About Me

My photo
I have always been interested in fashion and dressing up for as long as I can remember. When I was little, I always made it a point to “match” everything, and even wore dresses everyday to school for my entire 2nd grade school year. This interest has stuck with me to the present day and has grown into something that I have become very passionate about. I plan to take this passion and turn it into a career. I attend FIDM LA as a Fashion Design major. Coming from a small town and living with a small budget, I have to be creative in achieving the kind of style I like. This blog is a side project that shows that fashion can be affordable by posting my favorite outfits, DIY sewing projects, and documents my journey at FIDM.

Thrift Store Finds-August 27, 2011

Once a month, I like to go out and test my luck at the few thrift stores we have in town. This past Saturday happened to be 50% off everything at Goodwill, and since we have two locations, I was able to find a couple great pieces to add to my wardrobe.

Simple, black, sheer blouse with ruffles in the front.


A Lauren Ralph Lauren blazer. It's a bit boyish-looking on me, but for only $4, I couldn't pass this up!



This long sleeve blouse is a great transitional piece, and the polka dots are very Stella McCartney Fall 2011-eqsue!


Thick shorts with mini hounds tooth print. Can't wait to wear them with tights!

This dress doesn't have much hanger appeal, but it looks SO cute on! I was surprised at how it really flatters my small frame.

Patent black heels from Nine West.


I was able to purchase all of these items (with the help of the 50% off promotion) for under $30!

What have been some of your best thrift store finds?
