I Went A Thriftin’

May 4, 2011 By Nina @ Momma Go Round 10 Comments

It’s embarrassing to admit…I’ve never been thrifting {hang head in shame}. I’m the queen of cheapo shopping, but until a few days ago, I’d never been thrifting. And even now, I guess I quasi went thrifting since it wasn’t truly a thrift store, but a killer high end second hand store. Does that sorta count?

Lindsay from Lee La La took me on the best dip into the thrifting waters ever at Crossroads Trading! All the best brands at real prices. Michael Kors, Dolce, Prada…and my fav, Marc Jacobs {squeal!}.

Dress: Old Navy, Tank: Downeast Basics, Belt: Marc by Marc Jacobs, Flats: Target

I was beside myself when I found this magical bright orange leather wrap belt. I have no idea if I’m wearing it correctly, but I don’t really care. IT’S AWESOME!

It’s just so bright and fun for spring! And for a whopping $13.00 I couldn’t just leave it on the rack now could I?

Sophisticated, yet perfect for a beautiful spring day…

especially with my naughty librarian “the computer is making me blind” glasses

Am I Just Lazy?

I’m exhausted. Wiped out. Down for the count. Done.

Most days, my house looks like some version of this.

And my laundry ~~room~~ closet would need to magically transform in order to deal with my mountain o’ dirtiness.

And don’t even get me started on my teeny tiny balcony that I can never keep up with the nastiness on cause this little lovely comes everyday to collect right off of it.

Seriously…it’s so nasty when I think about it! EEWWWW.

But yesterday it was like someone was holding a candle under my butt and yelling “MUSH”! I got more done in one day than I usually do in three.

Laundry….check

Vaccuming….check

Dishes….check

Scrub the BBQ….check

Costco….check

Not to mention for 4 hours in the morning I had LJ & Baby W.

It all makes me wonder….am I just LAZY normally? I mean, come on, I kicked the trash out of my usual level of productivity. Scrubbing the bbq, really, who does that? Not me usually…as evidenced by the level of nastiness on it.

And then I realized what was different….I didn’t have a kiddo to entertain. Yes, there were two kiddos here, but I didn’t have to do the entertaining…they did.

While they proceeded to re-make my living room into this…

I was able to tackle…

without the laundry fairy paying me a visit and magically poofing my laundry closet into a full blown laundromat. Though that would be nice!

I realized that I need to give myself more credit for what I do get done normally… and appreciate how much easier it is to be productive with out a munckin hanging on me

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Whatever IT is, this girl’s got it!

Amanda Ply will rock your world!

Last night the hubs braved the Dodger game with LJ on his own so I could catch Amanda’s show at The Mint! It was the first time since her release party last summer that I’ve been able to get away to see one of her shows.

Please excuse the killer photo. Cell phone pic in a dark club with my parentals attempting to work my phone…nuff said.

AND IT WAS PURE AWESOMNESS!

Her new songs are amazing! Think Carrie Underwood meets Kelly Clarkson meets kicks the trash out of all of them! Not to mention she played the keyboard standing up in 4 inch hot momma heels. Really? I would have eaten it trying to walk, let alone play.

If you haven’t heard Amanda yet, you have to check out her video for what she calls “her anthem”…I Will Love Who I Want To. I swear LJ will be singing this song on the way to pre-school.
