Do you ever wonder about the story behind a piece you purchase from a secondhand store? I always do. Who wore it? How did they style it? Why did they buy it? This top is the jacket to a dress(dress soon to be posted). Why was everything so "matchy-matchy"?
Anywho, I call this top "Mildred Braithwaite". Doesnt it make sense?

200th Post! (Photo Bonanza)
Today has been a full of happiness for me. It started off with a bit of toe painting. Uninterrupted.
Then around 9 am I hit my fave thrift shop and picked up a few new scarves and this brilliant feathered ditty! 
Isnt it just gorgeous. I drooled and drooled when I saw it 3 weeks ago but the shop owner was unsure how much he wanted to sell it for...Well, he let it go for a mere $5! He said he knew i'd wear it and wear it I shall! 
A word of advice for my fellow thrifters: Get to know your thrift store owner/sales people. They will be fair with you and will sometimes set things to the side knowing you'll love/cherish a particular piece.
Anywho, after that I headed back home to play with my new goodies. Little did I know that I would pick up 2 more surprises! My darling husband purchased this wide angle lens attachment for my camera!!!!! Hooray for thoughtful significant others :)
And these FREE glasses were in the mail too:
Yup, this was the best day ever...I guess its been a lucky day since this is our 200th post! Thanks so much for following, leaving comments and just being our internet pals :)
Muu Muu Time
Dress, Belt and Bracelet: ThriftedShoes: Rue 21
Earrings: Forever 21 (like 3 years ago)
As you can see, I was having a little fun playing dress-up in Mrs. Ropers closet! I bought this dress about a year ago with the intention of cutting it a little above knee length but I never got around to it. Today I was being lazy and decided to MuuMuu about the house. The shoes were thrown in when I had to run a quick errand.
Whos closet (from what sitcom) would you like to raid?

So, we really want to thank all of you for your emails of concern. We (Keesha and Deon) are doing okay. Like Keesha said, we are finally getting things back to normal. I have to tell you that nothing that you saw on CNN gave this situation any justice but slowly and with much prayer things will get back to normal. Please promise us that you will live life to the fullest... you never know when a some form of "twisted fate" will change your life.
Rolls of Thunder Here My Cry!!!
So, I have a confession... this is going to sound vain but bear with me here. I am very confident. This is not my opinion it is just the truth. You can only imagine how much confidence it takes to wear my hair like I do everyday in my profession... But there is one place where I lack confidence and that is my thighs. I havent worn under a size 12 in about 5 years and I have a gap in my teeth which I wear with pride but when it comes to my thighs I melt at the idea of them hanging out.So, I was at this fabulous thrift store in Danville, VA a few weeks ago when I was visiting my in-laws and I spotted these shots... I would normally chuckle and walk right past them but on this warm and sunny day all I could think about was how fabulous it would be to have on a pair of shorts... so I picked them up. With the dollar price tag calling my thrifty minded name I purchased them secretly thinking that I will NEVER put them on.
Well, here I am... Standing before you facing my fear... letting my Rolls of Thunder ring out for all to see.
This summer I have made a promise that I am going to try to embrace my think thighs or change them... yeah, there's a novel idea. If you don't like something on your body you can easily change it with a few weeks of work and some dedication.
Look out world... Here me and my thighs

So, I have totally missed you guys. Life is bananas and blogging is my mental escape. Take for instance I am currently in class. Yes, I am in SCHOOL. I decided to go back to school and get my MBA... It sounded like a good idea in 2010 but these 4 hour classes will KILL YOU. I am trying not to pull my hair out. (Pray for me)Black Cardigan: Thrifted

Earlier today Keesha came over and so of course we snapped a few shots and caught up on some gossip... you know girl time. I also got to see little miss Corrin (note, she had a walk in roll in one of my shots)... every time I see here she has a new phase in her ever growing vocabulary. The cutest little thing ever!!!
How do you past time? I need some suggestions!!!!
Thrifted Color Blocking
Outfit:Thrifted :)So im sure everybody that checks out our blog knows who Eboni is. Well yesterday she led me to a blog I had never seen called Pretty Shiny Sparkly . Kristina is challenging fashion/lifestyle bloggers to try their hand at the color blocking trend that is all the rage right now.
Im loving the idea of wearing such bold colors together. It reminds me of being 11 and wanting to be Punky Brewster or Blossom :) Needless to say Im all for it. Well, I didnt have time to post yesterday so Im a day late but I say, What the heck. At least I get credit for turning in the assignment right?
Mini-Bargain/Fashionista
Dress and Earrings: ThriftedDenim Shirt: Baby Gap
Bracelet: Present
Shoes: Mommy's
Hi kdr*S readers. My name is Corrin. Im 2 years old and I always want to help my mommy create posts. I enjoy getting dressed up, wearing jewelry and getting my nails polished among other things. I help my mommy decide which shoes or accessories to wear when we get dressed in the morning. Sometimes she forgets to accessorize me. Luckily, I know where she keeps all of my favorite sparkly things so I just take care of it myself . Im also an avid thrifter. Ive been thrifting and clearance bargain hunting since I was born so Im a pro. I even get free things by making friends with the people who work there :)
Thanks for reading my post. I hope mommy will let me do this more often. In the meantime, I will be in the yard digging for worms in my clean clothes.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
