Last Week's finds... And Thank You

Last week, I went thrifting to my old Salvation Army Store and a new thrift store (new to me) by Sterling Rd. The owner donates part of their profits to rescue animal shelters. I enjoy talking to her about our times and tribulations here in South Florida.

I dress cheerfully with:

P2190396P2230062

My before seen yellow shirt from Target. C.C. Outlaw skirt, thrifted two or three weeks ago. 
My good old lime green sandals.

I do have long hair, people!!! I just like to wear it up in a pony tail or a bun because it is so easy and does not required much thinking!!!

P2190399

Purse, Hand-Made in British Hong Kong (this is what the inside logo says), thrifted in the same Salvation Army store back in 2002.
Bracelets one from Steinmart and the other a necklace from Bealls Outlet.
Ring from Peru, a gift.


And here is what I got (while staying within my small budget):

P2260084

3 necklaces, don't know from whom or where just like the color and how funky they look.
2 bracelets (the turquoise one in by Robert Rose).


P2260087P2260086

2 purses: one with fringe and a giant ornate circle on it!
The other one is all plastic with a bow, from The Limited (still had the original price tag).


P2260088P2260085

2 sweaters, one Cherokee from Target and the other one has no name tag, but is pink and grey!


P2260089

1 pair of Ana sandals that tied around the ankles.Very Roman style mix with that bight orange, priceless!!

Also want to take this opportunity to thanks my new followers:

The lovely Sacramento from Mis Papelicos and Iman from Mishaps and Miracles.

The fabulous Viviane from hippiebohoreloaded and The Account of The Comtesse de Ferveur.

The Very creative Judy from Just Another Day on Earth and Anika from By Anika.

Thanks So Much to all of you for following my blog. I'm enjoying reading yours and checking your style, your points of views and the way you live your life.
Hoping for a long lasting blogging friendships... Con Carinos, Ofelia....
