Nature calls

There's a beautiful botanical garden in my neighborhood.

 A creek runs through it and there are paths that wind through plots of flowers and groves of trees. It's a peaceful, calming place in the middle of a hectic city. I enjoy going here to write and/or daydream.

Swung by today to take some outfit pics.

Just to show off my thrift finds. I've been looking to add some color to my vanilla/chocolate wardrobe.

Dang it, now I want some ice cream.

So I've started with jeans. Have been on the hunt for colored ones and found two pairs at my local thrift store - actually I think that's what it's called...The Thrift Store.

One was this light pink pair for $2.50. A nice straight leg, not skinny, although the waist might be a tad high. But as I'm writing this they have comfortably stretched and have fallen a bit so they don't feel so much like mom jeans anymore.

And this purple pair for $1.50.  Don't ask me why the discrepancies in price when it's at the same store, I'm just glad they do it! These ones are more of a skinny cut and no they don't have pleats, it does look like it in the pic (and like they are bleached) but no they are perfect. I hit the bulls eye twice with this shopping trip especially as I never try on there. My success rate at doing that is about 90%.

Do you try on the clothes there or just hope for the best??

I'm linking up today with Meagan from Spunky Chateau. She started a Thursdays are for thrifters link party. If you are a thrifter and/or want to be inspired by some thrifty finds check it out!

You might have noticed that I posted earlier today.

Why two posts in one day? Why am I kissing dog tags*? Why do fools fall in love?
