God Bless the SA!

This trip to the SA was a monumental event for me. Never have I found so many great things in one day. Although I didn't plan on doing any more outfit posts until my new camera arrives, I couldn't wait to try on a few things to show the fit.


First:
two floral denim shorts and top "sets".

$3 a piece for each set.
\
The floral denim shorts are highwaisted yet they are too tight for my taste. If these are your kind of thing, let me know, I will sell them.

Next are:
Two adorable vintage slips for $2 a piece. The one on the right is floor length, and I tried the one on the left on below.



The Best Vintage Find to Date is...

I have been wanting and "watching" vintage sequin butterfly tops on ebay, etsy, nastygal, and even other blog shops for the past few weeks in attempts to snag one for a reasonable price...Today I found this one for $5! It was hanging all by itself on the end of a pants rack for some reason. I ran for it so fast a little old lady laughed at me.

Here are a couple of the things I tried on for you guys (sorry I was in quite a hurry so please disregard photo quality, extremely stupid posing, wack background, different photo sizes, etc.)
Sorry for the boobage overload...

the denim floral bustier crop top that came with the aforementioned shorts in the same pattern. Gawd I wish those shorts would fit me!

Other purchases include an actual kimono, a crochet top, and a vintage throw pillow bringing my total amount spent to $17.61! People that live within driving distance should seriously consider coming to my town just to thrift!

p.s.

thanks everyone for your supportive comments. I have been a little slow in responding due to the working at my mother's business and tonight I have to attend a four hour traffic school class, but I will be responding this week!!
