Mike and I woke up this morning with the only plan of the day: adventure. We were going to set out and play with our new toys (read: films and cameras and what not) but the day went a bit differently (but still fun!). We headed to Urban Outfitters to spend our plethora of giftcards but were sorely saddened by the lack of fun home goods. Instead I snagged a dress and ruffled vest and Mike got some film (of course he did). Afterwards we decided to hit up the Goodwill Outlet store in Berry Hill. Good thing we did! We snagged some lovely items! Today's haul included: 2 Polaroid one-step cameras (yes, I know.. more!), 1 Polaroid Swinger Model 2 camera, a few bags (including a cool camera bag for Mike!), a Royal Traveler Carry-all, a sweet suitcase, etc. The typewriter came in the mail today via our win on Ebay! Isn't she pretty? We're going to try to get a replacement Royal emblem but other than that, she's perfect! I also snagged a burnt-orange peacoat and a sweet mustard-yellow military-style jacket. They both have awful shoulder pads (as pictured) but I'm going to rip them out shortly! I can't wait to welcome Autumn with fun bold colors!
Today's outfit:
dress: forever 21 $25, cardigan: forever 21 $23, belt: ?, flats: kmart $13
We came home and I worked on some stuff for the 'zine that some lovely ladies and I are doing, and now I'm waiting to get ready for work! Phew! It's been a busy day and there's so much more to do tomorrow! Mike's step-sister, Laine, and her friend are coming up tomorrow to spend the night I guess. I'm supposed to work but I'm going to see if I can't take off and hang out with them instead. (shh!) I know I only work 2 nights a week, but sometimes they're just THE most inconvenient nights EVER!
Hope you all have a lovely Friday night!
xoxo
Ekkk I wish I could find the stuff you find!

ReplyDeleteEeee, super cute finds! And both of those coats are absolutely gorgeous. I don't suppose you fancy becoming a personal thrifter? Haha. I know I've said it before but I'll say it again, I wish we had thrift stores in the UK (charity shops just aren't quite the same).

I specially love the yellow jacket!
ReplyDeleteAh! I want all those things! Okay, well actually I've pretty much thrifted all those things, but my typewriter is in Washington... I'm going to have to pick it up on my way through so I can type stuff up. I love the feeling of physically typing on a typewriter.
ReplyDeleteIf you ever want to unload some of the goods, give me a jangle;)
