It's been a whirlwind of a last few weeks, so today, this will be a bit of a digest:
First, I've been getting really prepared for Halloween. Halloween? That's a couple of months away! Yes, but when you want to thrift all your components, sometimes you've got to plan ahead. :)
I'm going to be this Klimpt painting, "Adele Bloch-Bauer I". Of course, no one will know who I am, except for art history nerds, but #worthit to get to wear a gold dress.
My base will be a white maxi dress found at Crossroads ($20), and a gold tablecloth ($5) and gold shower curtain ($4) found at Value Village. I'm most excited about the shower curtain, which will give me the eyeball shapes needed for the middle of Adele's dress.
I'll be sure to post the finished product after Halloween, with a step-by-step on how to create the look.
Last week, I went on a business trip to Luxembourg. If you don't know it, it's a small country sandwiched between Germany, France, and Belgium. One cool thing was seeing closed-loop upcycling of our office paper to toilet paper by a Luxembourg company TechnoGreen. Yes, there were jokes about using our last quarter's reports for our personal functions. :) Does your office do anything cool to manage office waste?
Next month, T and I are taking a much needed vacation. After sweating my way through Luxembourg, I decided to bite the bullet and stock up on some capri pants. Value Village delivered again, and I scored three pairs of pants for $13. The biggest win were the Calvin Klein pair, which run $60 new, and I got for $3.
Here's to the start of great fall!
