yesterday i celebrated my 29th birthday. 

it is my last year in my twenties & i have a huge list of things that i want to accomplish/do before 30.

ready, set, go!

(ps: i did a little interview over at her library adventures)

plaid

dress/belt/blazer/shoes: thrifted | purse: taken from my mother's closet

i have been on the hunt for a wool plaid blazer for a long time but the search for one has always ended at a dead end.

then a few weeks ago, i was looking through a bin full of bed sheets and at the very bottom it appeared. 

(the only downside is that it is a little boy's blazer.. it fits wonderfully everywhere except the chest.)

 i could not pass on it and the $1 tag.

the adventures of thrifting never grow old. 

ps: i did a little guest post over at crimson rosella about following your dreams.
