The past two Fridays, I have shared newly thrifted jumpsuits so I wanted to finish the weekly series with the third and final (for now) preloved jumpsuit. The first was an oversized white jumpsuit with a groovy floral pattern and the second was a cropped length solid black jumpsuit. And now this one…which I’ve named the cow-giraffe print jumpsuit. I know I had referred to the groovy floral print one as “the best jumpsuit ever” but this cow-giraffe print may have inched into the lead for my favorite. I love the neutral colors for a more earthy vibe and I find the unique abstract pattern to be rather eye-catching. So…

Oh my gosh, you guys, this might be my best thrift store clothing find ever! I don’t even really like jumpsuits that much. They are often unflattering and I find them to be a huge hassle when going to the bathroom. But any jumpsuit negatives are far outweighed by the positively adorable floral print. I saw it hanging on the dress rail and the print immediately caught my attention. When I realized it was a jumpsuit, I almost left it on the rack. But something in my soul nagged me to try it on anyway. It doesn’t have a brand label but it does have a tiny size tag indicating…

Lately, I have been going on a lot of thrifting adventures. I definitely don’t need any more clothes in my closet, but sometimes I get bored and enjoy a little hunt in the thrift store. Plus, most of my favorite retailers no longer have physical stores in my area and I really don’t enjoy online shopping as much as in-person shopping. I like to try on clothing and touch and feel the fabrics before purchasing. And I really hate returning things. I don’t know why but the whole process of returning items to stores makes me really uncomfortable. It always has. So I try to avoid it if possible. Most…

Welcome to another edition of Adventures in Thrifting, where I highlight and style a thrifted or preloved item that made its way into my wardrobe. I have been obsessed with long flowy robe-like garments for as long as I can remember. In the very early 2000s, I purchased two gorgeous robes from a small high end boutique in Montclair, New Jersey. I can’t remember the name of the shop anymore but I do remember very vividly the two robes I bought there.  Both were floor length garments with long sleeves made from sheer fabrics. One was black with a tan tribal pattern and the other was white with a colorful butterfly…

Way back in my former life, I had a significant other who did not find toilet humor to be humorous at all. I, on the other, have forever preached that farts are always funny. There really are no exceptions to this rule either. In fact, the more inappropriate the situation when a fart is released, the funnier that particular fart becomes. A loud fart in a quiet room will always elicit a laugh. A silent stinky fart anywhere may cause some to gag and choke but they likely will still be laughing through that aromatic experience. Whether it’s a well-placed fart or an ill-timed gaseous release, someone within hearing or…

On Saturday, I celebrated my 52nd birthday in conjunction with the 20th anniversary of Oogie’s Ice Cream, my sister’s vintage ice cream truck that was named after our father. If you click the link to her website, the cover photo shows little toddler Archie with my sister’s granddaughter. It’s one of our favorite photos of all time! When we were kids, my father rented ice cream trucks for a few consecutive summers to make some extra cash. These were the summers when I was about 10-12 years old. My sister was old enough to drive so she was put in charge of one of the trucks and I rode along…
