

Always,
Amanda
