Last Saturday our family had an early Christmas celebration, opening presents, a great dinner, taking family photos by the tree after too many glasses of champagne… The whole 9 yards!
I also got Sam to take a few shots of me, and give or take, my husband is a great photographer! So here we go, my outfit of the day!
Boots: Corso Como $6 – Steeple People
Dress: Anthropologie – $15 – Clothes Mentor
Scarf: Thirfted back in my NYC days
Cardigan: Mossimo $7
So here you have it, my very inexpensive, but fun Christmas outfit! Thrifting will never be substituted by shopping in my world!
I did it, I went and bought my first pair of vintage ear-rings. My grandma’s ear rings don’t count, because I didn’t pay a dime ( or a ruble, if you like) for them. Now these were a pair I got from Steeple People. Took my friend Zhanna there today. And she loved it! We also checked out the local Buffalo Exchange and there was a black Coach bag that I fell in love with, and you know how much I love vintage Coach purses, but I wasn’t willing to pay $24 for it. So I walked away from it. I know that it would’ve found a great home with me, but not for this much money.
I was also trying to find some bright colored jeans, and alas – that was unsuccessful.
Anyways – today I got:
1. 1980′s enamel ear rings. Don’t worry, I am going to clean those with rubbing alcohol before putting them on!
(Sorry for the quality of the picture – the writing above the earrings says – 1980′s pierced 2 – ) Yes, these cost me only 2 BUCKS!
2. Crocheted white shawl! I really really REALLY hope it’s hand-made
I know my couch looks good wearing this I promise to take pictures wearing it MYSELF!
3. A Crochet Kit! Which I am not going to use the way it’s intended. I have finally decided that I have time to open an etsy shop, so some cool things are about to come This is some Victorian stocking pattern, which is just cool to see, because that’s vintage for sure!
4. Some free Star Wars! And a few Economists. This was for Sam. Star Wars were more of a joke, and the Economists were for him to see if he wanted to subscribe to that mag!
I promise to take pictures wearing it MYSELF!
