Thriftastic

I know I'm sporadic in my posting and I apologize for that. When I found out today was Thrift Day over at Everybody Everywhere, I knew I had to get a post in. If you have read this blog at all, you know that I love to go to the thrift store. I wanted to wear everything thrifted in this post but I settled for 2/3 :) I love this skirt that I got from Amanda at their pop up sale (I can't wait for the one next weekend!). It is a tad too big and too long but I love it so I wear it anyway. If anyone has a tip on how to make it smaller and shorter without ruining the bottom, I would love to hear how it can be done. Maybe cut off the waistband and sew in new elastic?

Thrift | Everybody, Everywear

Thanks to this inspiration, I wanted to do a special thing for you all. I came up with the idea for having Thrift Week next week. The idea is to try to wear the majority of things in each outfit that I have found thrifting and maybe even post some of my thrift tips or favorite thrift stores. I hope to do at least a couple of posts next week! (fingers crossed) :) If anyone wants to join me, feel free!

    That skirt is made of awesome! I love thrift week. I was getting so annoyed with xmas, consumerism blablabla that I did something just like it the week leading into xmas. I was totally smug about it too (but you are not!).

    I do love it! I think you have to have a lot of patience and see the good in the not so good. Plus, thrift stores are way less gross than they were even a couple of years ago.

    You should do it again! It will be really fun.  I'm going to try to not be smug.  However, I might brag a bit about some of the cute stuff I've found... :)

    Isn't it the cutest! That's why I've been scared to try and alter it because I don't want to wreck it.
