The Always Practical Poncho

day9

Well I woke up to a very peaceful Saturday morning, due to the fact that Zach was away at a class all day.  He was less than thrilled but I was a little excited to have the whole apartment to myself for the day.  When you're married, these kinds of days can be few and far between so I decided to get out on my own, grab brunch, rent a movie, and kick back and relax.  So long as I got all my chores done!

But all that changed when I got a phone call from my friend Diane asking if I'd like to hit up a local flea market.  Of course!!!  I didn't plan on buying anything but I just wanted to go along for the ride.  Well, the flea market wasn't in existence, so we went to a fabulous new Goodwill in the area.  And score!!!  I found so many pretty things.  Hardly any of it fit though.  A vintage Gunne Sax dress was begging for me to buy it, but it was too darn small in the butt area.  Apparently size 7 back then was more of a size 1.  Oh well.  I did find this amazing poncho though!!!

I hope everyone's weekend is shaping up to be fun and productive. Oh and Emily Allison from Nudgenick Loves Twinkle Lights did a great interview with me.  Take a look at her blog and read her other interviews with awesome bloggers and her style posts!

Edit:  DO NOT BUY JESSICA SIMPSON JEGGINGS!!! Those pieces of shit ripped like paper today.  Right down the crotch.  Ok...done venting now.  Just don't buy them! Today was the first and only day I wore them.

    I promise never to buy Jessica Simpson jeggings. You should take them back since they were obviously defective.
    And how does every other thrift store besides the ones I go to have awesome ponchos and capes? It looks so good with your beanie and boots!

    Thanks for the tip on those jeggings. I was apprehensive about her shoes, but now I have a few pairs, but have never bought her clothes. Good to know.

    BTW - I'm in LOVE with your poncho.
