I picked these up at a thrift store for $6. They are apparently from Walmart and are suprisingly cute and incredibly comfortable. I wear them often during 8 hour shifts. I am just worried for the day when they are no longer wearable. I need to find a back up shoe that looks just like this!

Also I found these two pairs of Doc's in my size but I'm kind of over the red ones, they dont go with anything I wear. I scored both of these for only $40.

Lesvinyl: A good explanation to do some clothes-shopping if you ask me

I just purchased a east-German costume pattern

I can´t wait to make it. It will be so pretty for a pin up shooting!

I haven't been in Wal-Mart for a while, and Goldwin just anwered my thought if they have it here, next question is, do they have it in larger size. I think I may have a trip to Walmart today!

Jumping in a little late on this one - I bought the blue/white striped shirt and a plain white shirt to go with the sailor pants from Wally World...while they do run on the larger side, I had to buy an XL just to get the sleeves to fit, and they are still very uncomfortable. I am planning on a little modification so I can wear it without being in pain, but they are super cute shirts...and now that I see what the floral one looks like on a human, I'm going to have to get that one too!

Sari, the pattern is fabulous!
I also love the way the illustrator has paired the bathing suit with fishnets and elbow lenght gloves. That's glamourous sunbathing lol

Well, the name of it would actually mean "glamourous" and it´s supposed to be a costume for German Carnival lol They had more cute ones such as a devil-costume and a fishermens wife etc., but those just were not my size-range at all

I picked up this sweater at Target for a couple of dollars on the clearance rack. I love the puffy gathered sleeves.

 

[Lauren]

Oooh! I think I may have to go to Target! I was just lamenting yesterday that there weren't any of those nice longer sleeved sweaters around anymore.

I got some patterns over the last few weeks

And these from the thrift store yesterday, but I don't know much about them (x-posted in Steamer Trunk)

 

[rubyredlocks]

Goldwyngirl-I have that same sweater and love it.Great find!

 

[Kim_B]

Oh my goodness, Lauren - that first pattern is wonderful!!!!

 

[Lauren]

Thanks! I thought it was pretty cute, myself And it's something I actually could see wearing around day to day.

I wouldn't advise wearing fishnets when sunbathing lol

I actually have the exact same sweater! Unfortunately I didn't get it when it was on the clearance rack.

well, at least you´d have permanent white fishnets after that on lol
