For some reason this turned burgandy (not a favorite colour) in the photo, in actuality it's plum! Yum!
Today a thrift store in my neighborhood (Neighborhood Thrift Store...the name says it all!) had a wonderful sale that periodically pops up! The $7 bag sale. Anything you can fit into a paper grocery bag for $7. The Big Sis and I went together and managed to cram all of our stuff into one bag and split the cost. My half of the bag ended up being 6 dresses, 1 romper, 1 top, 2 skirts, for me and 2 jeans for The Kidlet. Not too shabby for $3.50!!!
When I got home I promptly went to town cutting up the things that were "almost cute other than...." I am pretty much happy with how they all turned out other than the sea foam skirt, that could stand to be shorter. Clearly I like things just above the knee. I am a short girl and long things just accentuate it.
I will post all the pieces I am leaving alone tomorrow. Seriously, I broke it down, everything came down to being .29 cents a piece. YESSSS!
I love thrifting. Seriously. I feel so bad for people that don't enjoy it.
Lovies and lucky deals,

Thank you so much Tess! I'll admit the hemline was an accident, I am not cool enough to have planned that myself! :-)

What great deals! Sometimes you just have to alter an item and it looks 100 times better.
Um, okay. I need to go thrifting more often, clearly. I always look at the 'frumpy' clothes and think, "Nah, not for me". Now I've seen exactly what can be done, I'm excited! :D

p.s. I hope I didn't already leave a similar comment on another post. I'm always composing comments in my head for blog posts while I'm reading so I don't remember if I was just thinking of a comment or actually left one. Too bad it can't happen instantly like that! Ramble ramble ramble!
