Its time for this!

After my last post I decided that it was more than time for this! I went through all my clothes. Let me tell you, it wasn't easy to let these go, but now they need a good home. I'd hate to just give them to Goodwill, so I figured maybe I can find someone this way, that would like to have them.
If I remember right its 15 dresses, like 9 shirts and 5 skirts. But it might be more if I find some more. They are pretty much all vintage, but maybe a few things. Here are some pictures of most of them. They are mostly size S, a few are XS or M, but I wear S and they all fit me. I don't care if you want to resell them yourself or whatever, I just need my closet space back. haha ;)
So if you want this as a lot, email me at .... Whoever emails me first will get them. I will make sure and post as soon as its gone. I don't know how much it costs to ship all of these, so I'm just gonna say $40 for everything and that includes shipping.
Email me for all the details.
I took my email off this post, in case you wondered. I contacted the first one who emailed me about the dresses. Thanks for all the emails!!

I wanted to post some new photos of an amazing little black and white dress I found at Goodwill too, but since my closet is about to die it was crazy wrinkled when I wanted to put it on. Grrr!!
Once I get it looking good again I'll post some photos, though.

Hey baby, are we losing touch?

I have been so bad about my blog lately. I was actually just going to write that I probably wont be posting on here in a while but when I signed in I thought I could at least post one outfit while I'm at it. So you know what that means, I cant stop. I need to just try harder. haha




40's/50's junior dress: Goodwill $4
Belt: thrifted $1
Cowboy boots: flea market $15

I was having bad luck at Goodwill when a girl suddenly came out of the dressing room and hung up this wonderful dress that didn't fit her. So, as soon as she was gone I took it and it fits perfectly!
The also had an amazing yellow shift dress that fit me perfectly but it was pretty much just falling apart. I almost still bought it, but that would have just made me more sad.

And here are my reasons for the bad treatment of this blog...
I'm sure some of you remember this little monsieur, Kingsley. I guess I just really needed a place to post this photo, and if I can blame him a little for this, why not?!



But this one really has been taking up a lot of my time, Silvio.
My lovely little pug puppy. 7 weeks old, crazier than hell and so much fun!



But enough dog stories for now. Its good to be back.
And to everyone who has been leaving me comments, I really appreciate them all, I'm just now getting around to responding etc.

Sailor Shirts & Belts

I had decided not to go thrifting for a while, but today I got really bored. So I went to Goodwill, to look for a new book to read...yeah right! I did actually get a book, but I also looked at the clothes. I found this adorable sailor shirt at half price.


Shirt: Goodwill $2
Jeans: Goodwill $3
Shoes: Target $20
Button detail. They look just like the anchor from my tattoo :)
I also bought another belt. Something I really needed.. haha
I had to re-organize my belts a little and while I had most of them out I thought, I might as well take a picture. I actually go online to look at my clothes, because its so hard to find stuff in my closet! so I consider this a reference. The leather belt with the flowers right in the middle is the new one.

Boots & Indiana Summer

I had some really good luck finding some cowboy boots this week!
I found a pair of Nocona boots at Goodwill for only $7.50! They were on the top shelf in the glass case lying flat, so I guess nobody noticed them. They were also half off, which made it even better.
Jeremy played a show on saturday and I was gonna wear my new blue dress, but my friend Lauren wore a blue dress already. It would have been funny if we had matched perfectly, including boots etc, but I also wanted to wear my shift dress, so I went with plan B.
I'm super tall btw haha.


Shift Dress: Goodwill $4
Boots: Goodwill $7.50

Today we had perfect weather, so me and Jeremy decided to take our dog Kingsley for a walk.




It was really fun and the first time I got to wear my flower skirt in years!
I bought it several years back, when I still lived in Germany and I left it behind when I moved to Indiana. The last time I visited, my mom told me about it and some other clothes I still had laying around. I was really excited about the skirt and I've been wanting to wear it forever.


On Jeremy
Shirt: Thrifted $1
Pants: H&M ?
Justin Boots: Goodwill $4
On Me
Shirt: Target $5
Belt: Goodwill $1
Skirt: C&A $10
Sandals: Goodwill $2
P.S

This Weeks Finds Part 2

Here is part 2. I thought it was too much for one post. I need to post more often, but I didn't find any time until now. Anyway.. Me, Jeremy and some friends took a little trip to a record store this weekend. It was supposed to be really cool and have lots of vinyl. We found some great records. But the thing that was most exciting for me was, that we stopped at every Goodwill on the way up there! I got super lucky. I never have any luck fining anything that's not from the 60's or newer and my size. But this time I found 2 wonderful dresses from the 50s. They fit perfectly. The first one I found was this one. It looks like it's never even been worn.



50's Dress: Goodwill $5
Hats: Free
Shoes: Target $20
A few minutes later I found this beauty. Its my new favorite dress :)
It doesn't have a tag, only a little name tag that reads Janice Phelps. Maybe she made it herself.
I'm so tempted to go back and look if they put out more 50's dresses, but its quite a long drive.


50's Dress: Goodwill $5
Belt: Goodwill $1
Shoes: Thrifted $1.50

My last find of the week was this belt. Its leather and I think, its handpainted. I'm in love!
Goodwill: $1
I hope everyone had a great weekend :)
