Always Looking
Not a lot to post about for today, since it was Thursday and I spent a couple of hours at the pool. My attire was, again, suburban grandma. While I wanted to wear wedge sandals, I knew I'd be doing some shopping on the way home. None of these pieces were from any notable brand. Just a bunch of 99 cent pieces.
Most of my jewelry really was inexpensive. The only "real" piece is my diamond necklace, which I never take off. The other necklace was a dollar from a garage sale. The dangle earrings are mystery metal and from a friend. The single pearls are gold filled. You can't really tell the expensive from the inexpensive -- which is how I like it!
The thing is, no one can tell if you are wearing, cooking, or otherwise serving mark downs. So it's always worthwhile to be on the lookout!
My clothes are mostly second hand too, and I love them. I like wearing Birkentocks when I'm out and about. They're so comfy!
ReplyDeleteOh Nicole, I wish I could find Birkenstocks at thrift stores -- or even at a decent sale price. I would definitely wear them too!
DeleteI only buy a few Statement Pieces and mix them with the Thrifty Finds too, the Thrill of the Hunt is my Juice to find a Bargain and a Statement Piece, is always worth whatever is spent on it IMO, so you only need a few.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great plan. I wish I could find better statement/quality warm weather pieces. Especially more linen. That's really the Holy Grail for me!
DeleteI don't think you look suburban grandma at all. You always look so put together. My jewelry everyday consists of my wedding ring, engagement ring, anniversary ring, and the diamond band I purchased to remind me of my father. I also quite often wear my birthstone ring.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
You are so kind, Jackie. I am also actually wearing less of my other necklaces now that I have the one made from my engagement ring.
DeleteI always look for markdowns at the store too. It’s a lot of fun for me.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm a deal detective! And it is fun!!!
DeleteYou definitely don't look like a typical grandma! I buy what I love, mostly second hand but occasionally new if its from a small business with proven ethical practices. xxx
ReplyDeleteWhen I buy new, I often end up disappointed. It's hard to be let down when the price second hand is so low! I am kind of lacking in the panache department -- but I do have you for inspiration!
