Tues Feb 9th - Modern Day Alice

I've told myself again and again for the past year that I would wear more colors on a daily basis. Judging from my posts throughout the past year, the results are generally unsuccessful. Although in my defense, I've been fancying powder blue and general pastel colors lately when I head out through the farthest corners of San Diego.

Speaking of my shopping splurges, I recently found two simply amazing stores to stop by during my San Diego sprees. Every Wednesday the Salvation Army by my area has a neat 50% off sale their entire store, which is already a treasure trove of neat little pieces. Then there's Flashbacks, an amazing affordable vintage store in Hillcrest that I simply melt for. Of the many pieces I purchased, these three vintage pieces captured my heart.





My new goal is to wear more color! I suppose it doesn't help that all of my major outerwear pieces are black, but I must work around it!

Sun Aug 3rd - Come thrifting with me!

I spent this morning raiding some more thrift stores. I actually got some things from Goodwill, which is rare since I usually don't like their prices and selection of goods. I was pleasantly surprise this time around. I'll actually post some photos of stuff I've gotten recently, since I actually took the time to photograph them today.

My outfit for today wasn't exceptionally special or great. I just wanted to throw something on that I haven't worn yet, and this dress came to mind since I just rehemmed the length. It was originally ankle-length, and I can't stand having a dress that long tangling me up as I walk.

And here are some things I've bought in the past two days. There's actually quite a bit, so I'm not going to post all of them, but it was great having all these sales come in at once. The Salvation Army around my area is always pumping out 50% off sales, so it's fun to just randomly raid them for goodies.
