Last fall, Maikeni blogi-part of me nominated me for this sunshine award.
VI. Name three of your best thrifted finds.
| 1. Dark brown thrifted boots I've owned these for more than a year. These cost $1.00.  |
| Left photo: brown tie dyed blouse was thrifted. Middle and right photo: brown skirt and blouse were thrifted |
I like these brown boots. They are comfortable, and perfect for winter weather. I don't have to worry about my feet getting wet in them, or slipping and falling. Because yes, I'm clumsy like that.
| 2. Thrifted pointy toe black boots I just got these in the fall of 2012. These were about $2.00.  |
| Left photo: black, grey, and cream skirt is thrifted. Middle photo: purse is thrifted. |
| 3. Thrifted tan suede wrap around ankle booties I think I got these in the late summer of 2012. I think I paid around $2.00.  |
| Left photo: brown lace blouse and brown skirt were thrifted. Middle photo: belt was thrifted |
I know Maiken only asked for my 3 best, but I'm going to show more. That way, I can pretend I'm some rebellious rule breaker or something.
| 4. Thrifted mulberry corduroy pants I got these in early fall of 2012. These were probably $2.00.  |
| Left photo: tie dye t-shirt was thrifted Right photo: black embroidered blouse with cream sleeves was thrifted |
| 5. Purple Suede ankle boots I've had these for more than 6 years. I think these were $10.00. I didn't buy them at a thrift store, but at a resale shop. That's why they cost more than my other stuff.  |
| Right photo: black dress, and purple blouse underneath were thrifted. |
| 6. Thrifted Lace Blouse I've also had this blouse for more than 6 years. It might have cost $2.00.  |
| Right Photo: pink blouse and denim skirt were thrifted. |
| 7. Thrifted fringed cream cardigan I've had this for more than 5 years. It was about $2.00.  |
| Both left and right photo skirts were thrifted. |
| 8. Thrifted lace skirt I've had this for more than 2 years. I paid $1.00.  |
| Top right photo: My red wine colored ankle boots were thrifted. |
How did I determine best? I based it on comfort, how I feel when I wear them, how often I wear them, or how long I've had them.

| Speaking of things I've had for a long time. At the beginning of this week, I rediscovered this old art journal, from fall of 2008. I used watercolor, oil pastels, and collage |
 |
| It says: This book is the journey, a dedication of my moments. |
This journal was sitting there, in a stack of journals, unfilled and forgotten. Does that mean my moments were unfilled and forgotten? ;)
I've been listening to this song a lot on repeat.
I go through these periods where I just can't get enough of it. Sigh.
