I'm visiting home for spring break, and the combination of readily available transportation and parent-provided cash meant a long-due shopping trip or three. When I shop I like to try and hit a variety of stores and balance out more expensive things with much cheaper ones. I had to visit my favorite vintage/consignment shop in Seattle, Le Frock, and found a great-fitting purple and blue vintage dress which will be perfect for spring and work in the fall too. I also got a long black blazer at Atlas that will be great over dresses and jeans. Both were $9. I also got some purple satin ballet flats, a pinkish-red tank top, a pair of jeans, and a soft grey tee. My favorite thing that I'm still shocked I actually got was a soft printed Marc by Marc Jacobs top with ruffles. I also found a splendid tee and islii jacket at nordstrom rack super-discounted. The funny thing is all the items I got seem to coordinate together. Once I get the shopping bug, though, it's hard to stop... I found a great pair of converse online that have a perfect combination of colors. I like converse best with an interesting print, though the cream ones are somewhat appealing and feel less-played out that the darker colors. I'm really drawn to classic looks lately though, and I want to get a pair of vintage black pumps after wearing these ones I have at home which are comfy but the paint is peeling off (they're obviously not real leather), and I want a canvas or leather tote bag but I can't quite find one that I like enough. I'm going to get a pair of keds and hand-paint them for summer, and maybe I'll do more DIY stuff (like a GEEK shirt from Luella). I sewed a skirt out of an old pair of jeans once I liked it enough to wear it, so maybe I can be similarly successful with something else.
