Flashback to Saturday

Last Saturday I posted about the three Anthropologie dresses I got that day. Here's the rest of what I got....

a. green scarf, $4.99 (original retail $28); b. striped scarf, $4.99 (original retail $34); c. sailor dress from Goodwill, $4; d. NWT chambray dress from Goodwill, $4 (original retail $74); e. green polka dot dress from Goodwill, $4; f. same dress, except looking much better! 

The two dresses pictured in D, E, and F are for sewing/alteration projects.

I also got three headbands from Rugged, two for $1.99 and one for $0.99. I didn't take pictures yet, but this is identical to one of them.

This one is available at this shop on etsy.

Double Duty

I wore my favorite of the three dresses I got yesterday, so you get to have a closer look at it today:

 I had to wear pants for something about halfway through the day, so my solution was just to throw on a pair of jeans and tuck the dress under into a shirt! Throw on a cardigan, and voila! Dress becomes super cute top. :) 

Dress: Anthropologie, via Rugged Wearhouse, $20

Boots: DEB, $10

Cardigan: Forever 21, $12

 Jeans: Free (from a friend's closet clean out)

Best Deal Ever

I've never liked Rugged Wearhouse. To me, its always looked a little sketchy with its handwritten signs and abundance of incredibly unclassy attire. But after a few successful shopping experiences such as the one from two days ago, I've had a change of heart. And as of today, I absolutely love it. A rack of Anthropologie dresses can do that to a person.

I purchased three dresses, and I looked them up online when I got home and found their original retail prices. As it turns out, all three dresses together are worth $498. I may or may not have gotten all three for $60 total. :) Here they are:

I am so so so excited about these finds. The first one has a really unique print with sparrows and deer on it, and the last one has eyelet cutouts and the back has a cute button up detailing.

Here's the catch...the reason why these gorgeous dresses ended up in a discount store. First of all, these are all last season (which makes no difference to me). Also...

• The first one I purchased has what seems to be an accidental cut on the right sleeve (can be easily sewn/fixed). 
• The second one has two small inkspot stains near the bottom of the dress, but they're both unnoticeable because they're on the lining layer.
• With the third dress, the scarf belt was missing. But to be honest, I actually like it better without the belt.

So there we are. My best good deals ever (at least to this day).

I actually got a couple of other things, at Rugged as well as Goodwill. But we'll get to that another day. This is enough excitement for one day, right? 

My Stomach Is A Bottomless Pit

I may or may not have just inhaled a bag of chips in one sitting without even realizing it. I don't know about you guys, but I have even less self control with food than with shopping. That's probably not a good thing....but that's okay. I love food. :) Anyway, entirely irrelevant. Here's my outfit for today:

Dress: thrifted, $4

Cardigan: TJ Maxx, $12 (gift card)

Shoes: Rugged Wearhouse, $7

Yesterday I went on a 40 minute shopping spree and found a ton of stuff for $25. Yesterday was the first day that I could shop again. Leave it to me to head straight for the store...

a. ruffled beige top by Myth ($1); b. chunky knit cropped jacket w/zipper by Forever 21 ($1); c. mustard yellow v-neck sweater by Poof ($5); d. button down shirt by Prototype ($1); e. striped cardigan by Poof ($1); f. light wash skinny jeans by Paris Blues ($1); g. yellow 5.5 inch slingback booties by Steve Madden ($7); h. heeled oxford booties by Wanted ($7)

Finally. (Day 30)

DONE. You have no idea how excited I am about this. Here's very last remix outfit. Unfortunately I had to do photos really quickly today and the second one is out of focus....sorry!

 Top: American Eagle, $7 (gift card)

Jeans: Ross, $10

Boots: Ross, $18

Belt: thrifted, $1

Scarf: thrifted, $1

I don't know why I didn't use this scarf earlier in the remix...I got it from Goodwill before the remix. It's sort of vintage-y and I love it. :) 

On that celebratory note of being finished, here's something I think is worth checking out. A friend of my showed it to me, and it is ridiculous. I've spent far too much of my time on Foodgawker.
