Well well! What a weekend. As I mentioned in my last post, I was in Atlanta for the day today and boy was that a quick, but productive, trip. My lil sis attended the IJM Pageant as a guest Queen and my mom and I went with her. Traveling with my girls as I call them was perfect! I love spending time with the two of them, but when I get them both to myself it's even better!
I also had a little time to do some thrifting. I went on this rampage and told myself I was done thritfing until my birthday (August) and I even confessed this to my fiance, and Prissy from Rush our Fashion. While I really do LOVE to thrift, I felt that I was aimlessly thrifting. So, I told myself I was going to go cold turkey. But after talking to my mother and going through my closet, I decided to take a step back , write a list of the items I need, and start there. that way, I will have a purpose to my thrifting. I am in the process of revamping my accessories & jewelry so I can always use some new and unique pieces. And as I build my Spring/Summer wardrobe, I plan to keep my word and only buy what I need. i have it all written and photographed so I think this will be easy for me to do. Also, because I am trying to tone up and drop a few lbs, I feel that me purchasing on my needs will motivate me to work for my ideal shape even more. I LOVE me and I LOVE my curves, but its time to get healthier and its time to get MOVING! I need to get it together and I am on the right track!
All in all, its a domino affect and I am excited to see how I progress. I hope you all enjoy my pics of the weekend and I PROMISE I will expose the details of my giveaway tomorrow. I don't want to crowd this post with too much. Take care, be blessed and speak with you soon!

DeleteGreat finds!!! I do enjoy thrifting but some of the thrift stores down in Miami aren't that good. They are either expensive or they lack any hidden gems. Glad you had a great weeekend :)

oxoxxo! thanks, ash!
Deletethrifting is a lot of fun, and I think going in with a list of things you really want is a great way to avoid bringing home stuff just because it was a good deal or you thought 'someone' might fit it/want it.
ReplyDeleteEven if you don't buy anything, it's still fun to go in an look around.
