Thrift Finds

These are my thrift finds from last week, minus this amazing cat purse. I love each piece so much, but the little blue dress has to be my favorite. I'm actually wearing it as I type this. I plan on living in it for the rest of my life.

I've needed a plain ole' white button up for so long now, and was so delighted when my mom pulled this one from a rack. (I'm training her well!) It's exactly everything I ever wanted in a button up! Every time I wear it I look like I'm on my way to an interview or business meeting but I don't care because it makes me feel classy.

I'm a sucker for thermals, and I'm a huge sucker for anything floral. Two birds, one stone.

I looove the full skirt on this dress. I can't stop twirling when I wear it!

This baby has made it's way to number one, number two, and number three on my "Favorite Dresses, Ever" list.

The print is just simply da bomb!

THE Bag

This is, without a doubt, my greatest find yet. It's the bag. It is just simply the one. It's perfect in every aspect. That's even an understatement. The floral is obviously what caught my eye. Then I noticed the cats, and instantly had a mini seizure.

The amazing vintage print isn't the only mind-blowingly perfect thing about this bag. It also happens to be a Mary Poppins Bag. What does that mean, you ask? If you ask Urban Dictionary it'll tell you that it's "a purse that is tiny, but apprears to hold huge amount of items in it." You know, the kind of bag you can pull full floor lamps out of? Yep, I got myself one right here.

Each individual kitty is absolutely adorable in their own way, too. The kitties in the picture above and the picture below are my two favorites.

I love this purse so much I cuddled it while I slept last night. Just kidding! Maybe...

Thrift Finds - Pattern Jackpot

I found sooo many lovely patterns on this past weekend's thrift trips. There wasn't a single thing I bought that didn't have an obnoxious, bright, gorgeous pattern on it. I scored two dresses and a skirt at goodwill, and another dress, two more skirts, and a belt (that failed to take pictures of) at a hole-in-the-wall thrift store in town. I also found two mugs at a thrift store who's proceeds go to an animal rescue sanctuary called Brother Wolf. I wish I could have found more to buy from there, but they don't carry many clothing items, mainly just housewares.

(The one on the left is probably my favorite!) 

 (This one has a 90s feel to it I think)

Every once in a while you come across an article of clothing that not only fits like a glove, but looks gorgeous on you and compliments you in all the right places. This dress is that perfect piece for me. It feels like it was made for me! I can't wait to wear it everyday of my life this summer!

I love every little detail about it. The pattern is perfect, the band around the waist is lovely, I love the straps and how the dress shows skin but its still very lady like. I think I'm in love.

And still going along with the pattern theme (also what seems to be a flowery pattern theme) here are the two mugs I got to add to my small collection.

 (The pink on the inside is just precious!!)

I'm pretty sure that the second one is handmade. Its uneven in thickness, the painting looks hand done, and there's one last clue that makes me believe it wasn't massed produced:

Nothing on the bottom!! The possibility that it was handmade makes me love it that much more.

Also, the thrift store benefiting Brother Wolf was full of little critters in it! I quickly made friends with this adorable kitty who was so friendly and oh so sweet!

What a cutie pie!! That's definitely my kind of store.
