thrifting fun

i haven't posted for
almost a full week-
little bits of this and that
kept me busy!

we have a tradition
in the family with my
three daughters, once
they hit high school,
for their birthday's...
we would take a day-
just the two of us,
mom & daughter and we
would go to seattle shopping
and out for lunch...
this tradition has managed
to keep going even though
two of them are married with
little ones of their own and the
youngest is in college...we still
keep up the shopping day!
now granted, sometimes life
gets busy and we have
to have 'our' day postponed for
a month or so after
the actual bday but,
we always know that we will
be going shopping and it is something
we all look forward to,
i get time with the daughter one on one
and i get a chance
to buy them something they want
for their special day...a win-win!

so this past friday
my eldest daughter and i (along with grandson)
headed off to seattle for our special day.
so. much. fun!

my grandson and i waiting in v. secret

for mommy :)

my outfit: top is thrifted and you cannot tell but it has the sweetest little raised polka dots...love it.

grey bootcut jeans from kmart, oxfords i snagged at tjmaxx and the hot pink ribbon belt is from gap, years & years ago when i worked there!

then on sunday after church

my hubbie had some things to

do at the church so

what did i do?

well there is a consignment shop

and a thrift store not far from church

so i said, "no worries, i will come get

you later..." hehe little did he know

what i was up to!

i had a nice credit balance stored up at the

consignment shop and so i found 

a belt and a beautiful button blouse

perfect colors for fall and it did not 

cost me a dime because i had a credit! whoot-whoot!

lovely fall colors don't you think?

blouse & belt, local consignment shop

then there was the thrift store finds...oh my goodness!

first i had been on the lookout for pointed flats and i found them

old navy via thrift store...

and then i have had an obsession lately for loafers and oxfords

and had been scouring etsy and ebay looking for some type of  two tone ones 

i was just about to walk away from the shoes (having found the little pointy flats) when i turned the corner

and what did i see??? these ADORABLE loafers in my size, NEVER been worn and only 7.99

oh i did not even hesitate...these lovelies were in my hand in a flash! :)

yesterday my hubs

and i went to lunch

at olive garden...yes

soup, salad and LOTS 

of breadsticks were had! ;)

the skirt i wore

had elastic waist

and boy was i happy

about that, after all the food 

i consumed! :)

black and white polka dot tie blouse was thrifted, skirt is old i believe from tjmaxx and so are my awesome new black boots!

i recently realized how much polka dot things i own...

i have two vintage dresses;  blue & white and a red & white one and then blouses? wow...i own; 

white & white (first picture) black & white, white & black, navy blue & white and 

mustard yellow & white...yeah i love my polka dots! :)

right now, it seems my thrifting eye goes to

oxfords, loafers and polka dots! LOL

this weekend

my hubbie & i

will be heading to 

portland to visit his 

two sisters and we

will attend a benefit dinner

for the korean foundation (his sis' are both adopted)

we always have a wonderful time

and we get to get all dressed up...Yay!

do not worry...i will make sure to get a picture

of us all spiffied up!

and you, how was your weekend?

what does your eye go to when shopping?

polka dot? leopard print? shoes? anything and everything? LOL

i leave you with this challenge

our pastor left with us on sunday;

spread the seeds of kindness, compassion & love!

may you be blessed.

just a post about shoes:)

i have always known
and will clearly admit
that i have a shoe
addiction-
i don't even know
when this addiction
began really but,
it is a legit addiction! :)

my husband and girls
know that i love my shoes!
in fact, my girls
often 'shop' mom's shoes
when they don't have what
they need for an outfit...

i think shoes
are one of those things
that always fit-
your weight may go up & down

but, as a general rule
my lovely shoes always fit!

i can go to a store
and don't need to
worry that i 'feel fat',
those shoes will always fit
frankly shoes will always
make this girl happy! :)

i am sharing a few of
my lovelies today~

my cute little peep toe wedge heels-

they are a lovely greyish-purple color

of course they go soooo cute with the lovely boot,

i had to wear for 6 weeks...even when sleeping i had to wear that boot!

i decided i needed to document it :)

these are my newest purchase from GW,

brand new with the tag still on! 

i love these little loafers

this was taken last night

when i went out to the local coffee shop,

with my husband and our two best friends.

it was the first time since having my boot removed

that i wore pants!

loving these boots from tjmaxx-

oh yes this fall

i will be wearing these a lot!

toms are absolutely one of the most

 comfortable. shoes. ever!

you can also see how much smaller my right calf is after being in a boot

and not being used for 6 weeks. :(

and who can ever get enough of

converse? :)

a few of my lovelies

there are many more

i could share

but, 

that might 

have to be

another post! :)

I like Cinderella, I really do. She has a good work ethic. I appreciate a good, hard-working gal. And she likes shoes. The fairy tale is all about the shoe at the end, and I'm a big shoe girl.

I've always looked at shoes as being immensely beautiful things.

To be happy, it first takes being comfortable being in your own shoes. The rest can work up from there.

on a cloudy day~
