Thrifty & Chic: White Boots
January 6, 2012Happy Friday! I feel like this week has just flewn by. There are officially 10 days left until Altitude Summit starts. I'm in full-blown crunch mode, finishing business cards (for me & others), class curriculum and wardrobe choices to name a few.
One of the most stressful parts of the wardrobe situation is that they're hosting a winter whites party. Everyone is to wear white. AAAAHHH! I guess I could wear my wedding dress (If I can track it down), but that's hardly appropriate. I bought a white dress from Asos, which is totally gorgeous, but I'm not entirely sure I want it in white. I ordered it in Peacock as well so I'll decide which one to keep once the delivery arrives. If I decide I don't want to go with the white dress, I've got some off white items: This shirt, this skirt and the above boots. The skirt isn't really white, but it's close enough. I guess.
I am excited about wearing the boots, though! I love these babies. I found them in Provo where thrift shopping is insane. Insane in a bad way. When I bought these boots I was wearing a vintage yellow jacket of mine & another girl in the store asked if I was planning on buying it.
"Excuse me? This is my jacket. I wore it in here."
"Oh. Oh, my mistake. Sorry."
In some cases it's like day-after-thanksgiving shopping with ravenous sharks. Pretty darn hilarious. In any case, that makes this find even more miraculous. I didn't have to fight anyone or rip them off anyone's feet. They were just sitting on the shelf all by themselves in practically unworn condition for $8 (I've added scuffs & dirt since then). Did I mention thrift stores are more expensive where we're living, too?!? Crazy.
