Thrifty Dollars

ahhhh. Summer has finally arrived. 
When a gift, such as freedom, is received
one must take it upon oneself to do the crap they have been just waiting to do all semester.
And relax, ordering one of everything off the Arby's menu is a Winter Break thing.
But getting a goodnight sleep is important. I slept until noon today.
  Giving yourself a pedicure. Don't worry, my feet are now summer ready.
and if you are sick of Forever21 like I am (because thats honestly the only thing in the mall here, and I know I shouldn't complain because it is a miracle this town even has a mall, but I'm sick of only finding clothes that Kimmy Gibler would wear)
(if you need to look up that reference, I recommend it)  
then thrifting is definitely on the list.
And what better place to dig in bins of slightly and not so slightly used clothing than Bowling Green?
Where else has a bypass stacked with thrift stores with names like
Elite Repeats
Beverly Hills Boutique
GoodWill
Junkyard Gypsy's 
and of course, my ultimate favorite...
Repets thrift store (the thrift store/pet adoption option)
I of course love when my purchases smell like guinea pig urine.

Today was a day of friends and thrifting. YUM.




I started off my day with cash money
partly as a way to not overspend on my credit card, and mostly in fear some places won't take my card
Kentucky has the potential to be behind the times. 
Now, don't let this picture fool you. 
I normally don't take out this kind of cash for fun but because I had a such good semester with my grades,
I thought I would enjoy a little Andrew Jackson Action.

                     
                                                   
catering to addiction.
 


 Boots $16, sandals $12
           
Dress. $15


 skirt. $5.50

shirt. $6.95

 sweatshirt. $4.95

ear cuff. $7.50

And this my friends, is what I call success. 

 but when I got home I thought I would show my roommates what I got..



They didn't care.
They might be busy looking at a bird,
or watching the neighbor deliberately not picking up his dogs crap.
Who cares if he leaves it there? Its not like anybody else lives in the building and would potentially step in it. EVERYbody knows suede leather boots smudged with grass brownies are in this season....
I'm not bitter.



With money left over,
Japanese food and wine was.in.order.

You might be wondering what kind of ice did I put in Taylor'`s cup?
Or if you are a wine snob, you are wondering why on gods earth are we drinking $12 bile? 

I use frozen fruit as ice cubes.
and it's college, Sutter Home is a beautiful precious and cherishable thing.



The first couple days of summer are proving to be outstanding
lets hope it doesn't go by to fast
and that I don't have a heat stoke.
