A Little Bit of Housekeeping

So I'm thinking of including more content in my blog, because mainly I post outfits and gratuitous Katy Perry pictures. I do find a lot of inspiration that I never get around to posting, though. I may very well start posting more than once every day, because I'm not sure I'm too keen on mashing everything together in one daily post (like I did in this one). I think I'll do it gradually (and at my own leisure), but there are no rules here. Anything goes.

Today, I kind of freaked out over two items from the-factory-vintage on eBay

If this would fit me (I'm a 34 bust, not 32), I wouldn't be sharing it with you, I'd have it selfishly bookmarked for myself.


I own too many sequined things already to justify purchasing this.

I also figured I'd share with you a couple pictures from today. I wore this outfit already in my Wild Winter post on January 18th, but I realized, I never showed it without the hoodie! I thought it looked particularly nice with just the vest over the shirt.

Me at 9am, almost late for class.

And lastly, how cool is this Tetris quilt? Maybe I'm just too nerdy for my own good, but I beat a version of Tetris on an old computer when I was younger and didn't know what to do with my life once I did. This brings back fond memories.

Windows Shopping

I went window shopping on Etsy today because after I got home at around noon from a stay at my boyfriend's house, I haven't left my house. My car is trapped in my driveway and while I was tempted to go thrifting, I haven't been feeling that irresistable urge to spend all of my money the second I get it lately. It's actually quite relieving. I haven't shopped much for myself since Christmas, and I'm still sitting on a fistful of gift cards... Here's some stuff I would love to own, but for one reason or another, I'm not buying!! I never became a recessionista, per se, I've just always been broke!

I actually really want a pair of these shoes, but these aren't my size. I guess my problem is not knowing what key words to search for with these. Anyone know anything specific that'd help me out?


Cute dress. Oh, and it would fit me? Oh, balls. I just know I'd never wear it because it's a tube dress.


I've been thrifting sequined things like crazy lately. Otherwise, this dress might tempt me to buy it.


If this would fit me, it would already be mine.


Oh, aren't WE cute?! Only $8.


Oh, I want.


Love this.


Aaaand a little something from eBay. I would rock these if that one part was any color other than yellow.

Edit: I caved and did some buying tonight...

In my defense, I was searching for ruffly pink dresses to girl-ify my new motorcycle jacket (that I... ahem... forgot about). But now I sort of want to wear this just like the girl modeling it is wearing it. $25.


Couldn't help myself. Yow, $18 for a necklace.

Why, Thriftwares, Why!?

Just because I've put a freeze on my online spending (so I can pay my bills and afford Christmas!) doesn't mean I can't still browse and dream. Oh, but wouldn't these be nice to have? Here are some picks from Thriftwares on eBay that are ending on Thursday. I don't feel so bad as the prices do tend to get a bit steep for my tastes...

L-O-V-E purple.

So maybe I wouldn't wear this... But it looks amazing nonetheless.

Lovely. Fortunately for me, I just thrifted a ridiculous faux fur jacket the other day.

Oh, ruffles.

Give me more lace.

I've passed over some other epic finds on eBay lately too. As much as it hurts, I'm not looking to break the bank.

Sometimes eBay makes me so sad.

I wish I hadn't blown so much of my paycheck on four pairs of shoes this time around because of this lovely little dress:

I guess I can be consoled by the fact that it's much too big for me anyway. If it's your size, you can get it from goldlionvintage on eBay if you haven't already spent all your money like I did, though.

I've actually seen three different variations of this dress in the past month. I can always hope there'll be another.
