Thrift store allergies.

The highlights of sewing school this week:

*The girls insisted I was drawing my boyfriend's initials on the chalkboard. It was the Chanel logo.
*The same girl who makes jokes about having aids everytime she coughs also tried to look up my skirt.
*We have a new classmate. I like her. She's 22, and pregnant of her 4th child.
*After spring break (or "holy week" as we call it here) comes my first week of testing. yes! REAL skirts!!


I went thrift store shopping on Saturday and I overheard tourists saying I dressed "quite different from the rest of the people here". I was happy. Tourists think no one here can understand English.







I got this thing. Belts and dresses, too.


I make her look at runway pictures so she'll know I'm actually sane.

wow, tourist in thrift store? I thought they'd be by the beach or somethin.
You know before I wasn't much of a thrift store shopper. At least not for clothes (I was a ghetto hoochie back in my hey day, lol), I was obviously very different before. And um, I started becoming a cheap shopper and liking more simple and vintage clothing, and I started finding great stuff in my mom's very OLD clothes. And theeeen I started going to thrift shops. They're soo cool! I just don't see why I need to buy expensive clothing anymore, why do I feel as though I'm rambling on. I should get my own blog, ha

Hola Fabi! Gracias por el comentario, me encanta tu blog y tu estilo! Te agregué como link
Chaooo

Para agregar algun link, tienes que ir a la parte que ADMINISTRAR DISEÑO, te saldrá la plantilla de tu blog y apretas en AÑADIR UN ELEMENTO DE PÁGINA, te saldrá un cuadro y ahí buscas donde dice AÑADIR VÍNCULOS. Eso es todo! Suena enredado, pero es más fácil con práctica jajajaa
