many prayers for the cutest mother EVER

Does anyone else read the NieNie Dialogues? and imagine living that cute of a life, all the time? She is adorable, her husband is adorable, her kids? cute overload. Their life seems so rich and perfect. Perfect it is not, she was in a plane crash and both her and her husband are pretty severly burned (the pilot died). I'm pretty pathetically sad considering I don't know her in real life.

PHD in excavation and digging

I finally bit the bullet and took full advantage of my only day off this week (including TWO doubles, blegh!) and went to the Goodwill Outlet store. You basically dig through piles and piles of stuff on tables, and the workers push out new stuff in bins and when they say, OK go ahead, you go dig in the bins of "new" stuff. Then they dump the bins on the piles on the tables, and fill the bins again. At first I was discouraged for like 10 minutes. I did a lot of digging and found nothing remotely interesting except one cute Oilily sweater. Then I hit a huge patch of small wool blazers. Then I found a few skirts. Man, those old ladies in there can be vicious. One tried to take the yellow skirt from this photo out of my cart and I got all ghetto on her "Oh no you did not just take that out of my cart!" and snatched it back. Can you see why???

 Anyway, I only spent about 40 minutes there. Two sweaters, four wool blazers, and four skirts later... my total was $9.40 (you pay by the pound). Holy crap! I'll be sure to go back again. I'm trying to get some fall stuff in my etsy for back to school and whatnot, but MAN is it too hot today. I finally had to turn on the a/c for the first time this summer cause trying on wool blazers in August is too cruel. Anyway, now I need to just buckle down and measure this stuff. I love shopping for my etsy. I don't mind photographing the stuff, both on me and layed out flat. But do I ever hate measuring everything. I don't know why. I need an intern. Anyway, here is some of the loot from today...

Seriously it works out to like $1 each. Ok, enough bragging about my thrifting talents. Bye!

too much a/c

Bartending in the blasting a/c all day makes me cold. I am seeking refuge in my stripy Le Tigre dress that I got for $8 at TJ Maxx two years ago. I usually look crappy in baby pink, but the dark brown makes me look okay. Laterz, it's gonna be a long weekend but I have Monday off! Yay!

Dress - Le Tigre

Belt - Fiorucci for Target

Wedges - Charles David

P.S. Who else is peeing their pants!! for realzies over Take Back Labor Day? Holy buckets is that an awesome line-up and only $10?!?!? I know what I'm doing that day...
