minty fresh

friends, romans, countrymen, i had the flu; therefore, fingers that hurt too bad to type, and a brain that hurt too bad to think.  but i think i'm on the upswing, and if you play your cards right, i'll probably survive.  i've been saving these pictures since last friday when i wore this outfit.  you know how sometimes you wear something that you just really like, and makes you feel good?  that's this outfit; 1. mint green is my favorite color ever, so finding a vintage chiffon mint green skirt in a thrift store for $3 was like a dream come true. 2. i'm wearing a t-shirt, and anytime i can wear a t-shirt i'm happy.  3. i got these shoes for so cheap it was almost like stealing.  4. glitter belt.





t-shirt: kohl's (about 6 or 7 years ago) // belt: thrifted for $2!!!!! // skirt: vintage/thrifted // necklace: i made it // shoes: rugged wearhouse

i kind of wanted to show you my shoes since i love them so much, so that's the explanation for the awkward third picture.

so how have you been?!  even though it's only been a week since i've blogged, meaning a week since i've gotten to read your comments that i love so much, and read your blogs, i feel like it's been ages!  last night was the first night i started to feel like i was alive, and i'm definitely feeling more improvement this morning, which is good, but i swear i think trouble just has a way of finding me, or maybe i have a way of finding it.  i'm not even going to tell you how because it's way too embarrassing, but last night i managed to break two toes on one foot.  so graceful, right?  so today i'm covering up those bruised and swollen eyesores with clogs, and because I CAN'T EVEN WALK ON THAT FOOT!!!!! (so mad about that) i will be using crutches i haven't used since my knee issue in high school.  hopefully my little piggies will heal quickly, but i have a feeling that once they're on the mend, i'll find some other trouble...

  2. Everything about this outfit is stellar! I can't believe that skirt was only $3, what a steal! I hope your feet heal quickly though, I know how painful/what a pain breaking toes is...

  3. I love that skirt. I can't believe it was only $3. A little known fact about me: I have broken the pinky toe on my right foot approximately 10 times. It's my glass toe and now barely resembles a human toe after all these years. You don't realize how important that little guy is until you break it and can't walk right. I feel your pain and I am wishing your toes a speedy recovery.

  4. I cracked my toes on the bed the other night - given that my toes aren't hurting now I don't think I broke them this time.

    The memorable time I broke my toes was in the middle of a rehearsal for a school production - I hobbled around on them (I think me and my brother were dragged up so A+E was a last resort kind of thing lol) and just figured they hurt because I was charging around I'd be fine when I got home.

    Well I got up the following morning or something like that and they were still hurting - my Dad ended up strapping them together for me and I nearly ended up wearing flip flops because I couldn't get my shoe on lol.

  6. O man! Talk about adding insult to injury with breaking your toes after just beginning to feel better from the flu! That's just terrible. I broke my ankles 3 times as a kid. Yes, 3. One time I was hopping without my crutches on my good ankle while the other was in a cast. Then I fell. The next day they took the cast off the ankle that had just healed and put a new cast on the other ankle that I had just broke. Honestly. I couldn't even make that up if I tried.

  7. I just found your blog when I was searching around for other thrifting bloggers- I'm so happy I did! I really like how you styled your midi- I'm not fashion-forward enough to rock a midi. The mint & gold combo is my favorite.

    I broke my pinkie toe last year...stubbed it on the coffee table...and it was totally amazing to me how much it affected my walking! And not to be a downer, but it was also amazing how long it took my toe to heal :( I hope you get better sooner than I did!

  8. I'm so happy you're back! And feeling better. And I'm sorry you broke your toes. I manage to break some toes at least once a year. So crappy. I hope they heal quickly! You're looking perfect as always. Xoxo

  10. The awkward third photo was my favorite. Also, I have a skirt almost identical to that one, so now I need a good plain white tee and a glitter gold belt.

    Oh and I have an unfortunate habit of breaking my toes more often than I should. Birkenstocks, as clunky as they are, work really well for being able to walk while they heal. If it's not too bad of a break.

  18. Oh hey! Congrats on 666 readers!! bahaha.

    Bummer about being sick. Glad that you're feeling better now, though!

    Finding clothes for super cheap prices is the best. Man, I am so cheap sometimes when I'm out looking for clothes. I refuse to spend more than 20$ on a dress. Ha. I'm so cheap sometimes... oh well! It lets me save money to buy more important things like tea. & yarn.

    MAN, what a HUGE bummer about your foot! GAH! That must be so painful. Stubbing a toe is bad enough, but breaking TWO toes? AHH.
