Yellow shoe craving solved

I finally solved the urge for yellow shoes x 2, oops :)  

I read about a site called www.gojane.com  on www.Painfullyhip.com so I go to check out the site and see that the shoes are so cheap.   I found the cutest t-strap shoes are on sale for 11.99 so I just had to have them. 

 Then I get the urge to go to Etsy.com and see if there happens to be any yellow shoes on there, just for kicks (no pun intended).  I find some amazing, vintage, mod yellow shoes for not too much more, so I got them as well because where else would I find mint condition mod yellow shoes.   I still haven't received either but I can't wait to pair these new finds with something cute, maybe one of the 6 new dresses I got yesterday at buffalo exchange. 

I traded in some old clothes I never wear at BE.  Have I mentioned how much I love Buffalo Exchange, well dammit I love it and again the people who work there are so great.  They had so many amazing dresses, the manager said they have been getting a ton of people selling but not as many shoppers, so I scored.  See my outfit below for some more of the stuff I got.

wardrobe remix for today

Hopefully my boyfriend will start helping me take pictures soon cause these webcam shots are so blurry and lame.  But at least I have been doing it everyday.  I can only hope his new d80 can take a much better pic.

Wardrobe remix for today

Here is my outfit for today.  I went to buffalo exchange and got 129$ in trade so i got a bunch of new dresses.  This one is vintage with elephant tribal print, the fabric is gorgeous.  I think its from the 50's possibly because the lining looks really old.

Belt- Buffalo Exchange (vintage)
Tights- Target
Boots- White Mt.
Earings- Multi culti
Bracelts- thrifted

Loot from thrifting

I spotted these vintage wing-tips in the special shoe case, for  fancier shoes at community thrift on Valencia .  Being that they are so beautiful with flat leather, pat n leather as well as ribbon laces and in my size I was thrilled.   They were priced at $ 17.99 but when I got to the register they were having a 50% off sale so they were really $ 9.00, AMAZING!   It was my lucky day 

                                 These vintage glasses are amazing and they were a little pricey for thrifting but also a score at $ 19.99
Vintage poly bikini, so cute. $ 5.99
Super cute striped cardigan 3.99$

Day of thrifting

Im about to go thrifting today so I choose a outfit that would be easy to get on and off. I love the print of the vintage poly shirt, its going with the trend of bright floral prints.  

Shirt- vintage acquired from buffalo exchange on my day of trades
Necklace- thrifted metal gold beads
Belt- thrifted
Jeans- Hudson, they are the best high wasted pair I own out of everything from original 70's to new. 
Shoes-thrifted by Nine West they are real wood and super cushy and comfy
