I like vintage looks. I have a tacky gene that loves to mix prints. I have fun trying new things with my hair. I'm a bargain hunter and hardly ever buy an item full price. I love to sew, and feel pleased as punch when I wear something of my own design.

Favorite Color: Orange
Blouse:Gift from Niece
Calf hair Belt: Antique Mall
Jeans: Express (old)
We were Thrifting over Christmas Holiday when our Niece found this vintage top. I might have said something like, "That top is so cool...I hate you." Yeah, I'm not very gracious when losing out on a vintage thrift. In fact, I reminded her that two years ago she made off with a vintage wool skirt suit that I was beyond envious of.
So how did I end up with the blouse? The next morning she showed up at the house, handed me a bag, and said, "Merry Christmas." :o)
Now after wearing it all day, the dang beautiful thing strangled me the entire time! Not to worry, I shall make the cutest pillow out of it. I will enjoy it every single day perched on my couch. That's way more often than I'd ever wear it, so all ends happily.

Yes there are advantages to thrifting alone, but having someone with you to laugh hysterically while trying on something outlandish makes it worth the chance of having to "share". :o)
