I have been wanting to go *thrifting lately, so for my birthday my family obliged. jeff stole away early from work and escorted the girls and I to the local thrift joint. it was a quick trip, since the store was packed, we were all getting hungry, the bladder-kicker was in full action and there was no way I was using the thrift store bathroom. but despite the swiftness of the thrift, we made some good finds. three items for the girls for ten dollars, including rilla's dress, petra's dress, and petra's sweater in the above photographs. I really love the embroidered flowers on rilla's collar, and the tiny rick-rack detailing. petra's dress is a great durable material, and I love the bold color color blocking. I have been looking for what I call an "accent sweater" for petra for a while, and this baby pink with red polka dot one was a steal for a buck fifty. easy stylin', and don't they look killer?
now if only I could figure out how to thrift for baby boy ... I was totally lost in the jungle of boy-wear!
*thrifting:: more than just browsing the thrift store, it is the serious combing of the racks piece by piece, item by item, risking germ and ick factor to find the diamonds in the rough. not for the faint of heart.
Your girls are so pretty. Is it just me or does Rilla look like... 15 in these photos?
ReplyDeleteYou're so right, thrifting is NOT for the faint of heart.
..all things ordinarrrrrry.
ReplyDeleteIt blows my mind how big these kids are already.
we've been talking a lot about how rilla is looking so much like a little girl rather than a toddler these days. she is changing so much.
ReplyDeleteand don't get me started on petra.
