Sometimes a Dress Looks Better Backwards
At the yard sale I got this amazing black paillettes dress. My first step was to take out the shoulder pads, I have no hips so emphasizing my shoulders is not what I want to be doing. Then I tried it on, and realized that the back might look really good as the front. Turns out I was right! The dress can now go from pretty conservative to super sexy.

Yard Sales!
I was in NYC this weekend and on Sunday Mitch and I decided it would be a perfect day for yard saling! We went on craigslist and found about 7 that we wanted to go to and even made a route on the GPS. Super fun, and we got a ton of great stuff.
Here is our trunk at the end of the day. Unfortunately most of it is covered by the mink coat($5!!!).
Here I am trying on the dress I just got over my outfit and holding the amazing preserved shark in a jar. The first thing I did when I got home was take out the shoulder pads in the dress and it look seriously amazing!
I got this amazing umbrella at a moving sale. It's massive, plus it has pictures of dogs on it. So cool.
This amazing petrified wood coffee table was also at that sale but unfortunately neither myself nor Mitch has any need for a petrified wood coffee table. Oh well, I take solace in my pretty apron.

Yard Sale Hunting
Last weekend I passed by a dozen yard sales and realized it's finally yard sale season! So this past Sunday I drove around Waltham looking for yard sales and ended up finding two. Here are some of my finds, mostly costume jewelry which was exactly what I was looking for!
Pretty earrings I can even wear to work, bonus!
Even more earrings.
An awesome red plastic necklace that I love.
Seriously, isn't this the coolest pin ever?! Almost as good as the elephant belt. I got it even though I never ever wear pins. I will find a way to wear this one. Maybe sneak it on to my work uniform...
The best purchase of the day, a replica Bowie knife!!! I have it hanging by my bed in case of intruders :-P.
All and all a very successful day. I also got a cute yellow teapot, a huge coat that I'm determined to make into a cute jacket, and some heat up hair curlers. It ended up costing about $15 total.
