And what?
I was super inspired by this chick a few weeks back- she upcycled 366 pieces- one each day- of thrift store crap into cute, wearable gear. Pretty impressive. It helps a little that she appears to be petite with a good figure so a medium men's shirt already looks fantastic. Good on ya, sister- keep up the awesome work.
So what did I do? I quite possibly, had the best thirft store score of MY ENTIRE LIFE this past Friday. I was waiting around really late at work so I took a later, longer lunch and hollared at a local Goodwill. Since I'm 5'9" and fluctuating between a buck fifty and sixty any given day, I don't look quite so cute in a potato sack that I sewed darts into. So...I improvised and am fugging THRILLED at my come-ups.
I'll draw this out all week (or who am I kidding, I might only be able to get up one a week) since I can't seem to get around to blogging.
First, I went to the jammies section of the GW. I found two of the very same item- both with tags. I don't need two beeee-you-tiful dresses, so I picked out this green one.
Pro-tip: I started in the jammie section because PJs are $2.49 at the boutique as opposed to $4.99 for dresses.
...two bathroom choices for your viewing pleasure. Waist cinched with American Apparel's Sash- $4 on Amazon.
Light green, lined, embroidery at the top. I like to call it Grandma chic.
My boss told me I looked very nice today. I said thanks on the outside and cracked up on the inside. I'm wearing PJs. With heels.
And note to reader: there were three college boys lounging downstairs in a little student area where I ducked in to take this picture in a locker room off the beaten path. I bet they TOTALLY thought I was going in there to take a smash. HA! If they only knew.
