Thrift Store Challenge | Part Two

We had so much fun doing the thrift store challenge, I'm already planning on heading out again with some other friends to see how well they score at the store. Here's the last round from the first challenge, Allie's winning first place again (in my mind), with mine being a look I was considering purchasing and squirreling away for a day when I find myself with child. (No hints, just good planning.) I think Kyle's picks make a perfect day to evening look that can easily transition from on the job (photography session) to out for drinks with friends.

Thrift Store Challenge | Part One

Three friends, one thrift store, six outfits. Our original plan was to spend Saturday afternoon at our favorite Canton Salvation Army on a quest for one outfit each, but lucky us, we found two each! It might seem like a crazy challenge, but with a little patience, creativity, and help from friends, it's totally doable. I promise. Finding shoes was a little tricky for us girls, so we just stuck with the kicks already on our toes. But other than that, the day was a total success! Here are our first looks of the day.

Guest Blogging at Freckled Nest

Instead of today's usual Inspired By: Fridays post, I participated in a show-and-tell guest blog for Leigh-Ann at her blog, Freckled Nest. Head on over to check out my five favorite finds, and maybe you will be inspired to go treasure hunting at the thrift store this weekend!

Sometimes I do silly things.

I've known for quite a while that there are two things I have a very difficult time resisting. Pretty vintage clothes, and a good deal. Last weekend at the Canton Antique Expo, I discovered the third thing I can't resist. Apparently, vintage little girls' clothes for a dollar a piece. I mean, can you blame me? The fact that I don't have any near plans for children, much less the certainty of a little girl...? Minor details.

I showed them to Phil and then reassured him that there weren't any cute little boys' clothes, or I would have bought them too. But I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for a little girl someday! My mom just told me the other day that she had the grandest time dressing me up and doing my hair. I hope to someday be able to do those fun things with a little darling of my own.
