Yesterday.......

Yesterday, all my troubles seem so far away now it looks as though there here to stay, oh I believe in yesterday and so the song goes. ......Anyway I am always struggling in the morning to find something to wear. ALL my closets in the house are full of clothes...my clothes to be exact. Mr. Lover man (my boyfriends new blog name...lol) has the closet in the guest room, although the shelves are full of my shoes.

You would think with all these duds I wouldn't have a problem right? Wrong. I can never find anything to wear. So lately I've been using style inspirations from online http://www.polyvore.com/ and various bloggers http://mimigoodwin.blogspot.com and http://blackandkillingit.com/  to get it together.

I think it's working. I received so many compliments on one of my outfits, I was blushing. (see below). It reminded me of my mother, she's ever the feminine dame. I also heard  Thelma Evans from Good Times lol. I'll take that. At any rate the entire look was thrifted. 


 

I've been a thrifter since birth. It's in my blood. Mom is a veteran thrifter and takes advantage of the glorious senior discount to this day. Whenever I go home, we plan a whole day visiting our "Favorite store." which usually consists of  close to 6 hours shopping at the best thrift stores Denver has to offer, followed by a nice lunch to cap off the excursion. It's our thing and I absolutely love, love , love doing it with her whenever possible.

My obsession with thrift shopping has now gone viral. You can find some of my thrifty finds  on Instagram under @tia_trina.  http://instagram.com/p/QmlscWhdDC/ 

 It's a great way to showcase my creativity and have fun doing something I love at the same time.

Hope you enjoy...
