Wardrobe Wednesday - Sunday Thrifting

Sunday was pretty much the best day ever. Call me a consumer or shallow. But oh my. Rachael took me shopping on 19th street in the Heights, and there were so many good shops! New and thrift and vintage!

I bought so many lovely dresses, I can't wait to style them for the blog and to wear them around!

Here is what I wore! 

Thanks Rach for the photos!

Wardrobe Wednesday - Green and Spotty

So one of my goals for this year is to do one wardrobe post a week... I started doing them last year and I just lost time.. I want to make an effort to get away from my rushed and grainy staff room pics haha. Well here is one we took just before we left for home last year.

The dress is one of my best deals ever. I got it for a couple of dollars at the Value Village on 23rd in the Heights. And I just LOVE it. The shoulders are a little crazy but with a blazer they are totally dampened. I love the green polka dots and the sweet frill on the wrap edge. I hardly ever like wrap dresses but I adore this one!

Op Shop link up - excitement!

I am happy to say that I found the coolest blog yesterday. Max is a cool English expat living a lovely life in small town New  Zealand. She has a super sweet blog and a link up I am really excited about.

By now y'all know that I love thrifting for dresses - but it doesn't stop there, I like any sweet vintage find I come across! If I could my house would be filled with treasures from second hand stores/op shops/ thrift stores/ antique stores (choose definition for awesome bargains in preloved condition for what ever language you follow). 

Max has a link up called "op shop show off" which I am happy to say I will be joining as often as possible!

My first show off is a set of martini glasses in rose pink glass with white etching. I found them at Goodwill for $3 for the set!!! Whhhhaaaaa? I can't wait to have a cocktail in them with a lady pal : ) 

Thank you phone app for creating a tidy collage of my shots :P

If you love to thrift or find bargains in op shops you should take a look at the link - lots of fun - cos the second best past apart finding bargains - telling people how good the bargain is!

Thanks Max! 

OOTD - I look like a big pink jelly bean!

I love my new dress! Such a bargain. It is very 80's, very pink, and its in great knick!

I snapped a few photos in the kitchen at work today. I am trying to do it really quick and not crack up laughing. I couldn't keep a straight face!

The view from 34!

Managed one full length shot before I started giggling.

Trying to get a serious face on.

Lost it.

I got sass. Yes I do.
