Goodwill Finds - 1940s or the Royal Wedding

 A week ago I was at Goodwill with a good friend and we saw this delightful vintage hat sitting in the window. We casually remarked that it was cute, but then moved on. Then, I returned today and found that the hat was now 1/2 off, only $2. So I bought it and had fun trying it on with different outfits in my closet. Below was my favorite combination.

Hat - thrifted $2

Dress - thrifted $4

Shoes - also thrifted $3?

Grand total of.... $9

Yes, I'm a fan of this kind of crazy hat. Now... just tell me, does it remind you more of 1940s vintage or modern British royalty? Or something totally different?

Cliche Clothes

 I have owned one Hollister shirt in my life. It was a gift. I ended up cutting it up and making something with it that never got finished.

 I don't buy clothes from America Eagle, Hollister, or Abercrombie. Reason number one is that I would die before I paid their regular prices for clothing. Reason number two is that I want to be original with what I wear and would rather not wear the same T-shirt as 200,000 other American teenagers. While I'm definitely a comfort fan (jeans, slipper boots, and fleece was my classic outfit this winter), I enjoy fashion. Especially when it's vintage inspired and/or thrifted.

 But today... I bought an America Eagle shirt.

 In my defense, it was at a garage sale where I got a bag of clothes for $3. I'm not saying it makes it right, but it was a good reason. Also, it's super long so makes a perfect layer tee under shirts that ride up. I also bought something that was pink and lacy at the garage sale. I don't wear pink. But I really like this shirt and know I will force myself to wear it.

  I may just be going against my better judgement with these clothes, but it'll simply help to balance out my wardrobe of vintage dressed and paint covered jeans. Hopefully.
