Lions and Tigers and... Bargains! Oh My!

Sidebar: Spotify is changing my life and may or may not be affecting my thoughts as I post today-- Read: super happy with oodles of music.  I'm trying to balance this effervescence with tomorrow's sure melancholy, as it rightly should be.

So.  Today, I feel unaffected and want to celebrate my compartmentalization of fear and grief with a post about nothing important.  And yet, like sports and movies, fashion in strange ways helps make the world go 'round, makes us forget, unite together, learn to forgive, and feel silly and happy again.  Yeah, you better believe it.

Let me begin with this:

I'm not a fan of animal prints in general, but like color blocking, I can appreciate it in baby bursts.  Animal print accessories?  Okay.  And then there's this:

And of course, this mouth watering spread from Vogue Korea featuring the gorgeous Arizona Muse.  Oh that name...

That fur looks real... and so beautifully styled with this burnt orange blouse.  Photo from Vogue Korea

I digress, this was supposed to be an excited retelling of all my recent thrift store finds.  Now, briefly, I present:

Look What I Found by Edith:
Seems like most thrift stores are full of barely worn F21 clothes, BUT every once in a while you stumble across a gem.  Here's what I've recently snagged from discount and thrift stores:
1) B.B. Dakota Olive Green Parka at Crossroads Trading Co.  ($20) after reading this article at The Beauty File and deciding it would be my summer/fall transition jacket.
2) Ann Taylor Oasis Dot Print Tiered Dress ($15, from $168) at Goodwill.  
3) Tucker Silk Poppy Print Tunic Dress ($8) from Goodwill.
4) Joe's Jeans Lion Print Raglan T-shirt ($5) from Goodwill.
5) Magdalena Wide Leg Pants ($30, from $198) at Anthropologie.
6) Franco Sarto Woven Cork Wedges in Cream ($30) from T.J.Maxx.

Needless to say, I need to post pictures.  I'll try to get on that.  But for now, happy thrifting, my friends!
Yours,
Edith
