No, I wasn’t actually going anywhere, like, on a plane, but today was a day of departing from the norm.
Departure #1 :
I’m wearing pink instead of my usual black.
When I came across this Lily Pulitzer skirt while thrifting in Ohio and it was only $3.58…I thought I would give the color pink, a try.
This skirt was SO hard for me to style! I finally decided to just put it with a basic white tee, of which I had none.

Departure #2 :
I shopped at Walmart for my basic white tee shirt.

At $2.97 each, I bought one in black too.
Departure #3 :
I tied a knot in the tee shirt and…
it kinda looked cute.
Departure #4 :
I switched out my everyday handbag, which I very rarely do.

Which leads to my final departure of the day…
Departure #5 :
Agreeing to meet someone I have never met, at a bar, for a drink.

Lisa, from Breath of Fresh Flair was in town and reached out to me, in hopes of meeting me IRL.
#SheAssuredMeSheWasntAStalker
So of course I said YES!
We talked non-stop for two hours about all things blogging, thrifting, traveling and interior design.
Lisa is an amazing and talented interior designer and knows her way around a thrift store. Next time she’s in town, I know what we’ll be doing!
#Thrifting
Hurry back Lisa!
Question of the day : Do you ever depart from the norm?
Was your wicker handbag thrifted as well? Can’t believe the price of that LP skirt. #SCORE

I am SO going to look you up the next time I’m in Vegas. I rarely go because I hate Vegas…but you never know! Maybe you’ll come up to Toronto?

I do love Toronto. Come to Vegas and stay near me. I can hook you up with a ‘locals’ discount at the beautiful Red Rock Resort and Casino. We’ll spend the whole time thrifting and going to Happy Hours! We don’t have to go near the Strip…
