resale rulz

My friend Angela does a weekly segment on her blog called “Thrifty Threads.”
Most of my wardrobe is resale or really cheap, so I’ve sent her some pics to use this year.
Including this outfit I am wearing today:

Photobucket

I’d estimate the whole outfit cost me about $50.
Shirt & Belt = various Buffalo Exchanges
Wool Gap Skirt = a thrift store recently
Thigh high cable socks = American Apparel
Payless Lela Rose Heels make another appearance.
Oh - and the free Neutrogena lipstick, again!
My hair was tied back because I left the house with it wet, but it’s been kinda fun to have it all pulled back today. So, I’m leaving it up tonight.

Still adjusting to winter wardrobe.
It’s suddenly really cold and even snowed wednesday morning!
This outfit keeps me warm with a jacket, gloves and scarf added when I leave the house.
yeahuh.

I originally signed up because my yoga studio sent out an email and I got some credit when I joined through them.

how to make a movie

(1)Director DYING to do project

(2)Actors who ACT (instead of being themselves in costumes)

(3)Well-written and told story*
*twist ending, mystery solving, saving the girl…all NOT necessary
As we watch in this touching portrayal, the girl knows what’s best for the girl.

out with the new, in with the old

The furniture I initially purchased from craigslist upon renting my loft was very lofty…
but not so practical for couch comfort.

Photobucket


So, when I saw this light green, comfy couch at the Salvation Army, a trade was in order.

Photobucket
I sold the grey chair and West Elm sectional last Sunday and my new couch came on Monday.
Much more lounge-y and apt to fulfill its purpose.
Brings in more color, too.

precious

Tomorrow is my birthday.
The first thing I am going to do is see a matinee of PRECIOUS :




Later in the day to Reunion Tower for a fancy cocktail:

Photobucket
Has a more phallic building ever been built?


Coming soon….pics of my traded out furniture.
As I am hitting up every thrift store in a 30-mile radius
searching for CRYSTAL CITY costumes, treasures are found.
One was a couch, so a furniture switch has taken place. Stay tuned……..

you're suckin' the life outta me

a tip.
Because when you go to use your digital camera, the battery is all “I’m dying! I’m dying!”
Take the batteries out after use & re-insert, as needed.
I keep my camera, its batteries and the computer cable all in a little pouch.
schweeeeeeet!
Photobucket
Saving money on batteries “in this economy” is, of course, super awesome.

more goodies

A “mini-sampler” from HOME OF THE SAMPLER.
Only $10, including shipping! Fun.

Photobucket

A box of surprises.
I have ordered once before and found the items not so useful, but was sucked in
because they offered a bonus free mini-holiday sampler with a November order.

Photobucket

This batch has some stuff I will use.
The note cards and bath products, certainly.
Many of the other items are fun to add to present wrapping.

Loot includes :
necklace, earrings, soap sample (scented the box nicely), bath bomb, note cards,
stationary sample, yarn sample, buttons, two baubles,
and a finger puppet (I’ll remove eyes, stuff with batting and catnip, sew up = cat toy)

Two items not pictured that went straight into the recycling :
•2 Christian Christmas notecards, one read : “JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON.”
•A recipe card
Both of the above were printed on home computers, to double their crappiness.

But a pretty good haul, overall!
