Head in the Clouds

Spring Break came and went.  I spent the entire week at a Mission Trip to San Antonio and wore shorts and a t-shirt for 99.9% of the trip so the return to Dallas and normal clothes was a welcome change.

My husband's family joined us for the weekend when I returned from San Antonio and we had such a fun time with one another.  It's always a blast being a tourist in your own city and we visited some of our favorite spots in city including the Dallas Museum of Art, Klyde Warren Park and Bishop Arts Square.  

All in all, we had an absolutely perfect weekend.  

Unfortunately, I also caught a bit of what I believe to be a sinus infection or Allergies Gone Wild in my body.  Either way, it's been an uncomfortable week as I've tried to continue work as normal while my head feels so cloudy that I can't think straight, but I just keep trucking along hoping that it'll pass. 

This dress was brought on a recent thrifting trip and it took some convincing from my sister to buy it because it has the appearance of being somewhat frumpy due to my lack of boobage.  However, it was perfect for a day like this.  The cotton in the dress and the looseness of the fabric helped keep me cool when it got warmer in the afternoon.  It'll end up being a staple in my wardrobe this Spring for sure. 

Anyhow, hope your Spring Break was a good one!

Thrifting in Thunderstorms

On Wednesday, some pretty bad thunderstorms hit Dallas right when my sister and I decided we were going to make a quick trip to the thrift store.  The lights were flickering and the thunder was clapping but we pushed through it and it was so worth it cause I found these sweet Gap shorts for $3.93.

I also found this amazing grandma skirt...as if I didn't have enough already. 

But seriously, check out those colors.  It's so gorgeous.

And finally, the ultimate find.  I'd tried this Anthropologie dress on almost a year ago when it was on sale for $80.  I couldn't do it.  I justified not buying the dress by saying it didn't even fit well, but truthfully, we all know it's because I'm so cheap.  However, after seeing Indiana, I'd wondered if I'd made a mistake. 

To be honest, I rarely even try on clothes at Anthropologie cause I know I won't be able to talk myself into buying anything there unless it's 80-90% off, which is exactly what I ended up paying for this dress.  Yes, you heard it here.  I bought this dress for $9.99.  

Sadly, since we had VBS all week and we're headed out on a mission trip this week, all my cute clothes will have to wait for me in my ridiculously full closet.  

So here's to a week of crazy youth, hard work and the beach!

See you next week!
