Eyeglasses from zenni optical - $12
Thrifted cotton scarf - $1 Scarves are a wonderful and favorite accessory of mine to wear when I know I'll have to nurse a babe in public. Much more discrete than pulling out one of those apron things and hanging it around my neck
Purple cotton tunic, thrifted - $2
Adriano Goldschmied jeans, thrifted - $2 I'm naive. I had been looking for a pair of jeans to wear under tunics/short dresses and picked these up. They are wicked comfy because they have a thin maternity elastic band at the waist. No, I'm not expecting...When I googled the tag several months later I had sticker shock. $198! I prefer two bucks.
wedding band
sterling silver hoop earrings - $3 garage sale find
Italian black leather riding boots - $60 ebay. I nearly choked buying these but was slightly comforted when I saw Nordstrom carries them for $325.
This outfit explained sorting and reducing mixed numbers, danced to pandora with a fussy teether, went to the library, read C.S. Lewis, cooked meals, nursed the babe, amused toddlers, swept an ungodly amount of kid litter off the floor, did mega laundry... I mentioned to Sean this morning, as I stared down in wonder at a dirt pile containing crayons, dust, actual dirt and a lot of it, a fork, knex, canning jar lid, various papers, a few socks none of which matched, thread, yarn... that perhaps I should blog the piles I sweep up. I don't think most people could comprehend the possible size of swept piles in our house. And this is with daily sweeping! (You better believe I swept out the dust bunnies from underneath that chair up above before I let the camera click!)

Don't you just love thrift stores? :)
That is a fantastic tunic. Whole outfit is lovely. :)
Super finds!!!
P.S. You looks like a stunning college-aged girl who found a stolen moment in a quiet corner to read. Not at all like a Momma to many! :)
I can so relate to your dust pile... right down to the canning rings. Every day.
You are a lovely person, inside and out....thanks for sharing your life with the world!
I just have to say....
You have a fantastic eye for thrifting!
I have no idea about name brands and such...but clearly, I am under using the ability to shop on e-bay!
Love these!
Come help me find some fun-thrifty-cute finds!

Haha, Blondee - best compliment I've been paid in a loong while. :)
Quinn, glad to hear I have company in the dusty jar ring department. Made me smile.
Pamie, you're too nice. ;)
Kristin, if only we could go on a big thrifting adventure together!
Anna, I don't regret the boot purchase at all - you're right they are cozy and I wear them a LOT.
Jessica, the socks will be the ruin of me.... Can't we all just go barefoot?
