Cheep, cheep

Wednesday:
Jacket - thrifted
Tank - little boys Fruit of the Loom
Skirt - made of an old man's boxer shorts (yeah, yeah... I know...)
Sandals - Roxy

Thursday - so far, my summer involves wearing waaaaay too many bangles. I enjoy the clacking noise as I'm typing student immunization records for next year. Click. Clack.
Dress - thrifted
Bangles - thrifted, flea markets
Shoes - thrifted Nine West

I might be back on the blog on a more regular basis before school starts... I've been busy for a few weeks. I just finished (as in 2 minutes ago!) my t-shirt order for the Walker Arts Center Gift Shop. Little ol'me. In a modern art museum. 288 individually placed graphics, 288 graphics heat-set. DONE! Let's all do a little jig! Well, after I deliver them tomorrow at 3pm...

P.S. Only working 4 hours a day for only 6 weeks this summer has been endlessly relaxing and fun, but also, I'm ridiculously cheap now! I guess as a "fashion blogger" I should make a big deal about it, and how I'm on a "shopping ban" (which would be a "thrifting ban" for me I guess)  but I haven't bought anything, except for groceries, since June. I went to a few flea markets in early June with my mom, but otherwise, I've been on "OMG LET'S SEE HOW LITTLE MONEY I CAN SPEND AND ISN'T THIS A FUN GAME" mode since school got out. Seriously I'm enjoying it an insane amount.  Who knew being cheap could be so much fun?!?! Hmm, let's hope it sticks.

Oy!

My, oh, my I am terrible at this whole blogging thing in the summer. Also, ignore the general sweatyness, I am one of those crazy people who still goes running and refuses to turn on their a/c (even though the heat index was 105 the other day...)

Out in public and whatnot. Lemme know if you enter and I'll vote for you too!

Neon tribal fashion

I found this severely pleated piece of fabric in a thrift store in the "Halloween Accessories" section last October... yep right there next to the pirate eye-patches and cowboy hats. I have no idea what it's supposed to be but I finally sewed the ends together, added an elastic waist, and made a skirt! Yes, I put off this 30 minute project for 9 months. The point is, it's done and it's awesome!
T-shirt - Target 
Skirt - thrifted and sewed by me
Shoes - vintage Coach via www.burgerfoot.etsy.com
I was worried about riding my bike in it because it's so voluminous, but it was fine! 

Part Missoni Resort '11

Part Marc Johns' The Highlighter Kids
