What I Wore: New Obsession edition

Newest obsession: Silk scarves (oh and vintage sheets, doilies and hankies)

Not my newest obsession: making sure my camera is charged, hence, the one picture.

Back to my new obsession. So basically, I can't leave the thrift store without a new scarf, some vintage sheet, and a doily and/or a hanky. Maybe I shouldn't go to the thrift store anymore...Better yet, maybe I just shouldn't leave the house...ever...



What I Wore: Denim on Denim edition

Let's just pretend my shirt isn't flipped up on the bottom, yeah?

I've been feeling a little uninspired this last week. Which is wierd considering how much time I have been spending on Pinterest.

Top//Target. Denim Shirt//American Eagle via TJMaxx. Jeans//TJMaxx(?). Shoes//Target. Ring//Made (ok assembled) by me, it's an old earring glued to a ring base.

 

Normally, I really llike denim on denim in either people but I'm always a little chicken to try it. So will this isn't total denim on denim (the blouse breaks it up a bit I think) I'm getting there!

 

Oh Happy Day!

Oh Hapy Day! I love this blog! Jordan Ferney and her family have been living in Paris for the past four months (color me jealous!) and now she is giving away a a week long trip for two to the City of Love and Light! Go here to enter  http://ohhappyday.com/2011/06/goes-to-paris. But just so you know, I reaaallllllyyyyy want to win :)

Oh sweet, sweet cardigans

Now I realize it's June and the blogosphere is gearing up for summer. But here in the gool ol' Warshington, it's not summer until July 5th (because it always rains on the Fourth of July. Always.) So I'm still rocking jeans, socks, converse and cardigans (It's better then the oh so prevalent socks, sandals, shorts and fleece combinations in these parts though, let me tell ya). So I saw these cardigan refashions the other day and fell in L. O. V. E. I'm going to the thrift store sometime today so maybe, just maybe, I can find some that will work. Wish a sista luck.

What I Wore: Roller Derby edition

A couple days ago, we went to roller derby! It. Was. AWESOME! Now I didn't quite know what to expect as my only experience with roller derby was from "Whip It!" but either way, I knew it would be rough and tumble.

I decided to go with a bit of a pinup vibe for my outfit du jour. Mostly becuase I found this scarf at the thrift store and needed an excuse to wear it!

I also decided to try out winged tip eyeliner and it actually worked this time! Usually, it just ends up looking more like eyesmears as opposed to eyeliner. My brother took one look at me and said I looked like Lady Gaga. Ok....

So BA!

And the ref got pummeled and broke her leg. I think this a sport I'm good with just watching....

And the best part of the whole evening....

These kids followed the mascot around for the whole quarter. It was almost more entertaining then the roller derby itself!

Thrifting Finds

Again, Value Village was good to me. I always see cute vintage sheets on other people's blogs but whenever I look, I find a bunch of Superman sheets with stains from I don't even want to know what. A couple weeks ago though, I found 5! In one trip! What the? I know. Here they are!

I loved the one on the back of the suitcase so much, I went back and bought the fitted sheet version of it too!



I forgot another one was in the wash when I took this pictire. Imagine one more really cute one with yellow flowers.



Now I need to figure out what to do with them. I really like this quilt and I'm thinking some skirts, because, you know, sister can never have to many skirts.

Pinterest isn't currently working so I guess I'll have to do it the old fashioned way. Sheesh. Found here.

Do you have any ideas?
