On my own.

Lesson learned: going thrifting by oneself is both a dangerous thing and a beautiful thing. I usually get a heavy case of guilt whenever I drag anyone along to go treasure hunting with me, especially if they themselves won't be digging. Today I ventured out on my own and it was like the thrifting gods smiled down on me and said "Yes child, come forth and claim your prize..."

 

 

 

I'm always on the hunt for flannels and button-ups and this one is the most perfectly cut gingham print shirt.

I literally ran and cut off a mother and daughter duo browsing the dress rack when I saw this little number peaking out. I mean... c'mon.

And my crown jewel of the day goes to this magnificant 100% suede sherling jacket. I've always wanted a coat similar to the one Jenny wears in Forest Gump when they meet in Washington D.C. and I believe I have found it. Very 70's chic and oh so me.

The woods are dark and deep.

This is my very first attempt at shooting anything at night, and I must say the experience was a bit terrifying. Within minutes we started hearing the strangest animal noises in the not so far distance and it totally freaked us out. But I've always had this vision of shooting in the middle of a deserted street, lit only by a car's headlights. Must try it again soon, perhaps in a less scarier woods with more sensible shoes. 

The thrift gods blessed me the day this dress came into my life! It has everything you could ever want: that scandalous "is it a dress or is it a shirt" length, rhinestones, a tie dye/acid washy sort of midnight blue pattern, and fringe! Needless to say, it is my absolute favorite and the best part is it only cost me about $2.
