I've been vintage shopping a lot lately, be it for clothes, shoes, purses, furniture and other knick knacks. I pick up a lot of stuff because they are hard to pass up, I fall in love with objects and can't let them go. Yes I have that problem. However, I've filled my closet with so much stuff that it's getting ridiculous so I've decided to sell some of my finds in my shop. These are the first 3 things that I've let go. Hope you fall in love with them too.
Like I mentioned, this is a bit of a big deal for me. I'm posting the first picture of myself on my blog. I wanted to make sure I followed-up with all the talk that I did in the previous post so here I am. I didn't let myself back out. I'm working on the quality of the photo. This was taken with the camera propped on the kitchen counter using a self timer. I think we have a tripod somewhere, gotta find it. Also, in the morning I am always in a hurry cuz I'm always running late so.. anyway enough excuses. Here I am.
i appreciate this post found over at bits and bobbins. it is good to be reminded once in a while to be true to who you are. i've always struggled with this ever since i was young. we have to be honest, as human beings we are always influenced by what's happening around us. it is just now that i'm older, more matured that i am finally finding my own self. i'm starting to learn not to care what other people think, or even knowing that other people are not even really paying that much attention. i'm learning to just dress up how i want, with what i'm comfortable in and with what i think looks good on me. i still falter many times, of course but i think what's important is that i try.
i joined the wardrobe_remix group on flickr. i intend to start contributing to this group soon. i admire all these men and women who put themselves out there. i tend to be on the shy side so this'll be a big step. as you may have noticed, i don't really like to show my face on my blog so this is also sort of a little "coming out". at the same time, i think it's a good way to display my recent thrift store purchases. i've made several trips in the last few months and have found a few good things, some of them for mere pennies. i'm addicted!
yay! so i did purchase this shirt after thinking about it for a while. the great thing was that when i finally made up my mind, it went on sale! perfect. i finally wore it today and here's a pic!
