NUBBY STRIPES AND POCKETS....

Hi darlings, I am having such a good week, I hope you are too.  Thank you so much for your sweet comments yesterday about my little suitcase vignette shelf.  I left a comment on the designer's blog, hopefully she will see it.  I thanked her and let her know that I linked back to her blog.  Anyway, today is my day off and I am getting ready to have a romantic little getaway with Rob.  He has been off this entire week which means I am eating really good food and having more than enough help around the house.  He is such a good man, how did I get so lucky?  He planned this little getaway overnight in Pennsylvania.  It's a great weekend to do this with Halloween being celebrated.  It will be spooky and romantic, maybe I will bring one of my books about haunted houses and ghost stories and read it to him while he drives.   He will probably just laugh at me like he did when I read the Pocono Ghosts stories to him.  I laugh too because reading out loud causes me to make mistakes.   Dah!

 

Found this little dress at Marshall's a couple of weeks ago for $16.99.  I wanted a striped dress that I could also wear as a skirt so this clearance item fit the criteria plus it has pockets and nubby material. 

  

I am wishing you all a great weekend early because I won't be back to blogging until Inspiration Monday so enjoy the spookiness, romance and spirit of this Fall weekend.  dawn xo

THURSDAY'S THRIFT....staycation

Have you ever looked at your thrift purchases after you get home from thrifting and realize that you must be in need of a vacation or a very long nap?  Yesterday, I had the pleasure of shopping with my close friend Jenni's mom on her birthday.  I called her in the morning to wish her a  happy birthday and let her know that I was going thrifting just in case she could snag a few moments in her day to join me.  Marcelle, is one of the coolest mom's you ever want to shop with or just hang out with.  She is funny, easy going, generous, stylish, and level headed( I need this type person shopping with me so that I don't just buy things because they are inexpensive).  She saved me a ton of money yesterday when she helped me weed out the things that I didn't need and that were not on sale. 
God that sounds so cheap.  It's not, it's smart and thrifty even at Goodwill.
Target shorts/$4.00 new with tags.
Polka dot belt/.99cents

Pajama or dress, it's still adorable for $3/new with tags. It is a little big but I can remedy that with a belt and wear a tee under it or just wear it to bed...so comfy.

Had to have it in pink too.  Also $3 new with tags.  This one is two sizes smaller and fits perfectly.  These must be junior sizes because I am no longer an extra large up top...wink and a smiling from ear to ear.

Polka dots are a necessary wardrobe staple for me just like stripes....$2 on sale

Marcelle discovered these Nautica pj bottoms in which I will wear as shorts this summer...$1.99 score. Thanks for the Sear Suckers Marcelle...ha!

Rolled the bottoms to showcase how I will wear them...

I bought this neutral sweater as I don't have many sweaters that I can wear collared shirts under so this was a bargain at $2 on sale. I paired it with the denim shorts and polka dot belt...looks so cute. 

I found this little paisley gem 2 weeks ago while thrifting and decided to add it to the mix.  $4.99 Goodwill.  A woman was eyeing  it up in my cart and asked  me where I found it while I was shopping.  Yep, I was the envy of all that day....bahahahaha!

Now, where am I going?  uuhhh, certainly not anywhere soon but when I do, I will be bringing all of these items with me...suitcase included.  Have a great day and thanks for dropping in.  I am linking this to Thursday's are for Thrifters at Brass in Pocket. www.spunkychateau.blogspot.com  click over and see her lovely, mint green, vintage find.  dawn xo
