you're breaking my heart You're shaking my confidence daily

Sorry, my formal apologies. I don't post as often as I should from now on I will post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Besides that I went to Maine yesterday. I ventured far from my usual haunts (the goodwill around the corner) to another goodwill 120 miles away. I'm unimaginative in a weird way. I met up with some family and we traipsed to a couple of thrift stores. I guess the pictures explain the rest.

(incase you want further explanation)

army boots

vintage silk bowties

vintage nude heels

Posts of me wearing these in outfits to come soon.

You are now entering the twilight zone.....

My dad's birthday is coming up. So I decided to send him a surprise. I don't live with my dad I live with my mom and step-dad, so if i don't tell my dad about the surprise he would have no way to find out about it before it gets there. So the surprise is this fantastic pair of white 80's men's shoes. They were perfect after I washed the grime off them (found in thrift store)

But I didn't want to stop it at just that! I took a fine point sharpie and doodled all over them. My father has a penchant for the candy Peanut Chew's so i drew the logo on them. Also if I'm already bragging I drew a purdy dandy Twilight zone thingy on them! Also this is the outfit i wore yesterday.

Agnes b leather vest

leggings

docs

really really old wool army/farm shirt.

dads hat

bow tie

My uncle Micheal's leather jacket. He got it in England when he was young. I feel so happy that i was gifted it! I'm lucky!
P.S i don't know why the pictures say that they are from 2008.... Something messed up with the camera? or maybe iphoto?

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.

Some more fabulous thrift store finds. A vintage 80's Betsey Johnson dress. (GAHHHHH! Amazingness) Worn with a red belt, velvet shoes, and a vintage suede red bag with a zipper across the front. (I got the bag awhile ago and haven't found what to wear it with.) I paired the silk pastel pink pants (I mentioned them earlier on the blog) with a cummerbund and bow tie that i bought in a set together for 2.99, and a lace shirt. The first picture was for photography class. It was supposed to have a color theme hence the red.

I've read this issue so much it's getting worn out. (ohhhh that wasn't funny ):)

I got a subscription to this magazine for Christmas and boy oh boy was i a happy 13 year old camper! Worn is chock full of interesting articles and intriguing outfits. I love the interview with Johnathan Walford and Kenn Norman. The fashion collectors talk about how they became interested in fashion and (gasp) their dislike of Chanel. Which personally disagree with but anywhoo, my favorite article was Beauty As Duty which was about the second world war and how it affected fashion. I can't wait for the next issue and I'll post about it when I get it! PROMISE!

Well, what a surprise Goodwill again! But with an extra TWISTILYDIDDLY SUPRISE SONIA AND ALISA!

"I have a plan!" was the first thing I said to my friends Sonia and Alisa (besides of course giving them hugs) And OH SONIA HOW I LOVE YOU responded with "does that include thrifting?" How right she was! We walked to Goodwill and had a fabulous time thrifting! Sonia found the greatest Leather Jacket; That's a perfect too big slouchy look, Aw she's sooo amazingly pretty! and the most niftydandyloo thing is she's gonna stencil designs onto it with silver spray-paint. And Alisa (who is also a beauty just to let you know!) got tons of stuff! I got this really cool silver dress, and a brown and white striped vintage dress and finally these powder pink silk pants. I was going for the stella Mcartney ss10 RTW look! maybe? Included pics of my clothes and Sonia's jacket,but sadly i didn't get any usable pics of Alisa's clothes. WAMP WAMP WAHHHH

H is for hooligans, hog warts and small crying children.... Wait that's not how it goes?

I went to Goodwill after school yesterday. I was uber surprised at what I found! It was like diving into a rather musty smelling pile of gold! I took a pic of the outfit in the store and then today when I wore it to school. I always feel super duper diddly fantastwic when I can put together a whole outfit while thrift shopping. Like I could walk right out of the store and onto the street. Problem though is that when I do that I feel compelled to buy the whole thing. But still it only cost me 30 bucks for a skirt, shirt, sweater! Still, arg 30 dollars is a lot for a 13 year old on a budget... ): People kept asking me what the H on the sweater was for. I have no clue though I assume it's a school? But my social studies teacher told me to just make it up. So I said hooligans, but then I though of the inevitable Harry Potter. The Hogwarts also starts with a H and so does HufflePuff? I have revealed myself secret Harry Potter nerd. Well, nerd no doubt but I don't really think it was a secret. On an ending note. I have a puzzling conundrum? I was walking home from school today when a small child (5 or so) pointed at me then proceeded to cry. His mother picked him up (he was still pointing) and walked off. I'm confused? If you have any theories comment on them. Also I'm not kidding this happened. I'm slightly offended.

foam,vintage and bubble tea. What?

Today I decided to take the long trek... (10 mins wow, I'm an active person) to my local Goodwill. Which happens to be the closest thing my area has to heaven. No fat baby thingys with wings nor is there clouds shaped like cotton candy or horribly tacky white gowns that everyone seems to be soooo in love with. Okay, sometimes there is the tacky dresses. But you can certainly find the occasional an amazing piece. Anyway, after I went there my mom (who's upholstering a chair) made me go to a store called Foam Rubber. I'm not kidding it was actually called Foam Rubber. And she got some foam for a cushion on her chair. You will not believe how many people need foam/rubber. The phone was ringing constantly and the store was crowded. God, it was so strange. Foam! THEY SELL BLOCKS OF FOAM FOR GODSAKE! I just don't understand the appeal of that, but whatever. I have included pictures of the Foam Rubber store because when you have been to the Twilight Zone and back you should share your experiences. Pictures of my local Goodwill because I Love That Place! Finally pictures of what I bought and what I wore today because this is a fashion blog... I wore: a vintage slip

3 belts I forget where I got them.... Some thrift store, My docs.,And a vintage hunting jacket from GOODWILL!
