Friday Thrifting + my feature in Fashionista Friday for the DC Goodwill blog!

Happy Friday! :) I woke up this morning only to discover my AC is broke , so what better excuse to get out of the house & go thrifting?! My friend was kind enough to come with me & even brought some Venti Iced Green Tea Lattes! We both found some amazing things. I used to think that having a good "thrifting day" was depending on how much stuff I could find. Today is was the complete opposite. I only found 3 things but I love them all equally & 2 of them are amazing designer brands! Check out the items that I scored all for $16. 

Carlos Santana fringed leather bag $3.49. Words can't describe how excited I am about this, I love fringe - loooovvveee it! I definitely have a western vibe to my growing style. 

BCBG sandals. The original price was $89 & I got them for $4.99! They are perfect for summer and look hardly worn. 

Xhiliration floral dress, $6.99. 

Even if I didn't find as much as usual, I love the few things I did find. Keep an eye out & you can score some major designer brands for less! 

In other very exciting news, I was discovered through Instagram by a fashion blogger for the Goodwill in DC & she decided to feature me in her blog for Fashionista Friday! I was so incredibly flattered since I've only had a blog & Instagram for about 2 weeks now. I even received a fashionista badge for my tumblr blog, I can't wait to post it! Here is the link to the blog:

Until next time,

Haunted

Everybody has a past. Everybody has skeletons in their closet that they try to hide. Maybe because we're embarrassed of who we used to be, or that those skeletons contain a tremendous amount of regret. What is so frustrating, is that we can't take anything that we've done back. There's the saying "you can't start a new chapter if you keep re-reading the last one". I was a huge party girl in highschool. I smoked pot, I drank, I dated alot of wrong guys. I had zero self esteem so I fed off of attention from unhealthy sources. No, I wasn't a slut...but I did definitely dated around and was extremely naïve, which earned me a bad reputation. Today, at 27 years old, I'm a mother of 2..I work an honest job, I pay my bills on time and I am very in love with my boyfriend. I ignore messages in my inbox from anything with a penis, because I respect my relationship. I'm settled. I don't party. I don't so drugs. I rarely miss a day of work and m...

2 huge Goodwill hauls!

Image
I would like to apologize for my brief hiatus from blogging, I have been out of state a lot the past month for family reasons. For the last month I feel like everything has been a blur between running a household, kids, school and family. I've been to Goodwill here and there so I put together a haul to share with you all! I've been having a lot of great finds lately :D So here we go!  Finding 5 pairs of shoes at the same Goodwill that were my taste & size was a pretty lucky feeling, not to mention I scored some major brands. These shoes are all never worn/hardly worn. $4.99 a pair!  These Dressbarn flats are perfect for Fall! I love the deep green color and capped toe detail.  These chestnut brown Mossimo flats with gold studded detail are the cutest! Once again, definitely going to be a Fall essential.  I love Sperry's, however I hate the price of them. I found these hardly worn leopard print ones today and I can't wait to wear them!  I love the vintage/hip...

Falling in love with yourself.

Yes, you read that right. I believe that on the pursuit of self happiness you have to fall in love with yourself. You can't give your heart, soul, mind & body to somebody else if you don't love what is on the inside & what's staring back at you in the mirror. For the longest time, I wanted to be something I wasn't. I'm only 5' feet tall, I have a pear shape(smaller boobs/bigger butt&thigh area), my bottom teeth are crooked, I'm pale, my face is round & overall I consider myself more of an athletic build. I would look at myself in the mirror everyday and wish I had different features. We all see these beauty standards in magazines of women with long, lean legs, long&flowy hair, commercial ready smiles, tiny waists, curves in all the right places  and gorgeous, tan flawless skin. Let me tell you, I wanted to be that so badly. I always thought I might be "more" if I was "prettier". Comparing yourself to someone else is on...
