SOLD OUT UO Sample was a Blessing in Disguise

So today my friend Stacey (check out her blog Feather Revolution and her online store ModishHippie) and I had planned to check out the UO Sample sale today, I mean you can't beat $50 for all you can jam in a bag right?  However, before taking off to LA I thankfully checked the website to get the address to find out it had been SOLD OUT! After getting over my 2 minute depression of missing out on rad deals at UO we switched gears and decided to find treasures at thrift stores.  SOLD OUT SALE = BLESSING IN DISGUISE.  On our way to attack the thrift stores we stumbled upon a community garage sale where we scored MAJOR!

First, I scored this dope sheer bright red blouse.  Details Detail Details, right? The thing i loved about this top was not only the fact that it was $2 but that both the cuffs were slit and they flowed so dreamy!
Next, we found a jewelry man and I got this cute lil' pinky ring for $1
Last and best thing I found today had to be my leather cape! Actually got to give credit to Stacey on this one, she found it first! Can't beat $3!
Once we finished the community yard sale we were off to the thrift stores! First one to hit was a winner. I found these awesome print pants! $3
they're a pretty odd print, but on one of my chillaxing days i figured i could work wit' em...lol..We hit a few more shops up but found no treasure! Finally at our last stop I found what I had been on the hunt for for quite some time. I've been searching for an old pair of high waisted jeans to turn into frayed cutoffs and I FOUND THEM! Not only were they perfect but they were also Harley Davidson which just is so awesome for how i plan on rocking them!  I wish I had taken a before picture but this is what they look like after cutting them into shorts and putting holes in them.  They haven't gone in the washer yet so they are ready just yet.  When they are done I will repost so you can see the outcome. Oh yeah did I mention $.50.

Such a great dayy!!!

...ohhh yeahhh i rocked this badboy today...I bought it about a week ago at a thrift store near my 9-5 loves it! $4
