Stripes and Chains

Here's the deal, folks. I went out thrifting today to a new place called Saver's. I had some errands to run in the city, and since we don't have a Saver's over here I decided that it was the perfect opportunity (they're opening a new store only 10 minutes from my house in March though!). I then had the BRILLIANT idea to create a "come thrifting with me" style vlog where I video some interesting finds and such. So I go on over, lalala, everything is wonderful (except when I got lost), only to find out that a) I'd forgotten my SD card and b) my camera doesn't have video capabilities. I am crushed. I've always wanted to make fashion/beauty Youtube videos, but I guess this is a sign that I'm just not ready for it yet.

Anywho, this is the outfit I wore. I'll be posting pictures of my thrifting finds later this week. By the time I was able to take photos, the lighting was too dark and I didn't want to use my flash since there is jewelry involved.

Have you ever tried making your own Youtube videos? What are some of your favorite places to thrift at, and have you tried anywhere new lately?

Also, this post is for Marionberry's "Trend of the Month". I'll be having my post linked on her blog, and doing a new trend every month, so make sure to look for me and check out her blog as well!







High-Low Zipper top - Kohl's - old
American Apparel Disco Pants - $85
Half Glitter Boots - Baker's Shoes - $12.50
Demin vest - Goodwill - $3
Silver chain necklace - Saver's - $4.99

(Sorry for the bad lighting. We didn't start taking these until after 4 o'clock and by then the sun was well on it's way down)

  10. Katie - you look gorgeous! I love that you are rocking the jean vest with stripes (they kinda are perfect for each other somehow!) And I love your photos...
