look at this pea coat, tell me i’m broke

I actually got out of my house finally! I mean not just over to the neighbors, but away in a car on a trip to Goodwill!
Zese ah zee sings I got at zee Goodvill store.

First up: 80’s kangaroo print skirt (worn as a kinda skanky dress) Now tell me this doesn’t remind you of the fantastic tropical bird print from the most recent Marc Jacobs resort collection.




I acquired the belt and jacket on this trip, as well. The jacket is from Gap. It’s raincoat material, and the inside is lined with some nice thermal material. Twas $3.50, as was the kangaroo skirt. The belt was $1.

Next: The most excellent sweater for $3.50. Josh was actually the one who found it, so I have to give him credit. He was like “Hey look at this most excellent sweater.” and I said SCOOP and I scooped it out of his hands.


I got those pants at a Salvation Army in Pennsylvania for $1.

And Last: Nice and simple pea coat. The buttons have some cute little anchors etched in. The tag and material made the coat appear to be vintage, but I wasn’t sure. I initially bought this to sell on my Etsy, but I do not want to sell something unless I am sure it is true vintage. It was $4, I think.

That is all.

I’ve been quartered away in my house due to the snow for far too long.
On Saturday our neighbor Heidi invited us over for some coffee and cake and to watch a pay-per-view movie. I was so excited to have an excuse to get dressed and take a shower!
It is soooooo cold outside. I didn’t wear any tights. bad choice. Good thing her house is approximately twenty meters from ours.

Song Of The Week

Magic by Only Son

 

I first heard of this guy when he opened for Regina Spektor a few years ago. My sister and I went to see her at Toad’s Place, and after seeing him open, we bought the cd from his tiny section of the merch table.
He is really excellent! I’m glad he is getting more recognition now. He totally deserves it.

 

NO! I’m Happy!
