a little spring time thriftersizing!

i've been wanting and wanting and wanting to do some thrifting lately 1. because i like it and love the thrill of the hunt, and 2. because i'm hands down the biggest cheapskate i know and everything's cheap when i thrift! the last time i thrifted was before christmas when my girl fiancee and i went. that's just unacceptable. i was really looking for those great gauzy, flowy, hippie tops, but they've become so rare i think i have a better chance of winning the lottery than finding one in a thrift store. anyway, i did find a few things that i'm really happy with, and i figured i'd vlog about them. but of course i'm shy, blah blah blah, feel embarrassed, had to do seven videos before i acted normal... you get the idea!

a little spring time thriftersizing! from Danielle Tanner on Vimeo.

also, a few mentions: my new favorite word is thriftersize thanks to my soul sister, carla. claire, even after that many takes, i'm still fidgety like i just commited a crime, but not as bad as i was in the first video! and girl fiancee, thrifting just isn't the same without you!

and, if you don't already follow sarah's blog full of eye candy, go see what a day in the life of dinosaur toes is like!

    Ok, I lied when I said that your day in the life of feature sealed the deal, because this video blog is the real reason why you are my favorite!! Officially! Adorable!!!

    I made Doug watch my first video blog and I stopped it half way through and closed the computer and told him he couldn't see it because I was sooooo embarrassed. He watched it anyways when I posted it and said it was fine. It's so hard though, I always do 100 takes and still feel like such a nerd!

    You did really good though, and those purses are super cute. I've been obsessed with vintage picnic baskets lately, and those remind me of them.

    xo.

    Your story about your first video try is hilarious - I haven't seen a vlog before actually but yours is great, I love it!

    The woven bag with the handle is beautiful, and such a nice colour too. You guys have the best thrift stores. Thanks for sharing your finds!

    This is so cute! I love your vlog and your accent! I feel like I know you better now. I'm not sure I will ever do a vlog post. I'm way too shy! This totally made my day, thanks for putting yourself out there! Oh, and good (cheap) finds, too.

    i'm not even joking! you are just THAT much more da bomb in my book:) love this vlog and love that you did it despite being shy, as you say. i'm very shy too especially camera shy. but you inspire me and maybe in 3 years i'll consider doing one too. also, your thrift finds are beautiful!

    Cutest video ever! Also I am in love with your accent. Also-also, those two bags are so cute. Also-also-also, I am never vlogging because I would probably hurt myself doing so, I'm so awkward and clumsy naturally.

    danielle, LOVE IT!!! :) you are so cute!!!!

    and i love those bags because they are so you! tell me about it... i so miss thrifting because it isn't the same without your girl fiancee and because the places here really doesn't compare to our spot, even if the old lady was grumpy most of the time and hated me lol

    i guess i may have to consider vloging sometime in the near future which you would think would be easy for me since i used to report but alas... i think i would say "um" a lot lol did you use your camera or webcam?

    i hope you do more of these because it was so much fun and it was like i was nearly back in VA again with you ;)

    xoxo!

    Wellllllll all I'm doing is echoing what everyone else is saying, but YOU ARE THE CUTEST THING EVER. Seriously, I am not kidding when I say I had a huge smile on my face the whole time I watched this. You're precious!! And your shirt is beautiful. And you don't seem fidgety, although I'd love you just as much if you'd just committed a crime (I mean, I literally just got home from the prison, ha).

    However, I am going to have to demand another vlog soon so we can see Flojo!

    xoxoxoxox PLEASE keep these coming--you are darlin!!!

    I just watched this and I can't get over how cute you are!
    For some reason I totally imagined you without a southern accent so it's a little weird to hear you with one! You need to keep vlogging you're super cute!
    PS We do a weekly vlogging party which makes it a little easier/more fun, you should check it out!

    you are so sweet and adorable and pretty! i am just like you, super duper shy-- i don't know if i could ever get myself to do a vlog. it's so bad that if i record violin, i make my husband (who is the recorder) go in the other room while i play. but i was born with the shyness, so that's just the way it is :)

    yay for you! do more please!
