velvet skirts and knit shirts

Hi Blogosphere!

These are some pictures from a last weekend thrift shopping trip downtown I did with a friend.
I'm in love with my new high-waisted velvet floral skirt (Can you tell. I totally became a camera whore with it on! By the way...only $6.00!) AND I also love knit cropped sweater I also got, but not as much as a bargain as the skirt, but still $14.00. It was a great day :)

I miss u all!! I am sorry for the rather boring and slow posts lately; I have finals coming up next week, so as usual, school has got me all tied up. Its like a rodeo really: school is the cowboy and I'm the thing being lassoed. I have no choice but to be antisocial this weekend and hit the books. Although, I think that in reality, the only hitting of the books I'll do is my head hitting the book and I pass out (Wow, im really crakin the jokes tonight). Well, I'm off to do homework, but I will find every ounce of time I can to check up on all your blogs and see what you're up to! I'm in the mood to be inspired!

Much love to all. I will be back, promise.
xoxo

20nd
I went thrifting again on Friday with my friend Cari.
The coolest person ever.
I love earrings and all of these (except for the crazy gold beaded pair)
were all $1.00...so needless to say, we went crazy.
I also bought this pinkey ring. Its a witch with a little black cat.
21st
I went to the art exhibition today. It was interesting to see so many different pieces from every field of art. What I wore...
(jacket Billabong, cardigan Old Navy,belt unknown, scarf,
unknown, purple jeans Forever21, boots Payless Shoe Source)


I decided to take a silly picture.

I think we will end things on that note!
That raps up two days in the life of a different girl with a different mind.

Thrifting Finds and More

As I told you in my previous post, I went thrift shopping on Valentine's Day with my fabulous friends ; )

I wanted to share with you my finds. My favorites would have to be the rings you see below. My mom is baffled as to why I like a ring with a skull on it, but my 15 year old brother thinks its cool so that's all that counts! I think they were both $5.

I love these butterfly earrings too ($4)...My friends decided to get each of us a patch with a random name on it (about 10 cents). I guess you had to be there to understand its hilarity. I like Susan.
The name means lily....like Like Lilly Vintage!!!
"Step 2: velcro heart on bears tummy." xD
The woman from the thrift store said
that this bag was bought in India!
I love the colors so much. It was only $8.
The contents of my new purse...
After my amazing thrift shopping trip, I went to a fancy dinner with my parents and brother. Here is what I wore...
(blouse, Forever 21; cardigan and heels,
Old Navy; skirt and belt, not sure; shoes, Old Navy;
vintage shoulder purse, grandmothers basement; tights, Target)

When I got home I helped myself to a hot pink cupcake!
My mom picked these up from Acme.
And before you ask, no, I was not drinking champagne!
Notice two cupcakes are gone. Thats what happens when you have a brother...

I hope you all had a lovely Valentines Day! If you did anything special let me know, I want to hear all about it! What do you guys think of the skull ring? I'm curious to hear your comments.
As always, xoxo Emily Anne
