The sun is struggling to peak through the clouds here in central Ohio, and it's only 31 degrees outside.
But I'm not letting that get me down! I'm celebrating Spring with some great finds at my local thrift store.
First off, you should know that part of my jovial mood is a direct result of a new man in my life. Yes, this crazy thrifty crafter is falling hard. This is how bad it is . . . I often picture this scene from Elf in my mind . . .

I love Will Ferrell.
So anyway, with that in mind, what better way to celebrate Spring than with a new outfit, or two, or three!
Banana Republic wrap-around dress
Forever 21 lightweight cotton print skirt
These leather wedges go perfect with the dress!
black and tan leather wedges just for fun
A cream-colored poncho will be perfect with almost everything.
Lime green and sporting some shorts underneath, this skirt looks fabulous with black tights and boots!
BIG FIND OF THE DAY, BORN LEATHER SANDALS FOR FRIGGIN' $8!!!! The soles look like they've barely been worn. The most comfortable sandal I've ever owned by far. Woohoo!!! As my friend Kay says, I do like me some fugly shoes. I'll be wearing these babies all summer long!
I'm hitchin' my wagon to these bright shining stars!
I saw some cute legwarmers on Pinterest and I just couldn't resist trying to make some for myself.
I can't take credit for this idea. This is from mrsfleury at split the lark and you'll find the music. There's a tutorial included at this site so I won't bother repeating her instructions. Bless her heart, her dainty little legs (or the legs of whoever is modeling them) wear them much better than my big ole honkin' calves.
But if you're anything like me and you find yourself at the thrift store YET AGAIN looking at old sweaters and saying “gee, what can I do with this,” then you are always on the lookout for ideas like this one.
