I'll Admit, I'm A Thrifty Chick

Have I mentioned that I only live a five minute drive away from the Swap Meet? It makes it so tempting to go on the weekends. Especially because I am usually back home in two hours or less. And I just can't beat not even spending more than $10 total sometimes.  On some really fantastic items too. 

Reindeers cost 2 for $1! These are going to look great on our Fireplace Mantel for Christmas! They were my best purchase of the day. 

Turqoise Sequin Christmas Stocking cost $1. I know someone who would just love this. That's if I don't end up keeping it for myself. It might just be too pretty to part with. 

Key Storage Box cost $0.75. I have never seen one like this before. 

I think I am going to use it to keep our batteries organized. Hey, it will work. 

Happy Birthday Headband cost $0.50. I might just wear this on my birthday every year from now on. ;0)

Silverware Basket Caddy cost $1. It will be great for the pantry. 

Just a few goodies today. I really like all that I purchased. Don't be afraid to give Thrifting a try. Till next time!

Halloween Costume On A Budget

Not much money at all has to be spent on a Halloween Costume. Almost every year I like to use items that I already have in my wardrobe. I just tweak them a bit, by adding certain accessories. Then, what do you know, I got a costume. With not much money at all spent. :0)

For Halloween this year I plan on being a Flapper from the 1920's. 

The Black Dress I already had on hand. Almost any little black dress would do. I had plenty to choose from. I thought this one with the feather neckline went perfect with the feather boa. 

Rose Bracelet I already had on hand. I actually wore this on my Wedding Day. This will be the first time I wore it since. 

Chandelier Earrings I already had on hand as well. 

Feather Head Band I had got on a previous Swap Meet Haul for only $1!

Pearl Ring I already had. 

Long Pearl Necklace cost $1 on a recent Swap Meet Haul. It's actually a really light blue and will match perfectly. 

Long Black Gloves I already had on hand. I actually wore these on my 9th Grade Graduation Day. How did I ended up keeping them this long? I have no idea. All eyes on me! 

Blue Feather Boa cost $5.99 at a Thrift Store recently. 

Try shopping your own wardrobe before going out and spending money on a costume. You might just have quite a few already in your closet. 

Here are some more ideas from Laurenconrad.com

Looks like I am not the only one with this in mind. 

Miss Piggy! I just adore her! 

The Cat Burglar! How clever!

A Ballerina. How pretty!

The Morton Salt Girl. How cute!

Halloween Costumes can be done on any budget. I think do it yourself ones are more unique and so much cooler than any store bought. 

Have a Safe and Happy Halloween 2013!
