frugal feathers friday

hey all! how are you? i get a little paranoid sometimes and worry that people read things the wrong way. so for everyone who read my last post about pugs, macaroons and nail polish, i hope you weren't offended at all. i really wasn't trying to be mean, i just think it's cute that we all see and read certain trends on fashion blogs. i happen to notice a lot of those three things, so i wrote a little post. again, sorry if you thought it came off as snotty...not my intention at all. or maybe i'm just being paranoid.

so nora and i are starting a new little bloggy post on fridays. we read so many wonderful blogs, so many of them focused on thrifting and fabulous wardrobes on a budget. so we want to share the love. we would love to feature different bloggers and outfits that she (or he) has either completely or partially thrifted. we are so inspired by you all that we want to spread the love and feature some of you on our blog. so, if you are interested, or if you know someone who might be (or if you want to nominate someone), email us at twobirds.mn@gmail.com. what we will need from you is pictures, outfit details (prices, where you bought each piece) and a little snippet about yourself. sound fun? we hope so!

to start off frugal feathers friday, i thought i'd share a few things in my house and in my wardbrobe that are thrifted.

i needed a place to put all of my rings, so i thrifted a wooden pineapple dish and an old oil can. luckily, between the two, i fit them all! cost, $5.

i am a sucker for wall collages. i have mentioned this before. it's somewhat of an addiction that i am aware of. after last night (when i did this wall), i will stop. i promise. every single piece on this wall (aside from my kid's art and the little orange bird) is thrifted. total cost: $17.

the whole outfit isn't thrifted...the main reason i am posting this pic is because i got these 7 for all mankind jeans for $5.99. not too shabby!

shirt ~ marshalls $9.99
necklace ~ F21 $5.99
shoes ~ thrifted $4.99
jeans ~ 7 for all mankind, thrifted $5.99
earrings ~ heartbreaker $2.99
bracelet ~ free (gift from amanda!)

so there you have it. we hope that you will join us on fridays to show off your thrifty finds!

xoxo,
