Two Men Went to Mow

Day two of the Season of Goodwill! I'm enjoying it so far, although I sense that shoes are going to become a problem... I may bend the rules a little to allow myself shoes that aren't second hand. I'm going to have to at some points, because my running shoes aren't second hand (although my shorts and shirts mostly are) and most of the second hand shoes I have are my fancier high heels, and I can't wear those all the time for biking! So we'll see how long I last before I cave in and wear non-pre-owned shoes.
 Today's charming little number includes:
Dress: Old Navy via Goodwill
Shirt: Hanes via Goodwill
Tights: Target
Shoes: Walmart via Goodwill
and then I was wearing a white hoodie on and off for most of the rest of the day, which was thrifted Old Navy.
The lighting in these pictures is kind of weird but I didn't want to re-take them as there was some major neighbour drama going on today (involving one neighbour calling the cops on one of our other neighbours) and I didn't want to get in the way of all of it so I took my pictures and went back to work. Fun! Now I'm going to have a beer and start grading the quiz my students took tonight. Busy busy bees!

Season of Goodwill Day One

 Day one of the Season of Goodwill featured:
Skirt: Forever 21 via Goodwill
Cardigan: New Look via a car boot sale many moons ago
White shirt: Old Navy via Goodwill
Shoes: Charlotte Russe via Goodwill
Tights: Walmart
Necklace: birthday gift from my wonderful friend Darrel, bought from an art show we went to.
Day one was pretty easy. I hadn't worn this skirt or these shoes before but they both held up well throughout the day. The cardigan is one of my favorites, I wear it to death! I haven't worn the white shirt in a while as it's quite long, but it worked well tucked into this skirt. The necklace went really well with this get-up too; I almost never wear necklaces at work as we have to wear lanyards with our ID cards on but I felt like wearing it today. My friend Darrel went back and bought it as a birthday gift for me after I mentioned that I liked it at an art show we went to earlier this year, he's so thoughtful! Apparently each one is unique, which made me love it even more. I like to feel different!

I got told I looked hip by one of my friends at work today. I suppose that is a good thing? I'll take it as a win!
