Magical Shoes

I got these shoes the other day at the thrift store and they are my new absolute favorite shoes! The only problem is they are incredibly shiny and have the ability to distract me constantly as I walk and make me revel in their shininess. However, I believe they have a separate magical ability. So far I have come very close several times to running into something because I've been focusing on my feet. But I always look up right before I hit something. Pretty sure its because the shoes are magical.

My Wedding Outfit

So Mitch didn't know any real details of the wedding on Sunday so I ended up bringing a million dresses and 5 pairs of shoes. At our 50's party I tried on all of the possibilities and this one won. I was pretty excited because I have no idea where else I would wear this dress.

This dress is amazing. I tried it on at the thrift store just for fun expecting it to be hideous and it turned out to actually look good on. Also, I love looking different from everyone else and this dress definitely accomplished that. And yes, that sign says don't stand on the grass, I know, I'm such a rebel. :-P

My Outfit

I was feeling down this morning so I decided to wear something fun, and what's more fun than a banana skirt and yellow tank top? So thats what I wore, with my awesome gold elf shoes. Again today all I had was sewing (yay!), a work meeting and then the workday from hell.
Tank Tops: Target
Skirt: Self Made
Shoes: Thrifted

New Shoes

I have just recently acquired four new pairs of amazing shoes!

These were $10 at the Garment District, and totally worth it. They are extremely comfortable and have a really high heel. Bonus.

I also got these at the Garment District. They were in the the $1 a pound section so I just grabbed them without trying them on or even finding a size because I figured, it's a $1 I can deal if they don't fit. Not only do they fit but they're actually really comfortable. Best deal I've gotten so far.

These are from the thrift store in Waltham, about $5. I adore them. So much that the strap doesn't really work, but I can just slip them on so totally worth it.

I also got these at the thrift store in Waltham for $5. Pretty sure I was attracted to them because I'm still bitter about the cool elf like shoes from TopShop that were way to expensive and these are definitely elf-like. Plus, they're good summer shoes and I don't have many of those.

Fixing My Skirt

I was thrift shopping and found a skirt that I liked but was pretty sure was going to be too big. I got it anyway because too big is much easier to fix than too small. I was right, and it ended up looking horrible because it sat at the wrong place on my hips, was too long, and completely shapeless.

That's me looking sad that the skirt doesn't fit. Anyway, to go along with my obsession with high waisted skirts I just took the waist in and narrowed the entire skirt. It's not a huge change, but I like it enough now to actually wear it!

Thrifting at the Garment District

Mitch and I went to the Garment district last weekend and got the best stuff!

A vintage dress from the late 80s early 90s. The bottom part is completely see through so I got black skintight long shorts to wear underneath. Love it.

A skirt from the 50s. I love it so much and it has such a great texture to it.

Dress from the 70s which I had to get because it is just soo 70s. Also super comfy, I just have to find a way to make it shorter and have an adjustable length.

I know that I'll be going to the Renaissance fair at least twice this year, so I had to get this dress. Super awesome.

This amazing skirt with a bulldog on it was in the costume section. Crazies! I'm going to wear it everyday as soon as it actually fits my waist.

Its a belt! With pockets! Need I say more?
I love everything I got. Definitely a successful shopping trip. Plus Mitch got a whole suit for only $35!
