This is what I wore on Saturday. I wore it to go see my sister at
her thrift store in Johnstown. Also to drop off some clothes for it from my closet. *sniff sniff*
The
bag I actually borrowed from her store on my way out front to take
photos with it. I fell in love with its vintage briefcase-esque feel.
When I saw the golden "R" on the front, I knew it was a match made in
heaven (my real name starts with an "R"). She let me keep it. ;-)
It
is for that reason that I cannot own my own thrifting or consigning
store. I would end up just keeping everything that walked through the
door.
I actually thrifted this sweater last week some time. Surprisingly, it is the
only
thing that I left the thrift store with. With a $3 pricetag and the
chain detail on the shoulders, it was pretty much a no brainer.
Unfortunately,
I did not follow one of the cardinal rules of thrifting before
purchase--trying it on. Though I still love the sweater, I was thrown
off by how tight it was, how shear it was and how itchy it was. Sadly,
it might end up at my sister's store after all. :-(
You
know me. I love my colors. But sometimes, it is nice to take a break
and go for the oldest neutral standby in the book--black.
To
my surprise, Patrick loved this look. He totally dug the darker goth
side of my wardrobe for a change and he's always been a sucker for my
combat boots. Go figure.
Which
was funny because here I was snapping away while Patrick was talking to
my sister about the shelves he is building for her in the store (is he
the best or what?). Or so I thought.
I've
become so used to ignoring my surroundings while OOTD shooting that I
barely noticed when Patrick stopped right in front of me with his phone,
snapping away right along with me. Little sneaker.
When
I finally noticed him standing there, I didn't recognize him at first
and almost yelled at/pepper sprayed him. Good thing I figured it out
before too long. Woopsie.
All
in all, our Saturday was so busy. We were at my sister's shop in the
morning, my office in the afternoon and then on our way up to Black Hawk
for Pat's sister's surprise birthday party. More about that in the
next post, but let me say, it was a grand ole time.
