Today was a good day!
I woke up early, had coffee with a dear friend and work wasn’t too slow. I love it when the day just seems to float on by, while I sit at work, listening to my headphones and working the time away.
When 5 o’clock finally came around, I high-tailed it over to my FAVORITE thrift shop, Unique, to meet up with another dear friend, Jessica, and do some thrifting on VIP Thursday!
She snapped a few photos of my outfit in the parking lot, so I could share with you all what I threw on this morning at 6 am!
I figure I’ll try and squeeze shorts in for as long as I can since summer is dwindling to a close and on will come fall with its leggings and layers. So I wore my favorite pair of high-waisted jean shorts, which are actually NOT thrifted (shocker, I know) and are just so comfortable-something that I can’t say for most things jean. The plaid shirt I got from the biggest thrift store I’ve ever seen in Texas while visiting my sister (it’s true what they say, everything IS bigger in Texas, including their thrift stores)
Raybans are from New York, and the earrings are from Forever 21. I must say that Forever or 21, however they want to be called, is pretty much my favorite place to shop when it comes to accessories.
HAD to include a pic of my new TOMS. They are my pride and joy, I’m so so happy with my purchase! They have writing on them that says, “If the world was a village of 100 people…”, then it goes on to say how the population would be when it came to things like diseases, poverty, etc. From an activist stand point, they’re really great ways to get the word out on the poverty in the world. And from a fashion stand point…well….I mean, just look at them! They’re epic!
There’s a special place in my heart for TOMS shoes, first because of the fact that it started out in Argentina and that’s where my family is from! These shoes are classic Argentinian style and when I visited there about a year ago, I saw SO MANY PEOPLE wearing them. It was really cool. TOMS is just such a great way to make a difference in someones life for not so much money, while also getting something I enjoy.
I got some fabulous finds at the thrift store tonight, probably will be posting about them soon! Until then:)
i do LOVE those shorts on you! :)
what kind of car is that your leaning on? that’s not a money g3, is it? OMG if it is!!! and i’m def diggin on the shorts, too!
My sisters and I were hanging out the other night, and your blog came up. Turns out, we all read it rather religiously, and adore it and think you’re still the cutest, raddest, chica ever.
Anastasia mentioned this particular entry because you talk about Argentina, and it makes her think of ARGENTINA, and Mean Uncle John, and Italian Ice and riding stuffed in your auntie’s car.
All this to say, quite obviously, we have to get together again. There’s a new ginormous thrift store by the mall down here, where I buy all my records, or we could hang out in your general vicinity. That is all. :D
