BACK TO SCHOOL THRIFT SHOPPING

I'm trying to spend the last week of my summer to it's fullest potential, so naturally I went thrifting when a friend of mine invited me. Every time we wanted to go here it would already be closed so we were smart enough to get there early that day.

MY DAY










MY OUTFIT



Mini outfit of the day for ya.
Tshirt- Uniqlo, Shorts & Knee Highs-Target, Shoes-Boohoo.com



Meet: CELINE. She has purple hair and likes One Direction. Also a super fun thrift shop buddy!



We didn't...actually go to Boudin Bakery, here we're having some donuts and Arizona Tea at Stan's Donuts.


I walked into the thrift store with 40 bucks and expected to spend at least 20 (because lately "second hand stores" are all raising their prices to insane numbers) but I surprisingly left with 30 bucks left. Strangely enough, all the clothing pieces were labeled as $3.00 but the lady only charged us $1.50. This local thrift has by far the lowest prices and a pretty good selection, I would give it  8/10 stars :)

MY FINDS







All  pieces were $1.50 each! I'll be altering the ivory pleated skirt since it's pretty big and for a short person that skirt is a lil too long. I'm thinking about posting a "how to hem/shorten your skirt" tutorial post but I honestly can't promise anything once school starts.

**fun fact: the second I laid my eyes on the cardigan I knew I wanted it but right next to it was another one, nearly identical. Now Celine and I have matching cardi's :)







I realize all the patterns I bought are for kids but I've grown used to altering them after working on my mermaid dress. I really would like to sew up a cute jumper :)

I'm in love with my tacky cat stickers and all this miscellaneous junk I snagged for a couple bucks. The wooden bear+baby pin+heart puffs will be turned into pins sometime soon.Also those barbie hands...maybe a crown?? The tinsel will most definitely be on a headband.

Adios lovelies, I'll be back with a Back to School Lookbook-ish/Outfit of the Week shenanigan.
