Treasure from the Goodwill Bins

I was pretty lucky this past Saturday at the Goodwill Outlet :) It seemed that the crazed shoppers managed to leave behind quite a few vintage treasures for me!

Marble Mushroom; Crystal Wine Stopper; Mini Golden Records; Girl Scout Wallet/Belt; Little Soldier; All: Goodwill Outlet (<$1 total)

I had quite a streak of finding old children's items! Of these, my favorites are the little golden records! I love how they look on my wall by my new 'desk' :)

Speaking of which, my wonderful hubby got me my Valentine's Day present early- a new chair for my desk!!! I am so excited about it! I'll definitely be showing you guys sometime this week, since I couldn't wait till the actual holiday to put it in place :)

I hope you have a great Monday!

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Military + Zebra

I was sooooo excited to find a military-inspired wool coat at Plato's Closet for ten bucks!!!! I've been looking for a good-quality, warm coat all winter, and this one is my dream come true :)

And when I think 'military coat' what comes to mind to go with it? A bright blue cardigan and a zebra shirt! Anyone with me?

Ray Bans, Goodwill in Pensacola; Zebra Shirt, Jeans, Cardigan, Scarf, and Vintage Whiting & Davis Bag, Goodwill Richmond; Jack Purcell for Converse Shoes, JCrew Warehouse Sale; Coat, Plato's Closet

I don't ever wear these jeans that I picked up at my local Goodwill a couple months ago. They're tricky to style for a short person like me, but they're thick and warm so I gave it a try! I think I'll mostly stick to my boot-cut jeans, but every once in awhile it's nice to rock some wide-leg ones!

On another note, I found some awesome things at Goodwill Outlet yesterday :) Just little things, but they're pretty cool!

Have a fantastic Sunday, everyone :)

Always,
Amanda

Friday Web Round-Up and Giveaway Reminder!

While I did get a couple of things from the estate sale we went to on Sunday, I never managed to photograph them! Whoops!

Time has just flown by this week, but I would like to share a couple of blogs I've been reading non-stop :)

1) I don't know how I never heard of the blog Thrift Core until this week, but trust me, it's awesome! We're talking thrifted finds, great organization tips, and DIY. It's a lovely, very well-designed blog that I just know you'll love, so check it out!

2) Another blog I've been reading the past week is I Heart Vintage. The blog's writer Kavita is based in the UK, and she takes the loveliest outfit and car boot finds photos! I've always found stories from 'across the pond' very interesting, and this blog is no exception :)

3) One of my very own readers has an awesome blog called The Lemon Tree! Alyssa shows us her thrift finds (some great ones!), her cute but mischievous pup, and her love of Pyrex :) Talk about my kind of girl! Check out her blog asap!

4) You have until tonight to enter the Another's Treasure vintage jewelry giveaway!!! I'm so excited to be able to share some of my finds with my fabulous readers- YOU! :)

Have a wonderful Friday- TGIF!!

Always,
Amanda

I Love the 90s Strikes Back

Oh, the 90s. I was in elementary and middle school during that decade, and it was good times :) I owned about 10 of those fuzzy feather pens, a million and one chokers from Afterthoughts, and about 20 journals full of my pre-teen angst and Hanson photos!

Picture Frame, Goodwill Outlet (<$1)

My middle school self just had to have this picture frame at Goodwill Outlet on Saturday! Stars, sparkles, and 90s goodness= perfection.

There's something comforting in being able to find pieces of the past in random bins for less than a dollar.

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Bans and Stripes

I've been having fun with sunglasses lately- most notably, my new red heart-shaped ones! But on Sunday, I was in the mood to rock the classic Ray Bans I thrifted in Pensacola last year :)

Ray Bans, Goodwill in Pensacola; Jacket, F21; Floral Shirt, Goodwill; Jeans, Goodwill; Scarf, Christmas gift; Dooney & Bourke Bag, Goodwill; Leather Boots, Urban Outfitters (2008)

I liked this photo that the hubby took, even though it's crooked :) (He says it's 'artsy crooked'!) These two trees by our apartment always make a great backdrop!

I just kind of threw this outfit together of some of my favorites, and I really liked it. I guess pairing all the things you love makes an outfit you love :) Wow. We're getting pretty deep here for a Tuesday, huh? ;)

Have a great one!

Always,
Amanda
