Walk, Walk, Fashion Baby

Hello!~ I missed you! I will check and repond to my comments later today.

I had a great loooooooooong weekend with Alannah. We watched more Girls Aloud than you think possible We watched “The Passions of Girls Aloud” (Nicola, Cheryl and Kimberly, and to be honest, Cheryl’s episode was by far my favorite, Push 10 baby, Push 10), The Tangled Up Tour, The Out of Control Tour, The entire “Off The Record” series and some of the What Would The Neighbors Say Tour.

We were mostly casual. Way casual. But we are still adorable.

(We don't match on purpose, we are just both super cool and wear moto jackets all the time.)

We also went thrifting and had dinner with friends and such. When we went thrifting I wore this:

Which is a great out fit to thrift in. I have on a black tank under the tunic which means I have on leggings and a tank and can try on just about anything anywhere sans dressing room. The boots slip off easily to try on shoes, and I have on socks. I am also wearing minimal jewelry so that things are easily off and on without lots of snags.

To be honest it was TOTALLY wasted this particular trip as I found NOTHING to try on. I found nothing in general. I was actually super disappointed at the Goodwill because they tend to get Fossil bags from somewhere and they had two of the styles I had been most interested in finding there….but someone had taken the straps to both of them!~ It was so disappointing, I know I could have straps made, but it would cost so much that I couldn’t afford to. Oh well!

Better luck next time I suppose. At least we got out of the house. Ha!~ We needed a bit of time away from the TV, I suppose.

I do the same thing when I thrift! Leggings and a tank under anything, so if you have to try on in the aisles, you're all set.

Too bad about the Fossil bags ... what a bummer!

Ha ha, nothing I'm wearing is worth mentioning except the jacket & the awesome necklace you made me! I feel kind of like I should've dressed better though, since I am bringing the standard down on your awesome blog. ;)

I think I forgot to tell you how much I LOVE that tunic on you in person. It looks great in the blog and it's always been one of my faves of yours, but in person it was SO great on you! LOVE.

One of my favourite parts of the trip was being "behind the scenes" for that picture. It was so cool to see you doing that in person since I read this every day!

I miss you like WHOA. :(

I hate when I go thrifting and don't find anything. So disappointing.

Great shopping outfit! I always do tights, slip-on shoes (no laces!), and something I can pull on/off easily.

You and your friend are so cute. :)

I love that you overdosed on Girls Aloud... and yes, you guys are both werking those moto jackets.

Love how that tunic and those leggings look on you!
