I had an hour or so last night of spare time and decided to finally get some good shots of my thrifty threads now that everything is back from being altered, dry cleaned, etc. I was excited. I created a backdrop (my closet is actually a whole wall in my bedroom that is "walled off" with deep red curtains), started pulling little numbers out of their warm and cozy places on the hanging bar and got my camera out of my purse (I just use a little run of the mill digital, but it gets the job done).
I hang a swirly skirt.
I adjust the curtain/backdrop.
I turn on the camera and snap! A photo is born.
I remove swirly skirt and reach for a dress.
I adjust the curtain/backdrop.
I point and get ready to click ...

Aaaaand my battery is dead!
::shakes head::
It's charging now. Been charging that bad boy all night. There will be no dead batteries for what is sure to be the photo shoot of the weekend once I get everything all lined up and pretty again.
On another, less action-packed note, I was killing time in the mall yesterday, and I wandered myself into Forever 21. I got a belt that I adore - and am already imagining with that swirly skirt, a swishy red skirt that hits about mid-thigh, a cotton romper that I'm returning since it's a tad large on top, and a pair of navy leggings to go under my French Connection dress come autumn. Nothing like being able to transition from one season to the next, eh? I bought everything on sale (only spent myself twenty-nine precious dollars) and will be returning the romper (but probably buying a straw fedora. Or a floppy hat. We'll see).
I've got another big thrift trip planned for next weekend (hittin' the half off sale) and the sister in law is actually going this time. It's gonna be a quick trip though since we're heading to the beach right after for a few days. Kinda can't wait for that!
