Thrifty Chic Challenge, Day #11

It was 80 degrees today. And probably the last inkling of summer weather, especially since the European forecast model is predicting snow in the North Carolina mountains this weekend. SMH...most days, the forecast is about as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle. I mean, who other than meteorologists can screw up every day and not lose their jobs? I digress (a usual occurrence). What I meant to write was that it was 80 degrees today and I'm gonna soak up the sun. Gonna tell everyone to lighten up.

I also was able to let my inner-child play in the leaves for a few minutes. Allow yourself a few minutes every day to get wildly excited about something. It makes for a peaceful soul.

Today was a great thrift day. Searching through clothes this weekend, I found a few treasures. I also found a few things that would make a preacher cuss, but that is neither here nor there.

Mint green quarter length shirt (Land's End, I might add) = $2.24
Burgundy jacket = $3.74
Necklace = $1.29 (at the Kmart Going out of Business sale!)
Jeans = $1.25 (I KNOW, RIGHT?)
Shoes = $1.99, a re-wear from Day #1

Grand total = $10.51

Did you get the Cheryl Crow reference earlier? If so, you also know the lines:

I don't have digital

I don't have diddly squat

It's not having what you want

It's wanting what you've got. 

A round of applause to those of you that just sang the lyrics out loud while reading this and had your family stare at you like you are insane. Let them think you are crazy. Maybe you will get a few extra minutes of alone time. 

It is a catchy tune. More so than that, a great end to today's blog and the last two lines are a mantra that each of us should continue to strive towards. We are all works in progress. Some of us further along than others.
