THRIFTY THURSDAY >> The Joy of thrifting

For many years I have been a thrifter. There's nothing like the feeling of searching high and low for something for months, or even years, and then finally, Omph! There it is!!!! My sister and I are complete opposites, however when we decided to go into this joint Etsy shop venture, we found thrifting to finally be something we could enjoy together, not only that but shes a modern chic lady, im totally vintage all the way! When we started the shop I let her browse around and showed her some key ideas for what could and could not be vintage/retro. Once she got into it I finally got to see myself from another view. Walking down the isles of the thrift store, searching everywhere, there it was, some thermoses that she had originally found, and she had found more colors!

 It was a great experience seeing her so happy to have found some similar and to know what they were! It was like winning the lottery. Oh, and just in case you wondered, the thermoses are in the shop! :) Happy thrifting everyone! May you find all your dreams!

WHAT I WORE >> Im Proud of my size!

Ive never really been ashamed of the way I looked. I wish sometimes I were healthier and exercised more, and maybe that I were thinner. However in all honesty, I still adore who I am! I'm like no one else and that's what makes me..me. When Rachele from The Nearsighted Owl began this great tribute to loving yourself whether your a size 0 or a size 20 I was thrilled. Everyone should love their body. No matter what your size. Please go to Rachele's site and check out the amazing group of girls, myself included, and see just how great it is to be you! So here it is ladies and gents. My truth.

Yes Everyone! Im a size 16! I feel like being my self is the only way to be, no matter what my size. Just for good measure, enjoy these also so very great pics below, and if your not afraid to blog your size. Go for it! Link up!
