❈Sac Thrift Chick❈

This Thrifty Thursday, I'm thankful for sunshine, feeling (mostly) better and finding petites at Thrift Town. I probably sound like a shallow Buzzfeed article, and this complaint would definitely be filed under #firstworldproblems, but as a short girl, the struggle is real. Unless I buy petite-sized pants, my legs are going to be drowning in extra length. And finding cute, age-appropriate petite pants is not always easy. The petite section at department stores generally caters to older ladies. So whenever I find a pair of petite pants that meet the fit, style and price categories, I practically do a happy dance in the dressing room. These petite Style & Co. tummy-control jeans from Thrift Town hit all of the criteria, and I want to say I spent $4 on them a few years ago. These same pants were selling at Macys for an original sticker price of $50 when I bought them. Score! Although I can wear regular-size tops, petites definitely fit better. And this polka dot blou...

As luck would have it, I've been sick since my last blog post. My throat started hurting Thursday and when I woke up on Friday, it was obvious: I was sick. Luckily I had recently ordered myself goodies with Christmas gift cards and my first present had just arrived. So I spent the next few days playing Kirby's Epic Yarn on Wii and doing not much else, and that includes getting dressed. I've basically lived in pajamas the last week, so I don't have any cute, thrifty outfits to share. I've been coughing so hard I've thrown up in the disgustingly full kitchen trash, on my blankets, on my robe, and in the toilet I sure wish was cleaner. So really, wearing anything other than pajamas has been pointless. I'm a sneezing, snot-dripping, choke-coughing, disgusting body of germs. Although, I am starting to feel better. Still, there is that old advice that if you shower and get dressed, you'll feel better. I generally find this to be a lie, but after my sh...

In keeping with my resolution to blog more, I'm instituting Thrifty Thursdays, where I'll show off my thrifted outfits for the past week or any cool, new thrift finds. Last Thursday, Aaron and I ran a bunch of errands and whilst out, I picked up this red sweater with faux pearl buttons for $0.99 at Thrift Town. It's actually a truer, darker red in person, and exactly what I've been looking for, although in pretty worn and stretched out condition. I need to take the sleeves in so it looks less frumpy. I also picked up my first ever pair of jeggings at Ross for $11. They are so comfy and unlike the pairs I tried on at Target, I have no worry of flashing crack. Friday was date night. We finally made it to see Gone Girl at the $4 theater inside Sunrise Mall. Well worth the wait. For date night, I wore my new jeggings, paired with this striped, stretchy tank top from The Thrift Store (a couple bucks, I would guess) and my fuzzy cranberry-colored sweater that was a...
