Quick outfit shot!

I went to the thrift store today to try to find some cute holiday decor but there wasn't anything great for the holidays.    However,  I found some other amazing things including a Diane Von Furstenberg dress for 7.99$  It fits perfect and is the perfect gray and black combo for work.  I also found a great wooden box and lamp at another store I stopped in on the way home. I am a fan of unique, foreign and tribal looking things for my living room so the box and lamp are a perfect fit right next to the cozy, big pile of pillows on the floor for lounging. 

Outfit details

Dress-vintage (cropped it about 6 inches)

Velvet blazer-vintage (I added the vintage button too)

Mini belt-vintage

Tights-Marshals

Boots-Etsy, vintage

Feather earrings-DIY

One of the best finds recently the DVF dress for 7.99$

The cool Moroccan style lamp and wooden box used as a side table for the futon/pillow pile.  I still need to get a proper lame shade but for now I put the metal thing (on top) that I also found at the thrift store today.

Great deal of the day!

I just got a similar black version of this DKNY shoe (it has a black wedge instead of the wicker) for 7.99 at my local thrift store today. Being that they are charging 146.00$ online for the brown version, I saved over 130$! I'll take some DKNY for 8$ any day! I know that Cheap Jap would be so proud! I also scored a really awesome 70s, brown, leather, skinny belt with amazing little brass studs and a super sheer, soft, tan, safari like tunic made by DA-NANG that has a super deep v neck which is great for by huge chest. I can wear it with a cute tank or camisole underneath. Now to the scary part. Yea, it wasn't all great deals today, read on......

Todays trip was filled with some terror as I got followed around the store for about 20 minutes by a creepy jerk. Yes, he followed me from the purse section to the women's shoes, up and down the isles too. It was one of the scariest things I have ever experienced. I was even scared to leave the store after I watched him leave. I think he figured out I knew and then walked right out of the store. I waited another 1/2 hour before walking out, myself. I have never felt so terrified that something really bad was going to happen. I figured out almost instantly that he was following and watching me, it was a strange feeling to know that my instinct worked so fast. I did score some pretty amazing pieces today so I guess it was almost worth the creepy asshole to find some great things.

Have you ever been followed? Did your instinct kick in right away like mine did?


If you are wondering, this shoe is super ultra comfortable, the leather is like butta!

Successful thrifting today

I went to a couple of my local thrift stores today and found just what I was looking for.  I must wear black/grey/white to work and I get bored easially, luckily black is huge now so it has been easy to find interesting black pieces around. 

 Today I got these amazing (studded with zippers on both sides) 80's vintage ankle boots, I was so thrilled that they fit me, when I first found them I had major doubts and was going to get them anyway to put in my Etsy store.   I was so blessed that they fit me.  I put some comfy insoles in  and now they are good to go. 

The rest of the outfit is also thrifted today except for the HnM lace leggings.  I only spent 11$ on this whole outfit minus the leggings. I had to alter the skirt a bit because it was too small, I just cut the top off and remade the waistband. The shirt is really interesting with a built in top layer that drapes down and goes around the waistband as well.
