Sunday's Outfit is Really Late(ooops)

Skirt:The Bay

Tights: The Bay

Purse: Thrifting

Shoes: The Shoe Warehouse

Scarf: Thrifting

Shirt: The shirt my mother graduated in.

Necklace: My aunt.

T-shirt: Bluenotes

Today's Outfit is a Little Bit Nautical

T-shirt: $10 at H&M

Romper: $0.97(yes that's right the bargain shopper strikes again!) at Winners

Double Breasted Jacket: $10 at Forever 21

Bag: Made it!

Scarf: Made it from a pair of pants I made into shorts(why did I get rid of those shorts?!!)

Shoes: $2 at a thrift store(yes they are leather, made in Brazil and may even have been new[they still had cardboard in them])

Today's Outfit: A Romp in the Woods

Romper: $5(or was it $2.50?)at Winners

Blouse: $2.50 at Urban Planet

Boots: $12.00 at Value Village

Bag: The first bag I ever made, and it is made from some fabric I got at a garage sale for dirt cheap!

Also take note of the loosely up swept bun, apparently it is fashionable for spring. Yes, I have always been rather fond of the undone hair look, it's so very chic (plus, I just don't have the patience to spend that much time on it!)

My Dance Costume!

So I posted yesterday about my first dance recital, but what I didn't mention is that I made the costume my self!!! Yes, the hat, the earrings, the dress, and I even made matching booty shorts for underneath! Plus I painted the hat pins to match :)

I made all the patterns myself, for the dress I copied a pattern from a basic t-shirt from H&M (I love those shirts), for the shorts I used a legging pattern I made from a tutorial over on the threadbanger forums! You can find the amazing legging tutorial here!

It was great! At the dance recital, I got lots of compliments on my outfit! Mothers, other dancers and my teacher all liked it! Yaaay! Compliments always make all the time you spend making stuff worth it! Hee hee!

My costume!!

 

A closer view of my hat and earrings!

My mommy gave me a rose after the show!!! :D

Those eyelashes and lipstick were so much fun! Eeeeee! I love stage makeup!!! Hee hee!!!

So something that I don't think I have mentioned, is that I just started tap dancing in January. I found out that it's not very common to start dance at my age, especially with no former dance experience at all! But I just want to tell you all that, you are never to old to learn something new!!! Get out there and try something new, you never know you may really love it! I would have missed out on so much if I never put myself out there and tryed tap dance!!!

There was a group of older ladies, they called themselves the "Grooving Grannies"! I was very inspired by the fact that they didn't just sit back and let their brains get soggy!! They where out there dancing, getting exercise and having fun! It was so funny!! They were all dressed in stereotypical "old lady clothing", and they came out walking sort of shaky with canes, then they started dancing!!! It was amazing :D

My Lovely Sunday Outfit!!!

I wore this cute little outfit today to church! I have a confession to make though, I am not wearing a jumper. No, it is in fact a skirt with a belt to sinch in the waist :) Yes, quite clever I thought!

I do really need to get a tripod though, it's just awkward to have to find someplace to set my camera :P

Well anyway I have to go practice my dance, I have a dance recital to be in later!!! Aaaaah! This is so nerve racking. I will have to post pictures of it later! Ta ta for now ;)

Today's Rain Outfit!

Arrrrgh!! The umbrella is eating meeeeeee!

I went to great lengths to get todays pictures. I had to convince my sister to take some pictures of me. Because it was raining I couldn't use my normal set up with the timer (I didn't want to get my camera wet). And then my mom's dumb umbrella kept folding up everytime the wind caught it!!! Arrrrrgh! But notice how the boots match my tights, they are both plaid, black and the same shade of pink :) Yay!!! For some crazy reason I love matching! 

Vintage Sunday Outfit!!!

My lovely outfit of the day! (Yes I made a video! Isn't that exciting?!)
Earrings: They were from a grab bag of jewlery that I found in a antique store for about $3!
Shoes: From Value Village for $8
Dress: Calvin Klein from Winners for $10 (regular price was around $70)
Purse: Vintage from my grandma
Gloves: From a thrift store for $1
Necklace: A present for my sweet sixteen!

Tuesday's and Friday's Outfits!

Today's Outfit!

Today's outfit.

Vintage bowling shoes + todays outfit!!!!

I found the cutest outfit while searching for pictures of vintage bowling shoes! You can find it here.

I also found some vintage bowling shoes today(which is why I was looking for pictures of them) , and I think I really like them. My mom of course thought it was silly to wear bowling shoes, other than in a bowling alley. But they are the most lovely seafoam green! And they are pretty comfortable....so I went back and snagged them! Here's a few pictures! :)


   

                                                                                                                                                                          

Today's outfit, featuring the new yellow vintage shoes I got today! Yay! I love them! :D

The outfit of today!

My skirt was freshly pressed. But sadly I didn't think to include my accesories :(

After I got home I took another picture, but alas the skirt is a little rumpled. That's what I get for sitting down in a linen skirt!

This is a record! The above outfit cost only $6.50CAN! $6.50!!!!! The skirt was $1.00, shoes $1.00, socks $1.00, the purse $1.00, the necklace I made, and the shirt was a huge price of $2.50! Wow! At times I amaze even myself :D And all of this stuff was new, except for the purse which is my most favorite vintage find of all time!

My Sunday Outfit + Ramblings

     I have gotten one vote on my poll so far, and it was for more photos. So here are some of the outfit I wore yesterday! And please vote in my poll, I love to get some feed back. Or leave a comment! Just don't be shy :) Also I am so excited that I got 53 visits yesterday! How much better could it get?! A great outfit and 53 visits!! Ok, for me that's a big deal, 10 visits was the most I have gotten before. I should have posted my dyeing tutorial on the Threadbanger fourms sooner! Thanks to everyone for stopping by, and please come again! :D

     And now about the outfit! I found everything while thrifting, the skirt I got for about $4, the cardigan I got in a bag sale so I think it cost around $1, the silk shirt I got for $1, the purse I got for $2.50, the shoes were $15, one of the necklaces is really old that I got from my aunt, the other necklace I got as a gift from my sister and the socks are Chinese Laundry I think they may have been $1 too. Okay, I guess not everything was found while thrifting, the socks are new. So the grand total comes to *drumroll* $24.50! It just goes to show you don't need to spend a lot to get a great outfit! I actually have had a $10 outfit before I think, but it didn't have such good quality shoes with it.
