Adventures In Thrifting:: Part 2

After work yesterday I went to pick up my things that were on hold at the WCS Thrift Store.
Those ladies were so nice.
I will definately be back in there.

I bought another slip.

I don't know what it is about slips.

They always tend to catch my eye.

I ffinally found a pair of ankle boots.

I only paid $7.00 for these!!

What a score!!

I also bought a silk scarf for $2.00.

I love this one.

I didn't get the belt.

Because I just wasn't feeling it afterwards.

I have desided that I'm going to buy myself a netbook for my birthday.

And a replica Balenciaga Handbag.

I know that it goes agianst my new rule.

But I desided that I was going to get it before the rule.

So it's still fair.

Right??

Adventure's In Thrifting:: Part 1.

I had the day off today.
So I desided to go thrifting.
I went to two different stores.
One is a thift store at the church down the street from my parents house.
The other is the Women & Childrens Services Thrift Shop.

I first went to the thrift store at the church.

I purchased this half slip to dye and silk screen something on.

And for only .50 it's worth it!!

I also got this silk && chiffon nightie romper for .50

I'm going to dye it a dusty rose color I think.

And for $1.00 I purchsed this silk Asian dress.

Then I went to the CFS Thrift Store.

And put a floral silk scarf,

A pair of Toffee Ankle Boots,

A medium brown belt with silver hardware,

And a grey lace && silk night slip,

On hold.

I rode my bike over there.

And forgot to bring my basket for my bike.

So I'm going to go back tomorrow after work and pick everything up.

:)

I also think I found my party dress.

It's a white floral dress.

With bright water colored flowers on it.

Anyone done any good thrifting lately??

Vintage Inspired DIY Jewery Box.

I woke up early this morning.
Saw it was gross out.
And desided to clean out under my bed.
I found a shadow box I forgot I had.

I thought to myself this would make a GREAT vintage inspired jewelry box.
So I got started.

Supplies::
Unfinished Shadow Box.
Paint.
Paint Brushes.
Cardboard.
Fabric Glue.
Pages of a book.

Step 1:
Paint your shadow box a vintage-ish color.
Mine had been previously painted lavender.
So I kept the front lavender.
And painted the rest a "Dusty Blue".

Step 2::
Glue the pages of the book inside the shadow box.
As well as on the glass on the top.

Step 3::
Measure and cut carboard to fit into the shadow box.
To make different sized sections.

Step 4::
Cover each piece of cardboard in vintage or vintage inspired fabric.

Step 5::
Glue the pieces of cardboard together agian.
Creating seperate sections for different sized jewelry.

Step 6::
After everything is dried you can place your jewelry in your new vintage inspired jewelery box!!!

Rain, Rain, Go Away.

It's rainning out.
:(

Which means I can't go for my walk.
I can't go get my morning third cup of coffee.
And I can't go to the Flea Market.

I will most likely stay inside and look through websites for the perfect birthday presents today.
I need to make a list of what I want for my birthday soon.
The big 2-1 is ALMOST HERE.

I will leave you with a few of my favorite photo's.

Lay-Away At The Consignment Shop??

I went on a bike ride this afternoon.
So I went to the consignment shop to see how much I had made.
And found out that they've got lay-away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Betseyville bag was still there.
So I snatched that up.
YES I GAVE IN!!

I also found a brand new pair of A&F Distressed Jeans that fit me perfectly.
I needed to find a new pair since my thrifted Hollister Distressed Jeans are in MAJOR distress.
And need to be retired.
After 6 years of wearing them none stop I think it's .O.K. to stop wearing them.
I'm thinking of making a purse out of them.
So I can still have them with me.
:)

I was looking for work pants.
But couldn't find any that fit right.
:(

Or work shirts.
I hate being so small sometimes.

My mother did offer to buy me some pants last night.
So we went to the outlets.
Where I went to Rue21 and got two pairs of plain black dress pants.

We also went to BCBG Max Azria.
I tried on dresses for a friends wedding in July.
I didn't get anything.
We were just looking for ideas.

Now I'm just relaxing for the rest of the day.
Since we didn't go to the record store Vintage Vinyl today.

Maybe we'll go to the flea market tomorrow.
Depending on how nice it is out.
It looks like it wants to rain right now.
I'm so glad I got home before it started!!

Any good plans for the weekend??

NYX Bundle Of Joy SALE. ++++ First Day Of Work

Good ole NYX.
There having there promo agian.
This time it's the "Bundle Of Joy" Sale.
It's sadly only to the .U.S.
Otherwise shipping would be INSANE!!!

I want to get the lashes bundle.
And the lipstick bundle.
But I've got to wait till my check get's here.
Shipping is going to be a bit steep at $11.31 USD.
But I guess it's worth it for 23 sets of lashes,
And 33 lipsticks.
I just don't know where I would put all that stuff right now.
I just reorganized my makeup collection.
And still BARELY have room for what I've got.
ERGGGGGGGGGGGGG.

Onto the boring stuff.
I started my new job today at Kmart.
Yeah I know.
But it's a job people!!

I ended up breaking my belt this morning.
And had to find a new one as soon as I got to work.
Thankfully I found a small enough one.
For only $1.00 USD!!!

I'd say that it's .O.K. to buy new things as long as there on super clearence.
I'd show you all a picture but it's just a basic black belt.

Uniform is boring.
White collar shirt,
Black dress pants,
Black flats.
And our name tags.

I had to take out my nose ring and monroe piercings.
But the sales manager said I could put a tiny stud in my nose.

Today we just watched horrific 1980's tapes on work safety and stuff like that.
I was enjoying the music though.
All in all today wasn't too bad.
I've got to go back in tomorrow at 11:00 .A.M. till whenever.
Most likely till 5:00 .P.M.

After work tomorrow my mother wants to bring me out to dinner and shopping.
We'll see what happens though.
;)

Finally New Shampoo && Conditioner +++ Consignment Shop Adventures.

I finally got new shampoo and conditioner.
It wasn't exactly the one I wanted.
But the price was reasonable.
And it's a pretty decent product from what I've tried thus far.
It's a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
Which hasn't made my hair heavy.
Or effected my color.
[[ YET ]]

I also brought some stuff to a consignment shop in my town.
When I went I saw a Betseyville bag I wanted.
But it was $38.00.
And I wasn't paying that at a consignment shop.

We went back today to bring more stuff.
[[ Yes I'm getting rid of a lot of my unneeded clothing!! ]]
And it was still there.
Still $38.00.

I'm going to go back this weekend.
Bring more stuff.
Check my balance.
And see how much it would be with my balance.
Let's hope it's still there when I go back!!
It's in PERFECT condition.
It seems to have never been used.
But I still refuse to pay that much for a bag at a consignment shop.
I'm sorry.

I own 3 Betseyville bags.
All of which I paid less then $25.00 for at RETAIL stores.
There is NO WAY I'm paying $38.00 at a CONSIGNMENT shop.

Anyway enough of that.
I think I'm going to start thrifting and swapping for all my cloths from now on.
There's not much reason for buying new things.
It's better for the enviroment.
And sure as hell better for my damn wallet.

So yeah that's my rant for the night.
Hope all are well.
:)

Inspiration Photos..

Here are the inspiration for my new hair cut.
Which yes I did myself.
CUT && COLOR.

And now some wonky photos of my hair.
Please remember that it is early.
And I have no makeup on.

It's actually redder then it looks in the photos.
But for some reason my camera is a piece of crap.
And is showing it as dark brown.
