December

It's been a few days! I hope everyone had a great weekend. I've been busy working and whatnot, but this week I work nights and hope to get more done during the day!

Here's what I've been wearing the past few days:


This great '80s army sweatshirt, which is super soft.

This red t-shirt, which has a name (?) on the front and text on the back:


And, the best of the three, this amazing (and authentic) vintage E.T. t-shirt:


I couldn't believe it when I found this shirt. It is great.

Yesterday Mat and I headed out to Lansing for some sushi and thrifting! We only ended up making it to one thrift store due to bad weather, but it was still a successful trip. I think I got about 11 things? I had hoped to find good things for the shop, but I think I ended up spending more on myself, which tends to happen all too often. Mat found a Big "E" Levi's short-sleeve western! They stopped using the big "E" in 1971, so shirts with the big "E" tag are pretty rare. That was the first one we've found!

The best sushi place ever is in Lansing, too, so it's worth the trip.

That's all for now, but expect more posts this week! Tell me about your weekend!

Introductory Post

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!
