Found It!

Ok, so it's been quite a while since I've first posted.
I actually misplaced my blog! How irresponsible of me!
But now I'm back, for good. I promise.
This little find was at the Goodwill next to my college campus.
It's currently listed on my Etsy: 1980s Houndstooth Cropped Jacket
Tag: Daily Habit New York
Era: 1980s
Cost: $5

I've paired it with a little black dress I found at Papaya on the sale rack. It had a broken zipper, so I just fixed it with a few stitches!
Cost: $5

I put a little modern tutu over the dress. I actually paid full price for this one at Wet Seal.
Cost: $18

Lastly, another vintage item. A white lace stretchy belt, meant for square dancing.
I love these belts because they are so simple and have an adorable silver closure.
I actually got it in an Ebay auction with other belts.
Cost: $2

Total Look Cost: $30
Overall Tip: The thrift store isn't the only place to find great savings! Always check the sales rack at your favorite stores. Tons of them have $5 and $10 racks.

First Post

After procrastinating all summer long, as my last summer off until retirement, I've finally made a blog.
I'm dedicating most of it for my Etsy shop, but that's not all it's for. This blog will feature different trends, money-saving opportunities, and inspiration I come across as a costume designer and vintage shopper.

Stay tuned!
