Due to the crappy weather, I haven’t really had a chance to take some new outfit pictures, so I’m going to be posting a few old outfits over the next few days. These are a couple of outfits I wore incorporating purchases from my most recent trip to the thrift store.

| skirt, sweater- thrifted from Savers, belt- Forever 21, boots- Urban Original |
This skirt hit me at a really awkward length for some reason, so I just hiked it and pinned it in the back so that I could wear it higher up on my waist. Also, this sweater is so cozy and was less than $4! Savers has definitely been my favorite place to stock up on sweaters this winter.

| cardigan- thrifted from Savers, tee and pants- forever 21, flats- Target |
Recognize those pants from yesterday? Well I love the combination of this dark brown and the burgundy pants. A few years ago, I never would have worn colored pants and now these have become one of my favorite pair of pants! My next colored pants purchase will either be a green or a dark purple! Since I’ve been home, I haven’t yet had a chance to go thrifting, but I’ll probably check out the local Goodwill and Salvo sometime after Christmas.
I’m going to see Black Swan tonight- I’m so excited! It has been so long since I saw a movie in theaters and I’ve heard such good things about this one. Also, one of the theaters in town has started doing this deal called ‘Value Tuesdays’ where movies are $5 all day on Tuesdays! I definitely wanted to take advantage of the discount since movies have become so expensive these days! What movies have you guys watched recently?
![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]
