Sugga's Thrift Boutique 2-day Moving sale

UPDATE: Sugga's Thrift Boutique is now located at 299 Peter's Street, Atlanta, GA in Castleberry Hills!


One of my favorite thriftstores in Atlanta, Sugga's Thrift Boutique,  is having an amazing $5 moving sale today AND tomorrow guys!
I'm super excited! I will probably pop in today and possibly tomorrow.  I just want to share this great news with all of my fellow thriftstore addicts.

Golden velvet sofa + Oufit of the day(s)

I had wayyy too much fun taking an entire thrifting-therapy day last Saturday. I bought a couple dresses and a couch... No big. Yes a whole entire couch! YAY! lol. So after going through much trouble all week I was able to finally retrieve my prize. 

 I bought this yellow velvet couch with button tufting  from FODAC thriftstore for cheeeaap! So cheap we won't even discuss. No weird smells or dust, or spills either. You can tell it sat in someone's house under plastic since the 50s. I love FODAC because they are in somewhat of a discreet location and they sell great stuff for next-to-nothing.

I am extremely proud of myself because I rented and drove a mini van, and had the couch loaded up...then unloaded (by myself) and returned the truck! Go me.

 

I had to use two high chairs to get the thing out, because vans don't come with ramps. (Who knew?)

Pictures of it in it's new setting coming soon.

Love these! They are like green jade-ish jolly ranchers.

Bought this dress!

No. Not these old school Jordanche built-in overalls

Loved this peplum dress, but it didn't fit.

This is clearly only a side view for a reason.

I really liked this dress! I bought it.. and its going to be rather warm due to it's 100% pure  Polyester essence. Yikes. 

This was really cute! But also way too  big. Oh well.

For $0.25 I should have tried to find someone to wear it right?

"Farewell cardigan" + OOTD + thrifted sweaters

I had an unusually good day searching for some spiffy new clothes for the BF. I found soo many sweaters! And even a cardigan and pair of khaki colored cords!  As for myself, though I hadn't planned on looking, I found a couple of items I'm excited about.
I like to limit myself to only a few items at a time......
So many pieces went back on the Goodwill racks

"The thing about thrifting is that you end up doing alot of laundry"--at least that's what the BF says.
I guess if you're an eager beaver and you have to wear the clothes the next day. Lol. No need to state the obvious then...we are both wearing tops from yesterday.

Before I get started... Here's what I wore yesterday.

After doing some extreme closet cleaning I found this cardigan

 and wore it in a 'farewell-outfit'. This was my first outfit with my gold & robin egg pendant. Out with the old, welcoming the new.   

 

 It's just time guys. Sometimes you should say goodbye.

I release you little cardigan, back to the thrifting circle of life.

• Tortoise shell cat-eye shades- beauty store (Lil'5 points)
• Vintage gold & robin egg pendant-Value Village
• Suede turquoise oxfords-Shoeland
• Ann Taylor cardi-Goodwill
• Orange pants-GenX

Here are a couple of items I bought for him....

brand new Old Navy sweater

BDG cardigan

And this super soft lamb's wool sweater from a borrowed picture. :)

And for me...

Vintage sheep brillo pad wool sweater.

Just kidding it's not too bhaaad.

 ::hehe::

 I want to possibly wear it with my yellow jeans and these "riding boots" and a collared shirt when it gets cold. Maybe?

Err...this is a little blurry. Anyway it's the top I bought yesterday. The contrast of the stripes and flowers made me think "El dia de los Muertos". So I paired it with my blue pants from GenX to brighten it up.

 Better view? Kinda. Anyway...you get the point.

• JW Los Angeles tee- Goodwill (more here)
• Crochet gold belt-Value Village
• Turquoise pants-GenX
• Black knot sandals-Shoeland



   

Thrifting in the Mountains

Today I am wearing one of the dresses I thrifted Saturday! It's a pencil dress.

Here's a sneak peek.

I will say it had one of those terrible "En Vogue"90s, 6-inch side slits and spaghetti straps.

::sighs::

 But I think it was the pattern and color were it's saving grace. I think you can update and rock just about anything though.  

Saturday  I climbed Kennesaw Mountain with a couple of friends.

It was such a great experience and quite a serious workout. I mean... the downhill jog was crazier than the uphill climb for some reason. Great, great work out. It was sunny, but the trees kept it about 72 degrees in the shade, so it was excellent weather for this outing. 
Unfortunately, due to a lack of sufficent exercise in recent weeks I was not able to capture the moment(s) like I would have liked. Lol. One of my friends did happend to snap a quick pic near the top

She sent a text with it "...just in case ya'll missed the view from breathing hard...lol"

::fun times::

I am looking forward to going back soon! While I am sore today, I'll admit, it was totally worth it. Since we were in Kennesaw, which happens to have and abundance of little country thrift shops, we decided to try our luck around town. It wasn't one of those days where I wanted everything, possibly because I had just run down a mountain, but it was a pretty good day for thrifting anyway.

I'll post what I actually purchased later, but just to give you an idea of the terrain..... here are a few photos.

So many colorful late 80s/90s dresses guys....I mean so many! I kind of liked all of these, but none of them were actually my size. They were all updateable...well most of them. The pinky-plaid sundress though...believe it or not it's made out of heavy windbreaker material. Like that swishy pants work-out stuff from the 90's.

But...I really liked this little saucer. Those who know me, know that I  have a "thing" for cups and plates. Wouldn't it be perfect for storing little gold rings and pearl clip on earrings?

Shorts that we tried on.... I liked the highwaisted-jean ones, with the big 70s pockets...but my friend decided not to get them. They were suuuper cute on her though!

This old vintage clutch was super heavy! The only turn off, which I guess would have been a turn on for some, was the interior.  It was legitimately the fur of some kind of unfortunate mammal. I just felt icky after opening it. I think aside from it being an animal at one point, the way it was so crudely sewn/glued in bothered me.

Poor thang.

Moving on... ::happy place::

I looove this old beach chair! There were two and I really wanted them...but I have no where to put them...yet. Okay, now that I'm thinking about it...they would have been really cute in the backyard. I want to do one of  those rock or sand pits in the back yard guys.

Like this one from my Pinterest board "Garden".

OR

This one from Hall Fleming ('s) tumblr.

Neato! (And I think this one was a DIY project.)

Fresh out the Goodwill showcase... This minnie watch. The best part about it, and my main reason for buying it, was it actually fit my wrist without me having to go through buying another band...annnnd the band is gold. I think it makes it more mature? No?
 My parents decked me out in Minnie mouse as a kid. I still have a Minnie Mouse backpack and now that I think about it, I should have used my Minnie twin bedset in college...ehh..maybe not. lol.

I was super excited to wear my new moccassin layered boots... I know you can't really see them! Ah...well. Next time guys!

bags. I found a cute Aldo structured bag and a wallet at Goodwill...last week... currently carrying both.
