Thrifty Finds: NORWEGIAN SWEATERS!

It's no secret that I have a serious shopping addiction. Seriously though, what chick doesn't? But instead of spending all of my money on Net-A-Porter I have fully embraced the good ol' Goodwill! I have always been a huge fan of thrift stores/Salvation Army/Goodwill Stores because I find the craziest shit for dirt cheap, and NO ONE else is going to have it which makes it even more exciting. Think about it, nothing beats digging through piles of old smelly clothing that an old man/woman may or may not have died in! But in all seriousness I love LOVE these places and lately I've been hitting the sweater goldmine, probably because it's about 100 degrees outside here and just the thought of wearing a wool sweater is vomit-inducing. These two handmade vintage Norwegian sweaters are so amazing, from the patterns to the intricate pewter buttons.

Can't beat this color scheme!

Thrifty Fierce-ness

Pattern Close-UP

I seriously can't wait for fall so I can wear these. In fact I've got a few more that I'll try to photograph. I've gotten some awesome stuff at the GW/SA lately so there will be more dedicated posts. I'll give you one hint: GOLD DUELING LION HEAD BELT BUCKLE.

VEGGIES & ART PROJECTS

My family went maddddd crazy at the farmers' market the other day so our fridge was exploding with vegetables. You know what that means? GRILLED VEG FOR THE CRIPPLED VEGETARIAN!

Louie Wants Some

CORN!

Holy Mushroom

I have spent the entire day drawing and sitting on my ass. I hate HATE not being able to do anything, but I guess it's good that I'm trying to be artistic again. My goal tomorrow? DECOUPAGE!

The Stuff produced out of boredom.

Matryoshka LOVE!

I've been stuck home for two days due to my cripple foot, and to say that I'm going crazy is an understatement. I legit spent 6 HOURS drawing a single doodle-esque picture today, that's how bored I am. FUCK YOU BUSTED FOOT! Hopefully I'll be cleared for work again by the end of the week.

I just got my newest tattoos on Friday. Well, I got them finished, they were started a month or so ago. And it's a MATRYOSHKA DOLL HALF SLEEVE! AND A FINGER BOW!





I have some older tattoos, 5 others to be exact, and I will get around to posting those at a later date. But a mother is always proud of her new kids. My Russian babies are my current pride and joy!

This is legit my fifth attempt at blogging. It's not like it doesn't interest me, I just forget about it and then by the time I remember I even have a blog I give up. But my mid-year resolution is to actually start a blog.

That and I fractured my foot and need something to occupy my time.

Background: I am a current barista, former fashion student, licensed esthetician, tattoo connoisseur who has a slight addiction to thrifing. So this blog is dedicated to skin art and thrifting! I post my scores, my ink, and other interesting things, and who knows? Maybe if I ever get readers you can send me your best thrift finds too.

Let's go, bitches.
