Some Outfits...

Awhile back I said I was going to share some outfits I wore.  I've been posting some on instagram just for fun.  The pictures themselves are pretty horrible self portraits, but I didn't have anyone to take them and I am much too lazy to get out my tripod, and do the old timer on the DSLR.  A lot of these are things I've found at the thrift store.  Actually in the past few months I've pretty much replaced my wardrobe with fun things I've found.  If you're in Spokane, the downtown Goodwill is the place to find clothes!

 This sweater I found at Union Gospel Mission on Boone for $6.00.  I love it and it's a lot like my anthro one at the bottom of this post.  The belt is from my friend Ames, I love it, it's so cool!  The leather boots are from Bandolino, and the socks are from Target, skinny jeans from Gap.

 Luna loving her little baby, sporting some Wal-Mart jeggings, a cute hand me down sweater from Gap and a onesie with a birdie appliqued and hand stitched from a friend.  The chair was a shower gift from some friends.

 My mom spotted this ugly, yet great horse sweater in Minnesota at a thrift ship.  It's kinda ugly, but cool and I dig it.

 horses, horses, horses- name that movie- it's You've Got Mail I think, she sings that, or is it Sleepless in Seattle

 Ok, I'm really proud of this shirt I found for Sam.  It is in my opinion the perfect band shirt.  You know, for a concert when the guys are trying to look cool, but trying to look like they didn't even think about their outfit, even though they spent an hour figuring out just the right shirt.  I didn't know if he would like it, but he did love it- score!  This was found at Windfall, a thrift store just around the corner from us on Perry St.

 Here is a sweater I got for Christmas for Ann Taylor and some fun socks with pom poms that I bought at Target a few years ago.

 Here are some more Christmas gifts.  Shirt from Gap, scarf from Forever 21, jeans are Lucky I found at a consignment shop.  They are so comfy, and long!

 Here is one of three skirts I hemmed over Christmas.  I lopped off 8 inches on each of them and now I have some classic wool skirts.  I thrifted the sweater from Goodwill.  The purple tights are from Ross I think.

 Here is the outfit that clashes according to my sisters, I don't care  The blue shirt is thrifted from the Union Gospel Mission in the Valley.  The green pants are from Gap and are years old!

 I'm obsessed with rings, and I love vintage buttons so I had to get this.  I got it at an antique shop in Hopkins, MN over Christmas.

 This shirt is thrifted from Goodwill.

 Here is the second skirt I hemmed.  The shirt is smartwool, and the belt is from Forever 21

 This shirt I bought when I was pregnant at a thrift store near Sandpoint, ID.  I had no idea if it would fit me, I don't love it.  Luna's shirt is vintage and from a thrift store.  It has smocking on the top, I love it.

I love these cozy fleece jammies that Luna has.  They are Carters.

 Here is my girl's idea of necklaces.  Whenever I do laundry she always seems to steal my underwear and layers several pairs over her neck!

 I love this Gap shirt that I found brand new with the tags from Union Gospel Mission

Here is skirt #3 that I hemmed.  This one used to be my grandma's, I love that I can still wear it today!

 Luna's dress is this sweet vintage one that a lady from our church gave her.  I love it!

 Here she is being soooo silly!

 This is an Anthropologie sweater that I got majorly on sale.  I think it was a $200 sweater I got for about $40.  The shoes are Minnetonka Moccasins, and I would love to buy a mini pair for Luna.

There you have it folks, some bad phone pics of my quirky outfits!

What I Wore

I stole the sweater from my mom years ago.  My dad bought it for my mom when she was my age.

The jacket is from Fringe and Fray, my favorite clothing store in Spokane.  I had store credit so I got it for free!  It was only $18 bucks though, they have such awesome stuff for great prices!  The shoes are Minnetonka Moccasins, funny story- I ordered them online while I was in labor. Sam thought I was crazy, while he was rushing around packing last minute items in our bag, I was filling my shopping basket at midnight entering in credit card info. in between contractions!

My mom knit the scarf for me.  The basket was bought at Hansen's last year.  I love it and use it all the time!

Man, as I look closer I keep seeing things people made for me.  I have a crafty family!  My dad made me that silver ring on my ring finger from an old spoon.  The other ring I got at a boutique in Colorado.

This blanket was made by my grandma for my brother.  I'll have to get another picture of it one day, it's awesome.  The yellow sweater she is wearing was made for my oldest brother- yep that was before ultrasounds revealing the sex, it's a pretty girly sweater if you ask me.

My mom crocheted this adorable little hat for miss luna bug.

I'm eager to try some new things out with my hair.  I have gobs of it, so I figure I should do more than just a plain pony tail, or leave it down and boring.  Pinterest has my wheels turning for new ideas. I tried out this hairstyle.  I don't know, I kinda liked how it turned out- but I also think I look like a cross between a German masseuse named Helga and Princess Lei, nevertheless I tried something new!

 I'm toying with the idea of posting some daily outfits.  I'm nervous to do this because I am the last person on earth to look at for style cues or inspiration on what to wear.  I have been inspired by Rachel and Rubyellen's Vintage Here, Vintage There feature and have been wanting to try it for a while.  I love dressing my little girl up in fun things, mixing old sweaters with cute little jeans.  So I thought I'd share my clothing and thrift store scores with you.  I think this will also be a good way to share all the handcrafted love that we've received.  It will also get me wearing more than the same 3 outfits all the time!  I'd love it if you comment, or link up with your own clothing post.  You can be honest, and I hope you will (I'm thinking my little sis especially- she has better fashion sense than me and she's truthful)  I think this means I'm getting old enough to not care if I have some weird outfits going on, it's my style and it works for me.  I think you can make anything work if you like it and wear it with confidence.
