No Standing

     Hello! This is will be a short one, mostly pictures. This is what I wore for my first day of college. For the first time I in years, I didn't have my outfit planned for the first day at least a week before classes began. This time, I went crazy the night before trying to decide what to wear. I usually like wearing something new on first days, but this outfit is just a mixture of pieces from past outfits I've worn.
     These pictures were not taking on the first day though, I didn't have my camera. Instead I wore the outfit again to a concert I went to today (Darren Criss) and my friend took a few pictures on the street outside a police department (hence the title "no standing").

haha, I couldn't resist posting this one with Darren Criss ;D

What I wore:

Dress-by Tramp; Century 21 $21

Vest- JCPenny Decree, $20

Bag- Urban Outfitters, on sale for $19.99

Sneakers- Converse, $29.99

Belt- thrift, $1.96

Necklace-Forever 21, $5.80

Thanks for reading!

Goodwill Hunting

 I've been waiting to do some good thrift shopping for a while and Goodwill definitely made it worth the wait. There were so many great pieces! At one point I just started throwing anything I  liked in my cart and crossed my fingers that it fit. Goodwill is one of my favorite places because it's ALWAYS cheap, no matter what. Twenty-five dollars for a dress at Buffalo Exchange? No thanks, I'll pass. I'd rather buy and great one for $5.95 at the Goodwill.  It's just the greatest feeling to know that you've bought something truly unique for a price that's so good it should be illegal (but not really, because we like those prices),
     I included a few pictures of things I liked, but didn't buy because they either didn't fit, or just weren't flattering to my height/shape.

              What I liked but didn't buy

What I bought

This one lokos kind of weird in the photo but it's actually a really 

cute sunflower crop top with frills at the sleeve and bottom.

The sweater, bag and belt have become instant favorites of mine. I haven't worn the romper (I'm going to turn it into a dress!) or the top. I hope to soon though!                                                                                       

These prices are estimated, because I don't remember...

Sweater-$5

Romper-$8

     Top- $5

   Bag-  $2.95

Belt (worn with romper in photo)- $1.95                                        

Thanks for Reading!                        

Wouldn't It Be Nice

     Wouldn't it be nice if bathing suits were made like they were in the 40s/50s?  I think so.
