For a long time I stopped following new music, but lately I've been listening to MGMT, the new Killers' album, Girl Talk, and Kayne's 808s & Heartbreak nonstop. Any other suggestions?
Yesterday I wore a long-sleeve camo pocket tee (recent purchase) over the most perfect gray t-shirt, ever. It's so unbelievably soft. '80s Sears brand.
I also listed a few new things in the Etsy shop recently:
1989 Rolling Stones tour t-shirt. It's not '70s Stones, sure, but it's still a pretty sweet shirt.
'80s sailor-style sweater. It's really pretty neat. Just excuse my face in that photo. Oh, and take a peek at my new leggings!
I'm going to try and do a massive Etsy update today and over the weekend. Monday I start working full time! I no longer work at Target. Instead, I am going to be an editorial intern for Cengage Learning, a publishing company here in Michigan. This is what I went to school for and what I want to do, so I am very, very excited. However, I am going to have less free time than I have grown accustomed to, so I want to get as many things up on Etsy as I can.
Happy Friday!
Whew! I have been a negligent blogger. When I started this blog I was unemployed, but lately I've been working an inconsistent schedule that hasn't left me much time to blog. Hopefully this will soon change, but for now, here I am!
This weekend was very, very busy. Saturday Mat and I had Rock and Rummage, which went incredibly well. However, I didn't get to bed until 3:30 a.m. and had to be back up at 5 to be at work by 6 for an eight-hour shift. Needless to say, that was a fun day. Once I was off, I pretty much slept until it was time to go to bed, when I slept some more.
Monday was spent thrifting and doing other errands, and also eating some fantastic mall sushi--two words that usually don't go together, I know! It was a pleasant surprise, so if you are ever out at Twelve Oaks Mall, definitely check out the Sushi Cafe.
Now, onto the photos! Here is what I wore to Rock and Rummage:
A vintage Honda Gold Wing v-neck t-shirt.
Close-up of graphic, and you can also see my necklace, bought from Etsy seller Sweetheart Sinner.
Mat wore a vintage Harley Davidson t-shirt:
Over my Honda shirt I also wore this '80s plaid button-up:
Here is a picture of our booth at the Elbow Room,
which, by the way, if you're in the Ypsi area and haven't been to the Elbow Room, you need to go. It is a great time.
We also have more photos on our MySpace if you are interested, and Rock and Rummage has a ton of pics on their MySpace as well.
If you missed out Saturday, don't fret, because we will be in Wyandotte this Saturday from 3 p.m. until 2 a.m. for another Rock and Rummage event! There will be 10 vendors, 8 bands, dollar PBRs, and it is completely FREE. Don't miss it!
Welcome to my blog!
Even though the purpose of this blog can be found in my "About Me" section, I still feel obliged to make a post introducing myself and my blog.
I am a 22 year old with a passion--more like an obsession, really--for vintage and thrift store shopping.
My collection is such that I have started selling vintage clothing to help purge it. It doesn't help that my boyfriend is as vintage-crazy as I am; in fact, he got me into the whole business, not to mention that he actually has more clothes than I do.
All the same, I love going to thrift stores, and hope to use this blog to share my vintage collection. Though the majority of the posts will feature vintage items, there will be the occasional new item, too. However, at least one aspect of my outfit will have been thrifted, new or old!
I will also be posting items I've bought to sell through my vintage business, Thrifty Outfitters.
Check us out at Etsy or MySpace for more info.
Alright, my purpose isn't to plug my shop or to ramble on.
So, onto the vintage!
The shirt I'm wearing today isn't vintage, but it was thrifted, and for $0.50, who can resist a Volkswagen t-shirt?
Another element of my outfit today is this amazing plaid jacket:
Words cannot express my love for this jacket. It's a wool Pendleton and is from the 1970s. One of the buttons fell off, and I have been too lazy to sew it back on, but it doesn't matter,
I still love this jacket.
Lastly, I found two dresses yesterday that will be up for sale in my Etsy shop.
Dress One:
This dress is so cute! It's from the '70s and is 100% polyester.
I love the bell sleeves.
Dress Two:
This dress fits me so well I am almost sad to let it go. It is most likely from the early '80s, judging by the union tag. I love the sheer sleeves and detail on the front:
It's actually the dark navy in the first picture, not the lighter blue that shows up here. I'm a bit overdue for a new digital camera!
That's all for today, but there is much more to come. My collection never stops growing.
Thanks for reading, and feel free to share all your favorite finds with me! I'd love to hear about them!
