let's thrift again (like we did last summer)

A couple of weeks ago, I saw this photo on The Facehunter:


I love absolutely everything about this outfit, but I fell especially hard for the shoes. I've been looking for a little old lady pair of t-strap sandal-y shoes for eons, so it was with a semi-silent whoop! of joy that I grabbed these off the Thrift Store shelf the other day:


Ok, so I'm pretty sure hers are still a tad cooler, but these babies make me feel like I'm walking on air so I'll let it slide. Hello arch support! From the same store, I've also picked up a pair of granny oxfords:


And some intimidating leather boots:


Finally, to round things out, a few pieces of flair that would make any grandmother proud:


The only thing missing from this picture is a tall, cool glass of Metamucil...and my retirement fund.
