I disappeared a little bit yesterday. I didn't mean to, but it kind of just happened anyways. I know apologies for not blogging are unnecessary, but I hate getting off schedule. But, real life was calling and my lovely friend Adria was in town! I spent my morning cleaning up my extremely messy apartment until I was interrupted by a knock at the door, it was her! We caught up and drank coffee, and then it was down to business: thrift shopping. I hadn't been to Savers in forever, so that's where we were off to. I can't say that I hit the jackpot, but I do love this burnt sienna grandpa sweater I found, it goes perfectly with the dress I discovered too. I love finding whole outfits at thrift stores, it always makes getting dressed the next day so easy! I swear I probably owned this dress in junior high school, around 1995. the relaxed, baggy fit is perfect for days like today, where I'm just doing work around the house. I break up the kind of dated floral motif, I added the cropped lace vest that used to be my mom's, I love playing with proportions!
Someone recently asked me on my formspring if I plan to continue my Thursday wedding posts, and I do. I feel like the past few months have totally flown by, and maybe lacking inspiration. They will be back next week, along with (hopefully) other exciting things! To tell the truth, a lot has happened since Wednesday, but I'm going to take the weekend before writing about it. Don't worry, it's all good things! I hope everyone has a great weekend! It's freezing out here, 19 degrees!

This is so beautiful. I love the colors! Thrifting is my fave...It's kind of my weakness! :D
oooh love the cardigan! It's like something you could pick up at Anthropologie this season...only warmer, and about $100 cheaper. You are a thrifting champion. Stay warm!
color of that sweater is a+ ! especially against the gray of the day.

Great outfit! I love the necklace.
I'm going to the Canadian prairies for the holidays and am dreading the sub-zero temperatures; I need a sweater like that! Almost all of my clothing is in storage at the moment and I'm certain there is a similar chunky knit in there somewhere...
going to google Essex Shipbuilding Museum and order!

Love that cardigan, what a find! Its just like something I wnated in topshop but for a lot less you lucky thing!
That sweater is a great find! I can't believe it was only $6. Wow. That's another reason why I love vintage : )
Have a great weekend!
really cute! I've never though of wearing a lace vest over a dress but it's a great idea, i have a cropped top similar to that and I think it'll work perfectly. =)
That is an amazing cardigan - jealous! That necklace is great too.
I love your sweater and the way you put these pieces together. Looking lovely!
Have a great weekend :)
yeah, that dress totally has a 90s feel in the most awesome way!
Oh my! I think this my favourite outfit you wore in a while! Love it!
love that big cozy cardigan and i like your new bangs!
oh that cardigan, it is SO wonderful.x
That cardigan looks so comfy and warm! The colour is just amazing too - well the colours of the whole outfit are amazing haha! I love how you mixed in the purple tights too!
The lace vest is a unique touch. I love that cardigan, it's perfect. Also, really digging your hair right now. I'm a big fan of big buns, growing my hair out right now almost just for that purpose.
This sweater is AMAZING!! I am envious, for sure. It looks like it could be hand-knit too, which would make it even more amazing!
I desperately want this sweater. It's the most GORGEOUS colour and oh-so-chunky thick!

Hi, this is Dawn from Suitcase Vignettes and I am just dropping by to say congratulations for being so courageous and leaving a job that was making you so unhappy. I admire your courage and your honesty about the entire ordeal. It helps people who are in your same situation, relate to you on a more personal level...I don't like my job either...why can't I just thrift for a living?...have a great week and we should all try to live our purpose...finding it is half the battle. Drop in and say hello...would love to hear from you..plus I want you to see my new 6 week old rescue kitty. Dawnxx
I really love the color combo in this outfit!
