Health Update and Some Thrifted Finds

So I had a second ER trip on Friday. Turns out I was right and the not being able to breath right was the biggest problem. This time around they actually checked that out and gave me some albuterol. I have an inhaler now to help when the chest tightness flares up. Hopefully it's just a temporary allergy issue and not asthma.

Anyways to cheer me up, my lovely lovely boyfriend took me to a couple different thrift stores over the weekend and I found a lot of goodies! So enough rambling about my broken body and onto the pictures of goodies!


Yes that is Ghoulia's scooter for $9.99. If you know anything about Monster High you would know that's a great deal. I was super excited.


Here's a better picture of it. It had been opened and was missing the backpack, but for $9.99 I don't really mind. 


Because just owning the Monster High dolls isn't enough, I got this dress so I could look like one too. It very much reminds me of something Rochelle would wear. Yes I am taking fashion inspiration from kids toys. I think it could look super cute with tall boots. 



Two different antique fashion plates in what I think is their original antique frames. There was tons of them lying around the Goodwill by my moms' house. These were my favorite though. I'm probably going to paint the frames black before I hang them up. 


Not an actual steel-boned corset, just plastic. It looks super pretty though, and for me that's all that really matters. It was clearly made for someone a little busty-ier than me, so I'll probably be wearing over shirts most of the time. 


Cute cat-eye sunglasses that were super cheap. Instead of the $20 I see them for online usually. 

I also got a couple black skirts but I couldn't get decent pictures of them. Nothing like some retail therapy to cheer a sick girl up.

    1. I was so surprised! The thrift stores around here rarely have vintage/antique things like that.

  2. That is a super adorable dress! I agree; it would look very fab with knee-high (or taller!) boots.

    I'm glad you were able to secure proper medication! Feel better. I'm working on getting through my own plague. (I.E. sinus infection.)

  5. I love to thrift! Retail therapy without the huge bill, and you can find really unique things. I like the pink accents on the corset.

  6. I LOVE Monster High Dolls! So wish they had them when I was a kid! I have a couple, and I like to buy the calendar each year too! : ) The striped dress looks great on you - can't wait to see it with a pair of huge boots!

    1. That's how I feel about Monster High too! Thank you, I have high boots now, so hopefully I can get that outfit up when the weather permits. It's been rather hot here in California lately so not really boot weather.
