Estate sale-ing some more

This estate sale trip was all about the vintage lingerie.   I bought crazy amounts of vintage bras and gurdles with store tags still on them! I dont have a picture of them yet, but tomorrow will bring an overwhelming amount of recently thrifted pictures, I promise!

I also have to leave this picture of me carrying the flour tin and pyrex dish.  It makes me look like an ideal 1950s house wife. Little does my pretend husband know, because I don't cook nor do I clean. I just like looking nice next to the pretty things.

What I wore: seeing red

I'm wearing a lot of red lately. I dont know why, but I'm really loving the color right now! 

Today was a fantastic day at work.  Seriously, nearly every single customer that came in complimented my outfit. It makes me think that red lipstick needs to become an everyday accessory!

what I wore: I sew rockabilly

Holy cow!  It has been an incredibly hot week!  It was the perfect time to pull my hair off of my neck and break in a shirt I sewed a little bit ago, but have only worn once.

She and Him and Tilley And the Wall

That could be summed up as the best night of my life.  I got to stand right in front of my hero and listen to her sing! While we waited for it to start, another Lauren and I ate pizza and I crocheted.  When Tilley and the Wall opened a few people got up and danced- including us!  Others watching laughed and recorded the dancing, but we didnt care any.

She and Him asked no pictures be taken, but I really couldn't resist one of my hero! This was my first concert and I'm hooked!

What I wore: going to she and him

I'm off to the She and Him concert! Zoe Dechanel is my hero and that I get to see her is an absolute dream come true. I couldn't ask for a better first concert!

what I wore: banjo playin'

Along with sewing, crocheting, and knitting, I am also expanding my talents this summer by mastering the banjo.  I've been taking lessons off and on for a while now.  Today is the first day I have been able to successfully play a song all the way through(pretty exciting stuff for me)!

 I feel like the picture above describes my personality perfectly.  I also think my bangs go with banjos.

time for another change

I am very excited about this change, which is pretty unique. Typically, I dislike the new style or color for a couple days, then love it.  This time it was love at first sight! 

Betty bangs!  These are the first bangs that I have truly loved on my face.  After they were cut, I actually tried to get my mom to shorten them even more, but not this time!  

This is a brand new outfit from that estate sale I truly cannot stop gushing about, sorry for that.  I'm still not over it.  This skort has such a quirky country print, with chickens and a paisley design.  Also, take note of the bowling shoes.  There was a bit of guilt ruining them for every day use, but I figure they'll get more use this way.

This summer I am teaching myself how to knit, which makes me very excited!  The thought of having all of this free time to do whatever I please really does take my stress down a notch.  If I can survive school tomorrow, the summer is basically started.

what I wore: hoarding some great treasures.

Here are the first of fourteen pairs of shorts I bought at the estate sale yesterday!  I'm not going to lie.  The horrible hoarder inside made me go back with my mother today.  I bought more! Check back in a couple hours to see even more goodies!

what I wore: shorty

This dress turned out to not be a fabulously practical one for school.  It's a bit short for sitting and raising hands.  Whoops! But when have I been practical, really?  I also have to apologize for my less than good photos today, again, whoops.

what I wore: red ruffles

Round one of wearing vintage dresses I bought this last weekend!  I love the bright red color of this dress.  The full skirt with ruffles, poofy sleeves, and my platforms pretty much make this a win-win-win outfit.

Holy cow, was it hot today or what?!  I love that it is finally time for summer.  The bright colors, warm weather, and lazy days sewing and sleeping in are so close!  I can only imagine all of the beautiful dresses, shirts, and shorts I will make.  Oh, and garage sale season is starting!  How could someone not love that??

what I wore: dreaming it is summer

I feel like school needs to end, so I can just sew, crochet, go to estate sales, and have picnics all day, every day.  

Instead of me going to what would have been the best estate sale of my life, I had to send my mother to the best estate sale of her life with the promise of me paying her back for whatever she purchased for me.  She made me the proud owner of gorgeous vintage clothing and a massive magazine from the 1960s.  I just... wasn't there to buy them, which is half the thrill.  

I'm just thinking of all the amazing sales I will go to when I'm no longer in school!  I feel better now.
