Another Michigan State Shirt

I really have too many Michigan State shirts, but then again, I don't believe in such a thing!


Nothing special, '80s Soffe-brand MSU t-shirt. Here's a picture of the tag:


I can't wait to go see Watchmen, hopefully Friday but for sure by Sunday. I haven't yet met my goal of finishing the book before I see the movie but maybe I can cram and get it done by the weekend. I just hope the movie lives up to its expectations, although I think if anyone can do it, it's Zack Snyder (although V for Vendetta was certainly another amazing Alan Moore adaptation, but I haven't read the graphic novel).

That's all!

Winter Blues

It is snowing like crazy right now and I am less than thrilled about it. Hopefully spring is just around the corner .... I miss riding my bike!

Anyway, here are two of the shirts I got in Lansing last Monday:


I'd been looking for a decent leopard cardigan for awhile, and I think I succeeded with this one. Not vintage, but for 3 bucks, you can't beat the price!

I tried to post this last night, but the program I was using to post from my iPhone seemed to stop working, so, here you go:


I also have to post this pic of Kate Beckinsale because now I need a leather dress in my life.


Amazing. I was hoping to do some thrifting today but the weather might alter my plans. We haven't been going that much lately because a, I barely have the room for new clothes and b, I'm trying to save my money for other things, but I can only hold out for so long!

If you like martial arts movies, or you like Ong Bak or The Protector, then definitely check out Chocolate.


It's basically about an autistic girl who eats M&M's and kicks ass. It's not very strong on plot points, but the fight scenes are great. Definitely check it out.

We also watched The Host last night,


which was pretty good, as well.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend. Any fun plans?

Desktop

So luckily, my Dad just got a new computer and I can use his old desktop while my laptop is being repaired. It's weird though not having any of my programs, and I don't want to download too many things onto here, so I'll just have to make do. I also don't have any speakers!

In the meantime, thank goodness for programs like Picnik so I can at least crop photos while I am without Photoshop. I miss having Poladroid!

This shirt isn't anything special but it is old and I just liked the anchors and boats:

Circa 1980s

I also posted an MSU Rose Bowl sweatshirt a while back and mentioned having the exact same t-shirt. Well, here it is:


Except it also has this graphic on the back:


I love this shirt but it is in perfect condition so I don't wear it too often for fear of ruining it. I'm weird that way about all white shirts.

So, that's all for now, but at least I can continue to update while I am sans-laptop. Tell me something good that happened to you this week, so I can pretend it happened to me! ha. =)

Christmas Day

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and got everything you wanted. My Christmas was very laid-back; I split my time between my house and Mat's. I normally don't get dolled up for Christmas, so I just wore a sweater and some jeans.


I bought this MSU sweater forever ago, but this is the first time I wore it! It isn't my usual style, but it fits really well.

Mat wore a vintage Pony t-shirt.


We pretty much just hung around all day and ate a lot. I still wake up early on Christmas morning. We also watched The Nightmare Before Christmas, because I had never seen it.

Feel free to tell me all about your holiday!

I'm ready for the weekend

Somehow I never get anything done that I want to do, no matter how much time I have to do it. Oh, well. I have the day off tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get around to posting some more things.

Here is what I wore Sunday night:


Good long-sleeve t-shirts are hard to find. This one is nice and thin, and I like the graphic.

I also wore what is quite possibly the greatest shirt ever ....


Yep, that's my boyfriend's face! He screen printed it for me on a vintage purple Screen Stars tee. The white comes off a little Santa-y, but in truth, it is a spitting image.

Monday I wore a pink and gray baseball tee that I picked up back when we went to Lansing:


It is so soft and fits really well. On Monday we did a ton of thrifting, which is what I keep meaning to post, and also ate SONIC! Mmm, cheesy tots... and cherry limeade, always.

Yesterday, I had to work, but underneath my work clothes I wore this amazing Pegasus shirt that I got on Monday:


It isn't old, but it is awesome. It's thrifted, but is pretty much brand new!

Today I'm wearing an MSU shirt I found last week:


Sorry again for my crappy, crappy camera. The shirt isn't so spectacular, either, but you really can't go wrong with anything Michigan State! The shirt is from the '80s.

AND on that same day I got these awesome shades,


which I forgot about until I pulled out the shirt. The amount of clothing in plastic bags covering my floor right now is straight-up ridiculous.

One last thing:


THIS FRIDAY Mat and I will be at the Crofoot in Pontiac, reppin' Thrifty Outfitters, courtesy of Rock and Rummage. So, be there. The event is featured on The Crofoot website as such:

"Prepare for a holiday dance of yester year, as the Crofoot twists the space time continuum into a knot and out falls Phonotropic's Bing Crosby's Holiday Dance & Shopping Explosion of Cheer and or Glee !!!!!

Plus more than a dozen vendors selling records, t-shirts, and nostalgic items with words attached to them like "The Goonies", "Garbage Pail Kids", and "The Dark Crystal" compliments of the great folks of Rock N’ Rummage."

It should be a good time, so if you are in the area, you should definitely check it out! Cover is $5. Event starts at 8 p.m.

That's all for me today! Peace.

Circus

This post is a bit overdue, but now it's time to catch up!
Here are some outfits from the weekend:


This is what I wore Saturday while watching the MSU game. If you know the outcome of the game, then you know that's all I have to say about that! I also have a white t-shirt with the exact same graphic.

When going out Saturday night, Mat wore one of the many westerns he purchased last week:


Please excuse my dirty camera!

He also brought out a shirt that has been in retirement for quite some time:


Mat used to wear this shirt all the time, so much so that it is completely see-through and full of holes. It is still an amazing shirt.

Sunday, I went to see TWILIGHT and wore this sweatshirt:


It's an '80s Remington Guns crew neck. It is so unbelievably soft and I love the graphic!

Speaking of Twilight, did anyone else see it this weekend? Thoughts? I, for one, was very pleased, and I thought they stuck pretty close to the book. But I know others have had different opinions. Feel free to share! Or your thoughts on the True Blood season finale... I was not happy about the ending!

How was your weekend?

Also, my sister turns 20 today, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNY! =)

Success!

Yesterday's thrifting excursion was a rousing success. I picked up some items for myself and some for the shop. (Look for those tomorrow!)

Here's what I wore out:


A 1970s San Diego Chargers t-shirt. I will admit right now, I watch The Girls Next Door on E!, and Kendra is my favorite, so I was pretty happy when I found this shirt. Regardless of that, though, this shirt is pretty amazing. It's also a Champion blue bar,

meaning it has the Champion "blue bar" tag. Blue bar shirts are pretty valuable, especially old football jerseys.

Mat wore a blue western embroidered with white roses:


He also found at least ten westerns yesterday, all in amazing condition. Sadly, he couldn't buy them all, but he did pick up about half.

I also wore this hat:


I have a scarf to match, but I'll save that for another post. It's a knit grey beanie that reads "Property of Michigan State" and has a pom pom on the top. I collect vintage Michigan State apparel and have a pretty decent collection, so expect to see more MSU items popping up in this blog.

That's about all for today, but check back tomorrow to see some of my finds!

Also, if you have a blog and would like me to link to you, I'd love to!
I just ask that you return the favor. Leave me a comment with your blog's link, and I'll add it to my "Daily Reads" list.

Even if you don't have a blog, feel free to leave a comment! I'd love to know who reads this and what you think. =)
