Well MadeWell

This week the weather has been extremely hot! I mean is it Spring or Summer geez? Don't get me wrong, I prefer the warmer days but it's not so much fun if I can't enjoy it because I'm in a building for 8 hours and I can't go jump in a pool. Sigh.. Anyhoo, this what I wore on Monday. It was sweltering hot. The temperature was in the low 80s. This post's title is centered around this tee from Madewell. I love that there are stripes and polka dots together in one piece.

Goodwill Thrifting

    | No comments


This past Saturday, Goodwill Stores had a 50% off sale on all apparel and shoes. I haven't been thrifting in a while so I spent my day digging for treasures. I mean, literally the entire day and night. I started at 9 right after my dentist appointment, which by the way, I will have one final appointment for in July. I went to about 4 different Goodwills. I was the last customer in one of them. I also stopped at Buffalo Exchange as they were having a dollar sale on select items to benefit the Humane Society. There were some cool digs but you couldn't try on anything and I didn't like that so I didn't purchase anything from there. I also took a break halfway through the day and chilled with Mel at the Berkeley Flea Market. We ate shrimp and chicken roti from the Caribbean food vendor. It was my first time having one and it's so good. It's thick and very filling. Okay, back to the haul. I scored 16 items for a total of $59. Is that a steal or what? :-) Here are my finds.

Light pink blazer. $6.99


Old school denim blazer. This jacket is big on me but I couldn't pass it up. 
I will be altering it myself and I can't wait until it's done. $4.49


Casual Corner teal blazer. $3.99


The back of the blazer has a small hole but I really like the color so
 I am going to cover it up with lace from a curtain that I found for 99 cents. 
Finished jacket coming soon. 


Forest/tree bark patterned utility jacket. It has small holes here and there but the ruggedness 
of it is appealing. $5.49


Ann Taylor Loft red orange dress slacks. I love the gold button embellishments.
$4.99

J Crew floral ankle pants. My first item by this brand. $4.49


Gap cobalt blue broken in khakis $4.49


These are capris that I will cut shorter to about a 5 to 7 inch inseam. $3.99


Bongo high-waisted jeans. Remember Bongo!?! (or am I really showing my age?)
$5.49




I found this vest for Mel. It would look good with a pair of dark blue denim 
and some white chucks or cognac dress shoes. $2.49


Forever 21 navy and cream sleeveless cardigan. 
I usually need a large in their tops but this fits really good. $2.99


Red green and white striped sleeveless button down. 
I can wear this with some cut offs and boots. $2.49


Really colorful floral button down. I like the colors a lot. $3.49


Plain white crew neck tee. It looks pretty good for a white shirt from a thrift shop. 
The white shirts I notice usually have stains or are off white. When I showed it to Mel she
 thought I got it from somewhere else. $1.49




The last item that I bought was a red medium sized heart shaped bowl. 
I put all of my bracelets in it. .99 cents


Do you like to thrift shop? Are there any pieces here that you like?


                                          

Gold Sequins

This past weekend was busy as predicted. Unfortunately, I didn't get to complete my sewing project but I did cut out the pattern pieces and pin them down to the fabric. It's a start! Saturday, Mel took two of her god kids to see the movie The Croods. It was so funny! If you have any children make sure you take them to see it. Even if you don't you should check it out. I think I was the loudest one laughing in the theater. Sunday was a beautiful warm day out in the bay. We spent the day outdoors and basked in the sun. Okay, we didn't bask, but we did enjoy the warmth. I decided to wear a skirt which I rarely do and I'm becoming more open minded about it. Here's how I styled my gold sequin skirt.












Did you do anything exciting this past weekend?
