OhMYGOSH. Yesterday, as you know I went to the Goodwill outlet(where you pay by the pound), and it was amazing! It was a tad overwhelming at first. It is in a large warehouse and nothing is separated or anything. Everything is in these large blue bins, in piles of clothes, shoes, or blankets & stuff. You have to dig, dig, dig, to find anything cool. But after I got my rhythm down, it was awesome! I doubt the people I went with had nearly as much fun as I did(they didn't get anything), but thats alright, because they made an effort and I had lotsa fun! Not everyone has fun digging through bins of dirty clothes in search of something which you don't know of. And thats okay. :)
It was sooo cheap, I got:
•An old, worn-looking, olive-y green, leather, briefcase thing
•A black canvas
tote that says "The Art Institute of Chicago" and has a lion on it
•A pair of black slack
pants that need some work
•A pair of silvery-purpleish-greyish stretchy
leggings/spandex things
•A pair of moccasin
slippers
•Another pair of
slippers
•A
jacket coat thing
•A
coca-cola tee
•A red & black
bow-tie

all for 10$
this place is amazing.
i love it.

I need to find the cord to my camera so I can download some pics... Ahh!

boogie boogie

Busy-ish weekend. At the moment, I am at Hailey's house waiting for her to come home from school. We are going to celebrate my birthday tonight eat yummy food(my aunts an amazing cook!) and watch movies or something, then tomorrow we shall take the bus to the mall. ah. what a boring word. I wish I knew a cool british word or something. Anyhoo. We are going to loligag and try on outfits and be silly and take pictures of ourselves. and eat yummy mall foods. {yay}
I'll upload some pics later. so keep checking up.
Thennn, on sunday I am meeting with a group of friends, we're going to eat breakfast and go to seattle to go thrift shopping!! It's this really cool-sounding place where they weigh your clothes. You pay by the pound! And I guess its like 0.79$ a pound!! I know, awesome. I heard that everything is in all these bins, and you get to dig around and find stuff. It sounds AMAZING!! But time will tell. I am excited, I just know that digging in bins, and bins, and bins, of dirty clothes with cool people is going to be A BLAST!! Hopefully I will find some cool pieces to add to my wardrobe...
tata for now,

silky pants!

I love the silky pants in Dries Van Noten SS08. They look so Elegant and comfy! I have been wanting to make some silky lounge-around type pants like them, for a while. The other day I was browsing a cool website I found recently called BurdaStyle.com -free sewing patterns, knitting patterns, and how-to's- when I stumbled upon an easy pattern(i am a definite beginner in sewing) for some comfy looking wrap pants. Anywhoo, I think I am going to try to make some out of fabric somewhat like these and we'll see what happens. My Great Auntie is like the Queen of Pack-rats and hopefully when I go to her house for Thanksgiving I can raid her HUGE assortment of fabrics & things!! Who knows, maybe I will find some fabric like this.
