Crazy Checks & My Precious

Happy Frock on Friday!

The dress was found at my usual $5 bag sale. Meaning it cost me about 75 cents. I got others at the same time... but sadly it looks as though most of them are too big for me.

"Touch my shopping bag and I will beat your @$$!!" (Not really but that was my caption for this photo when I seen my face. )*lol* I am IN LOVE with this shopper bag I found. First off it was sitting outside in a FREE BOX... BUT WAIT... as we are pulling up to the shop and I spot it. Store employees are walking outside towards their free stuff. One of them grabs the bag *WHAT??!*

She carries it in the store and I over hear her say she thought someone donated it and threw it there. But then another employee said no "We got it yesterday and so on so put it out their because they didn't think it was worth much" I know if I don't speak up soon this damned bag will get a pricey sticker. So I blurt out from the isle "How much do you want for that bag?" Then they look puzzled. "Ohhh gosh I am thinking" One says "Two fifty?! looks at the other one (Do you think that's okay) "Uhmm yea okay says the other lady".) So I tell them I will think about it and then after that I hear "If she doesn't buy it we can get more for it." *Sigh* So I just say "I will take it can you hold it for me until I am done shopping."

Sadly the original owner of my fave thrift store left in the middle of Feb. These people who run it now are all new. (Most of the old staff left the same time as the old owner) I see some higher pricing going on and changes every time I visit.

As they say.... "Nothing lasts forever"

I really have to start getting some stuff done outside soon. The yard looks like absolute trash and I am limited to where I can take pics right now. No one wants to look at dead plants from last summer. Am I right??!! *haha*

My Mother who was with me when I purchased it ... *Hates it* And thinks I should sell it. My Dad says: "It's LOUD & different" (But it did make him smile so that has to count as something.) I think.....
And now you see how hair lazy I was. Clip here, clip there, clip left, clip right.

Wearing my green Bagel shoes Mr. bought me in the fall. They were perfect because this dress is TOO LONG. I am going to hem it so I don't wreck it. I swear the original owner must have been close to 6 feet. It puddles on the floor on my 5'4" body.

P.s. I bought my first pair of original 60's Cateye frames a couple days ago.

I am going to get them filled with my prescription *HOPEFULLY*

I am going to have to look for a place that doesn't mind working with vintage frames.

*MEEEEEOW*

I am excited!
