When you are busy with daunting tasks such as homework, incredibly boring lectures, and trying to figure out how to NOT incorporate Ramen noodles in your diet, looking cute tends to be a desire that slowly slips away.
Being in Idaho, the weather is not necessarily ideal. Waking up to 25 degree weather in the beginning of November, silently screaming as I stare out the window and see snow starting to pile up on cars, I've had to learn to adapt.
Word to the wise: If you were born and raised in California, you are in for a rude awakening if you move anywhere else.
In Idaho it's a little harder to find some super cool stuff (that doesn't resemble clothing polygamist families in the 1800's would wear), but it's definitely not impossible.
A few weeks ago, I made my way back to the place I call home for the weekend. While I was there, one of the things at the top of my agenda was to go thrifting at my all time favorite stores.
As always, I was not let down. I put together an entire fall outfit that was completely, 100% thrifted (and cost a total of less than $30.00) and I was thrilled!
(Just for giggles)
Outfit Details:
Top: A dress from Forever 21, but I used it as a tunic because it was way too short to be worn with bare legs in the cold. ($5.99 at Savers, Fountain Valley, CA)
Pants: Olive green, put the holes in them myself ($3.00 at Savers, Fountain Valley, CA)
Shoes: Madden Girl brown, heel booties ($15.00 at Savers, Fountain Valley, CA)
Necklace: Forever 21 arrow necklace ($1.99 at Goodwill, Huntington Beach, CA)
Shopping on a budget is a challenge I've accepted as a hobby. (Now my bargaining skills are spilling into my grocery shopping.. Once again, woohoo for college budgets!)
