[Insert cheesy "Thrift Shop" lyric here]

Well, hello world! Back again for one more exciting entry in the world of Natalie! Today Danielle and I went thrift shopping!

Draped in leopard mink

I know, I know, and before you ask, we did listen to Thrift Shop and constantly sang the lyrics when we saw something even remotely related to the songs (see photo #1). We don't deny that Thrift Shop is wonderful nor do we deny ourselves the pleasures of immensely screaming the words "I'M GONNA POP SOME TAGS!"

I should say that thrift shops can be wonderful but my area of location doesn't exactly have the best selection. It takes a lot to actually find a goldmine here in redneck, Pennsylvania, but when you do find something, it's quite amazing. 

Flyaway

The first lovely piece I picked up was a cute cover-up I hope to use during the fall/winter months. I guess this one would better be categorized as a "flyaway" (I believe) as it has no buttons. I actually used to have a really gorgeous "flyaway" but it ripped from wear; so when I found this one, I fell in love. It's H&M, which means it's pretty good quality, and I walked away with it for only $5.99, which is probably much better in comparison to the price H&M would charge (not to say H&M is expensive, but come on? $5.99. That's a bargain bitch!).

My 80-year old sweater

I also picked up another H&M sweater which Danielle commented on by saying "that can be categorized in your 80-year old self."Whatever, I actually quite like it, it's pretty oversized and would look cute off the shoulder. Side note: I'm not a fashion guru by any stretch of the imagination, I wear what I like, hence, this gorgeous sweater some would characterize as an item in an "80-year old's wardrobe." This beauty was only $4.99, another excellent bargain, if I do say so myself. I was super excited about it because I love the cream color, as well as the look of it. I don't know. Let me know what you all think! I'll have to see what I can pair it with to not make myself look like an 80-year old. Just kidding, I love you Danielle!

Hipster figurines

I realized that thrift shops do bring out the hipster side of me. However, to clarify, I am not a hipster, everything I like that others may like ironically, I like out of pure happiness. Just thought I'd clear that up.

So yes, the "hipster" figurines are quite interesting. The one on the left is a pig, which I bought for my sister because she is quite obsessed with pigs (she named him Maxwell). It was only $1.99 and I felt like I should bring my sister something back from my thrift shop trip, souvenirs rock! The one on the right is a little mouse with a carrot. I basically couldn't resist him, especially for $.49. He is so cute, I'm trying to figure out what to name him, suggestions would be appreciated!

Wicked and Disney!

Lastly, I picked up these two gems. The one on the left is a Wicked cup with a green lid. Basically, my mom loves Wicked and cups from Broadway shows. She has a Wicked cup but it doesn't have a green lid so when I saw this, I bought it. It was only $.99, and I know that they're sold for $5.00 on Broadway (granted, they do come with a drink), so this was quite a deal. I was also pleasantly suprised that someone in this area of Pennsylvania would actually see a Broadway musical. Proud of whoever donated this!

The glass on the right is from Disneyland. Apparently it came from the 40th anniversary of Disneyland, which I have calculated to be from 1995. I don't know why I got it exactly. I think I just like to pretend I've been to Disneyland (sadly, I have never visited Disney World or Disneyland as it has never been something my parents would take me to, no matter how obsessed with Disney I am). I couldn't resist, Mickey Mouse (and for only $1.99!), and he's here and lovely, and I'm happy. Now I can smile and remember my trip to the thrift shop whenever I drink out of it, not my trip to Disney Land in 1995, which NEVER HAPPENED.

Anyway, overall I spent around $16.00. A small portion of my $20.00 I decided to bring ("only got twenty dollars in my pocket"). It was quite a trip, and I must visit again soon.

Thanks for visiting! Love you all!
