Jesse Coulter: thrift

A new year

Happy New Year! It seems that everyone feels 2012 is going to be a big year, lets hope so. 2011 had its ups and downs for me, and I'm sure for everyone else. I experienced some very challenging times during grad school, celebrated my 1 year wedding anniversary in New York City, stayed at the same job, started a blog, moved to Austin and finished school. Those are at least the things I can remember. I do have a couple of new year's resolutions...

1. ) Pursue the Lord more through his word & prayer

2.) Join a church and volunteer within the community

3.) Cook

4.) Save money/ Pay off student debt

I finally got to wear my thrifted sparkly butterfly top

Love at first sight

As I was going through my closet looking for items I can swap this coming Saturday, I realized how many wonderful things I have thrifted over the years. When I say thrifted, I don't mean a vintage/boutique store that already did the hunting and increased the price. I mean Goodwill, Salvation army, St. Vincent's thrift, and many more little shops in Abilene that I've spent hours in. Here are just a few of my favorite pieces that I've collected.

Yes, this is a sequin butterfly top, and it's amazing. I shrieked with joy when I found it.
