Green Suede Shoes

Green Suede Boots, Good Samaritan ($4)

Man, I've been on a roll finding boots lately. Probably because the weather's starting to get warmer! But these are short and breathable enough for spring :)

There's something so exciting about finding brand new suede shoes for less than five bucks. Ah, thrifting. Good times :)

I hope you have a great Monday!

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Braids in my Hair and Zebra on my Shirt

I was going through my closet the other night, and I found my favorite zebra shirt! I tried -and failed- to resist wearing my comfy blue cardigan with it. What can I say? When I find something I love, I wear the heck out of it!

Vintage Beads Necklace, West End Antiques; Zebra Shirt, Goodwill; Jeans, Goodwill; Flats, Family Thrift; Bag, Target; Cardigan, Goodwill

My hair is finally growing out a bit, so I've been trying different styles. This is my attempt at braids and a tiny ponytail :)

You also might notice the change in scenery- I decided to try doing my outfit photo where I take most of my thrifted item photos: our apartment balcony. With the hubby working every Saturday now, I think this set-up might be the easiest :)

I hope you are having a great weekend!

Blythe's Thrifted Outfit

Doll Hat; Paw-Print Romper; Both: Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

This week, Blythe's outfit reflects the changing of the seasons here in Richmond. It has been back-and-forth with the freezing temps and the warm days, but yesterday was warm enough for a romper and a spring-like hat.

The wind was super-strong, but only Blythe's hair got a little ruffled- there was no tumbling off the 2nd floor balcony :)

I hope you have a great weekend! I'm so glad to have a few days to relax :)

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Variation on a Theme

Weekends are the only days I don't wear a uniform. Actually, I take that back. I kind of do wear a uniform of sorts on weekends, like this past long weekend. My tasseled flats and my Target purse got worn throughout- I just changed up my jeans and shirt combos and my other accessories.

Here's Monday's look: (And yes, I am that pale!)

Beret, Plato's Closet; Shirt, Burlington Coat Factory Clearance; Jeans and Necklace, Goodwill; Ray Bans, Goodwill in Pensacola; Flats, Family Thrift; Purse, Target; Sweater, F21

It's strange now to think that the weekend was so warm! The past couple days have been freezing, with rain and flurries. Oh, Richmond weather. I think I'll be more of a fan when it's actually spring and stays in the 60s for awhile. :)

I hope you have a great weekend! I have a super busy day of work ahead of me, but then it's the weekend. :) I'll show you Blythe's thrifted outfit of the week tomorrow!

Always,
Amanda

Vintage Beads, A Love Story

The only thing I like better than finding something cool for two bucks at the antique mall is finding vintage wooden beads on a necklace for the same.

Vintage Wooden Bead Necklace, West End Antiques ($2)

I love this necklace because:
#1: It happens to be orange and blue.
#2: Chippy paint on wooden beads is awesome.
#3: It is a ready-made, go-to necklace in non-metal, which is surprisingly hard to find.

Okay, that's about all the brain cells I can use this morning, since I've got a super-busy couple of days of work to go until the weekend. Have a great day!

Always,
Amanda

Meet My New Guitar Love...

Resonator Guitar, eBay (gift from hubby)

Remember the beautiful resonator guitar that got away? Well, my absolutely wonderful hubby found me one of eBay for much, much less than that one!!! I am so in love with it! Everything sounds so great on a resonator guitar- it has a bit brighter, more electric, happy sound than regular guitars.

While this wasn't a thrift find, the hubby's great deal on it deserves some kudos, and I couldn't help but showing you guys something I'm so in love with. :)

Have a great Wednesday, everyone!!

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Blue like your Eyes

Sunday was a pretty day for browsing around an estate sale and relaxing with the hubby. It was a day that just called for a bright, happy, blue sweater. And I have just the thing!

Vintage Sunglasses, Good Samaritan; Sailboat Print Shirt, F21; Jeans and Sweater, Goodwill; Tassel Flats, Family Thrift; Bag, Target; Shell Necklace, Diversity Thrift

Whenever I wear this color blue or an olive green, my eyes change to that color. It's kind of cool, but I always forget about it until a stranger comes up to me and mentions that my eyes match my shirt/sweater/outfit.

Of course, I had to wear sunglasses in the bright sun on Sunday, so you can't see my mutant eyes for yourself... Maybe next time I bust out 'ol Blue!

Always,
Amanda
