high on thrifting thursday

so harpershappenings has been doing the BEST link up EVER!
it's called high on thrifting thursday or HOTT because, of course.
i've been drooling over all her amazing finds the past few weeks wishing i could make a trip to a thrift store and show off my own stuff and i finally did!!
now enjoy pictures of the goods. 

first off we have the dress.

i always peruse the dress section at thrift stores even though i'm clearly a skirt and shirt kind of girl.
usually i don't find anything that catches my fancy but this dress won me over!
the bottom is this denim type of material which a jean-loving girl like me seriously cannot pass up!

the top part is a little whackadoodle though so this dress will soon be getting a makeover.
stay tuned for that!

next we have the classic shorts trick.
buy a pair of jeans, or in my case an ugly pair of capris

(hello disgusting Goodwill floor!)
and turn them into amazing shorts that will keep you slightly less ridiculously hot during arizona's brutal summer.

and last but not least, i've been searching stores everywhere for cute scarves to put on my head and found this beauty!

me + polka dots = love eternal

i seriously haven't had this much luck at a thrift store in months.
apparently the thrift store fairies felt bad for being so mean to me in the past and wanted to make up for it!

how could you not love these guys?
they're cute and they're delicious!
and i found out they're completely milk free! booyahhh!

**80s music**
nothing gets me in a better mood than some classic rock or 80s dance song!
my dad always tells me i was born way too late.
one of my favorites is you spin me round.
you can watch the real video here but it's super creeptastic so i choose to put the one by adam sandler from the wedding singer.
which also reminds me that i super d duper love the wedding singer.
mental note to watch that this weekend.
