Reasons to be Thrifty

Hi there! So this morning I went the flea market and purchased these adorable items. 
♥ 1954 photograph of a girl 
♥ A gold rose pin 
♥ A awesome roses and gold bracelet 
♥ Vintage beaded and stitched purse 
I have found some of my favorite items from thrift shops,flea markets,antique shops,and garage/yard sales If you are into being green and recycling this is perfect for you. Although you do have to go through a lot of crap and junk before you find that shiny golden nugget. Plus shopping online for vintage items can get overpriced and it's difficult to barter with them.I tend to get many complements and conversations start when I carry a vintage piece. I hope to see more girls joining in the fun of vintage recycling.

Stuffers

Part of being in Middle school is going through changes with your body ......but some people don't through these changes the same as others and that can be worrisome to some girls causing them to make themselves into being liars with their looks. As an example a few weeks ago in the girls locker room I was being accused of stuffing. Which would be unlike my character. Let's just say I didn't want to grow up as a 10 year old ,I have accepted myself now though. Anyway after this stick creature of a girl mocked me I found out she stuffs her extra padded bandeau bra with socks.( surprisingly my best friend is friends with this mean creature I always suspected it since no one is flat all over and then has a bulging bump chest right where the bra hits them) I find it interesting that she talks about that part of herself  so often even though it's nonexistent. I get it if you want more create it yourself ,but don't shove lies in others faces. And don't accuse others of your own obvious crime.
Girls are weird.
