Dollar Deals

Handmade top (thrifted) | American Eagle cord jeggings | American Eagle sandals (Marshall's, $12)

I bought this handmade embroidered top at a tiny hole-in-the-wall thrift store last summer for a buck. It reminds me of something my Nan would’ve cross-stitched and my Granny would’ve worn, and maybe that’s why I dig it. {insert family history lesson: Nan was Dad’s mom, Granny was Mom’s mom; they’re in heaven now, probably sharing a cup of coffee and talking each other’s ear off}.

It’s not the greatest dollar find ever recorded in the blogosphere — Yen’s dollar Texas dress currently tops my list — but it’s a victory, nonetheless.

Ha! I have those cord jeggings! They’re awesome! It’s way too hot to wear them now, but you’re (sadly?) making me look forward to wearing them in the fall. : )

i have been wanting to get lucky enough to thrift a shirt just like this. of course having something specific in mind means I’ll never find it, but I can keep dreaming.

I love that top! I think it was a special find. : ) And thank you thank you thank you for your sweet comment. I’m very nervous, but all the kind words are boosting my self esteem. And taking notes with colored pens and nice paper is the BEST! I occasionally miss school because of the note taking, so I completely agree with you!

This is TOTALLY my kind of outfit. Cute and interesting but still relaxed and comfortable. It’s how life should be, in outfit form.

That is a great dollar find! I love pieces like that!

You look lovely, Keira, and I’m digging your sandals! I’m glad you found some. Are they similar to your mom’s sandals from the 80’s?
