Little Red Dress

Summer is officially over, classes are in full swing...and I just want to go back to sleep.

Even though I'm not as pumped about school as I should be, I'm excited to work on my blog again. I've been pretty lazy these last few weeks, spending hours reading the Stephanie Plum series and watching Madmen. Neither of those activities required me to get dressed, so that's my excuse for lack of outfit posts this month.

Now that I have to be somewhere everyday, my summer uniform of denim cutoffs & t-shirts is not OK anymore. I don't feel very confident if I don't think I look my best. It's obviously a psychological thing, but it works for me.

Last Wednesday, I wore a vintage dress and belt from estate sales in San Antonio, Forever 21 earrings, and Sam Edelman sandals.

Thrifty & Nifty in Houston

On my way to Baytown this afternoon, I decided to stop by the new Family Thift Center that opened up earlier this month. I didn't have Angus with me, so I had plenty of time to dig around the store without worrying about my cat dying in a hot car. I'm a considerate cat owner.

I found some great items, but it was kind of annoying that nothing was organized by size. I'm used to at least a few signs indicating small, medium and large, but everything was just organized by style and color. I think this thrift store might be difficult for someone who can't eyeball their size to really take advantage of all it has to offer.

In the end, I bought two shirts, a pair of flats, a scarf, and a purse for only $20. I'm sure I'll be wearing some of my finds later this week.

On Monday, I wore a Banana Republic shirt, Forever 21 shorts and earrings, and L.e.i. shoes from Walmart.
