Stress and shopping, shopping and stress round and round we go!
Cheaper than therapy!
On Sunday, I thrifted with a small group of "regulars" including my buddy with the enormous Duck Nails, and I found 5 things for The Hubs which all fit him, and which he loved. I spent $2.60 on those items cause it was a 5 for $1 and $1 rack sale ... I was so pleased with myself!
But this is stuff I bought yesterday ... I only took the creme de la creme. Which is really the key I think!
This skirt is amazing ... going to wear it today ... Burning Torch Wallflower ... this is a $300 skirt
It has beading ... leaves little glass leaves on it and I love the way it is cut. I love a raw construction on such a "precious" fabric like silk. It's gorgeous.
$1.33
Another $1.33 skirt ... stretch silk by Bebe
I do not know if you can see this but it has many many seams and curves and although I usually don't buy Bebe the fit mesmerized me!
Part of my tablecloth collection. I thrifted applique table cloths for a time. I was thinking at one point of using them for quilts but luckily me and my scissors got distracted by something shiny and moved on ... this was the day of my wedding! All our tables were in the garden and I used my vintage tablecloth collection! I had to laugh cause I had a bridesmaid who told me not to use them cause they would get ruined ... If you can't use your linens at your own wedding what is the point of collecting!
DVF Skirt ... 100% Silk .. I am LOVING 100% silk items. I mean ... Love. It's love.
I cannot think of more comfortable items than a silk lined silk dress or skirt. No clue why it took me so many years to remember this! And this skirt was $1.33. It was $5 total for all three skirts ... ridiculous .. just insane ... the DVF is as you know a $300 item at retail ...
Flash back? How about a tuxedo type jacket with glorious rhinestone buttons? Oleg Casini!
You all know about me and the wool paranoia. But for $2.50 ... I can take a chance. All the stuff I bought was 50% off due to tag sales at the thrift. So fun! They change the color on Mondays ... so now I know that ...
It's wool so it won't be worn for ... awhile but fall is close enough!
Rummy and Gonzo chill surrounded by Roses ... drunk on the smell! and a meow meow meow!
