Got some spunk!

The end of a dry spell...


I have been pretty busy lately, surprise.. School is starting to pick back up! However, at the same time it is kind of easy oddly enough!  Last semester I came down with temporary insanity and decided it was a good idea to take 20 credits and do an internship.  I made it through with all A's and B's and a whole new work ethic! This semester feel like a BREEZE and although I have some huge projects to do...it is manageable.  Like I mentioned before, I am working on volunteering at Goodwill again and learning more about my future employment (crossing fingers!!). Oh, what am I thinking.. Happy Valentines Day readers!!! May you all find love in living and being happy! I have been on a couple thrift trips- 1 new dress, 2 new skirts, some decor, 1 sweater, 1 cardigan and I think that is all.. haha on a side note, I love those all state commercials with the mayhem guy. Continuing on... I finally got a new phone-- the verizon iphone and I am VERY satisfied- yay staying up to par with the rest of society! Also I am putting myself out there, I want anyone who has questions, or are curious, concerns...to email me with questions and especially those regarding sustainability- it's a new- but kind of not new thing that many people are scratching their heads about, so please ask and I will do my best to use my education and help you out! I want to serve as a resource to help those who would like to make a difference, even if the changes are small! :)

Two of my new finds!











Sweater/Goodwill/Carolyn Taylor/$3.99
Cardigan/Goodwill/Liz Sport/ $2.99
Jeans/ American Eagle/ $10
Shoes/ Goodwill/Hush Puppies/$4.99- NEW!!!

I love the spunk of this cardigan and the casual comfort of this outfit! See, I'm not all skirts and dresses! aha

In just shy of three weeks I will be taking a road trip with a few of my favorite gals to Panama City for Spring Break! This minor heat wave in the Mitten is making me antsy! :)

The Snowmageddon & Throwback, ahh!

I am pleased that after all the excitement the news and weather people were stirring up..that the blizzard actually happened!

I had to go into work anyway! But it's not so bad.  I live about 4 blocks away and I can get my homework done since this building is completely deserted! I again, haven't been feeling well so I was not able to do any pictures these past few days, given the weather as well.  So I decided to post some of my previous pictures that I banked  up just for this very occasion!

There was just a little snow outside at this point!



Cardigan/ AE/ 
Skirt & Tights/ Forever 21
Shirt- Thrifted
Shoes/ AE

My boyfriend and I take a trip to Lansing every now and then to eat at the most yummy restaurant (next to Panera ;) ) PF Changs!! Spicy Green Beans are ze best!!


In my last post I was wearing this vest above ^ I thought it would be a good idea to show how I styled it for the Fall!


This is the same dress as above but styled differently with a V-neck & Tights! This was one of my favorite spring outfits because of all the colors! 

I had my best thrift experience TO DATE with one of my besties, Amanda.  This is not because of what I found, well.. it's part of if, but because of the most entertaining store owner I have encountered! As you may already know my friend Amanda went to Douglas J and she is a wonderful stylist! She does my hair a lot for me (thanks!!). I went to her house last week to have my hair curled for the festivities that would ensue that weekend. Afterwards we decided to go to Captain Bazzarros. Cpt Bazzaros is not any ordinary thrift shop. This shop operates by rented spaces.  Anyone can rent a spot, load it up with anything they want, and wait patiently for it to sell! I think it has a pretty good turn around because unlike other thrift shops, you can make offers on the items- do a little wheeling and dealing! We spent close to two hours in the store hanging out with TimJim.  This is his given name now because I don't think he knew really what his name was...either Tim or Jim haha! He had us try some drinks, chatted, and we bargained for a few items.  

I love Harry Potter and as SOON as I spotted this.. I knew it was coming home with me! $2


Retro skirt, loves it! $5

My new ring that I AM determined not to lose! $2
