score thrifty : color + film

Welcome to a new installment of Score Thrifty!!

For anyone new, in these posts I compile some of my latest finds while thrifting, photograph them,
and then share how much I paid for the item, what I'm planning to do with it,

or how I'm using it. :)

Let's start with these necklaces, shall we?!

Okay so awhile back I was at Walmart (#iknowright) with a friend, and she was looking at purses,

and suddenly I spotted a bunch of these bubble necklaces.

IN ALL DIFFERENT COLORS.

FOR 5 BUCKS.

I mean, since WHEN does Walmart sell these?!!

Seriously..talk about stepping up their game.

And then recently I noticed they not only had the bubble necklaces, but this style as well.

IN ALL DIFFERENT COLORS.

FOR 5 BUCKS.

And then the traumatic indecision follows as you try and determine what color you should get

that will work best with your wardrobe.

Anyways, I obviously didn't get these at goodwill or thrifting, but the deal was too good not to share. :)

I found this top in the "dresses" section at a Goodwill in TN recently. It always cracks me up looking through 'dress' racks and whenever I find shorter ones my mind always goes to this quote I saw awhile back. #preachit The fun thing about clothing items like this is I just wear them like a tunic or longer shirt, and pair with colored skinny jeans. Way more fun!! Also, I love how this has pockets on the front and flared sleeves.

I just wore this outfit last weekend -- obviously I am wearing this top ^^ and then added yellow skinny jeans and boots (both from kohl's) and the coral walmart necklace. Go bright or go home, right?! :) I'm all about color.

This mint maxi skirt is from goodwill ($3.50) and I kinda freaked out when I found it!!

Worn in this outfit below with a striped top, the yellow walmart necklace, and some leather sandals (not pictured, but you get the idea).

How cute are these vintage Curious George books?! I got all 3 for $1. Originally I was going to tear them up to make cards or frame the pages, but I'm debating now and may just leave them intact. If you have any ideas for these please comment with them! :)

Fisher Price plastic camera -- $2!!

Another copy of Jane Eyre -- 50 cents. This doesn't even need a description...that book is insane.

Gold necklace - $1.

These next couple items I basically got for free -- I went to this amazing garage sale last weekend and the lady checking me out didn't charge me for a few small things, just threw them in there! That was quite the garage sale, by the way. The one gal who was running the show commented to the other lady about me: "She's 21 and she likes antiques. There's hope for America." Laugh. Out. Loud. :)

loving this leather clutch!!

does it bother anyone else that they don't make food containers/labels with cool fonts anymore? exhibit A:

I couldn't believe it when I spotted this vintage postale scale. SO. COOL. $5.

Never seen white hexagon bowls like these before -- 50 cents each.

Found this awesome wooden frame with glass inside for 5 bucks last weekend, yay!! I want to get a really large print for it at some point and maybe hang in my room... going to take me awhile to decide on an image to go in there though!

Now these next two clothing items were found in the same day, at the same goodwill. ORANGE for the win!!

really loving the vintage brass buttons.

Both of these were $4.50. Oh happy day!!

Recently I was second-shooting a wedding, and I was running ahead of schedule so when I spotted some garage sale signs I thought: "I can either drive to the church and sit in the parking lot, or go thrifitng." #DUH :) Isn't this blue checkered dress beautiful? It is handmade, and the 3 pockets on the side add so much character. Planning to do a shoot with it in the future.

Now this (below) I almost cried when I found. 11 packs of unopened, polaroid film...for $8. #floodgates

I still can't belive it. So when I got home I tried loading some in my camera, and the bummer deal is that on the packages it says "use before Jan. 1976" #vintagealert and so the battery thing in the bottom of the film packs is expired. BUT I'm hoping to get a new pack of film (that will have a new battery), and try loading the negatives into it and see if they will shoot. Because the film itself is perfectly fine, it's just the battery (which powers the polaroid camera) is toast because it is a million years old. If anyone has any expertise in this area or advice to share, I'm all ears. :) And regardless, I majorly dig how colorful the boxes are and will keep them forever.

Anyone remember the blush wedges I got in the spring? Well I found these black ones recently at the very same goodwill!! Someone is going on a wedges strike or something..and I'm not complaining. Because I'm not a heels girl, but WEDGES... wedges are my JAM. $4.50

Set of 6 small, glass ice cream cups -- $2. I have 4 larger glass ones of these already, so I really need to have an ice cream party. Soon. Maybe tonight.

And speaking of parties, I had a revelation idea this morning that I need to do a girl's party all about COLOR. Everyone can come dressed as colorful as possible, and all the decorations will be super fun and bright!! So doing this when my schedule slows down enough to do it.

Obsessed with these colored glasses!!!

.88 cents each, I can do that. :)

Hope you enjoyed this post and have a beautiful weekend!
I know MANY of you guys are fellow thrifters, so does anyone have a recent find to share?!
That's what the comments section is for.. :)

See you back here on Monday!!

love,
