The wicked witch is dead. I am not usually a fashion blogger.but what the heck why not? Cardigan: Merona- thrifted at Value Villiage $4. Strapless Dress: Merona thrifted at Goodwill $4.99 (brand new with tags). Bangles: assorted from Yokefellow and Walmart $8. Tights: George brand @ Walmart $5? Booties: Cato $19.99. In the next year I hope to do more "fashion" blogs- mainly to show how thrift store items do not have to look like thrift store items. Stay tuned! I never thought I would. I am no tennis shoe...

Confessions Of A Thriftshopaholic: May 2012

http://thriftshopaholic.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

I think I have driven myself mad with wedding details lately. The other day, I took on the task of practicing my wedding hair and makeup. I wanted a vintage/pin up look for the pictures. I like it for the most part. Then I started playing with my clip in extensions. Chris hates them lol. I also started my brooch bouquet, its not complete and what I did finish took me a few hours to assemble. I gotta hide the pink flowers, reshape it and reinforce some of the brooches.

Confessions Of A Thriftshopaholic: Mid Century Modern

http://thriftshopaholic.blogspot.com/2012/07/mid-century-modern.html

I am on a Mid Century Modern kick lately. Chris' dad gave us a green chair a few months back. Then the next piece I bought was a dresser that we are using as a media cabinet for our tv. Ignore all the crap in the foreground ;). When I got the dresser, the night stand was thrown in for $5 more.heck why not? My third piece I have bought is a beautiful ottoman. It opens up and has storage inside! For only $7 it was a score! D Until next time ( and hopefully not two months) XOXO! North Carolina, United States.

Have you ever been to a thirft store and found a wooden piece but it is worn out, the bones are good but the finish is not? Don't over look it because the finish is scratched.use some Old English and about 5 minutes you can go from old and busted to new hotness. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). North Carolina, United States.

Confessions Of A Thriftshopaholic: Swag...I have it.

http://thriftshopaholic.blogspot.com/2013/02/swagi-have-it.html

I commented and the seller agreed to meet with me the following day. I paid for my purchase and took my baby home even though I had no clue where it was going to live. Now I have a light fixture that is in the same era of our home! Love it. To top it off its in the shape of a tulip! If I would have bought this piece today it would have been so expensive because of all the metal and thick glass. I love items from the past because they were made to last and not made to be replaced. View my complete profile.
