Frown Turned Upside Down!

Hey all!

Let me tell you, today started off kind of sucky. I was definitely acting like Garfield on a Monday. I woke up and thought "Oh no, I have a social stats exam today, plus a Spanish exam to study for tomorrow, and I am scheduled from 9 to 5, and quite simply I don't want to get out of bed." After staring at the rather boring dorm ceiling with anger and self-pity for awhile, I finally managed to get myself out of bed.

I checked my email and started FREAKING OUT! Well, I was freaking out silently, because my lucky roommate does not have class until 11am and was still asleep. Anyway, I received an email from Auské from Sheepy Me saying that I won $45 credit for her adorable wool jewelry from the giveaway over at The Dainty Squid!

I never win anything! (Well, except for almost winning TV's...that's another story.)

Thanks ladies, for making this gal's day so much better!

Huldra    Betty

I decided to go with the classic Huldra bracelets in white, pink, and black and the adorable Betty necklace in pink!

Hope that everyone has a good Valentine's eve as well!

Well, here goes nothing.


Hey all! I’m Laura and welcome to ‘Thrifting Through Life.’ My blog is something that I decided to do for one of my New Year’s resolutions. I decided that it would be something just for me, to take a little break from all the other school related things I have going on. I will mostly post about thrifting fashion, but I will also talk about other thrifting purchases, my life as a college student, and whatever lovely (or crazy) ideas are floating around in my head. I have been thrifting for a LONG time, for about most of my life. (I’m going to post more about my thrifting history soon). I love vintage clothing especially, but I also devour fashion magazines to admire the designer clothing. My roommate, Amy, and I started an Etsy shop, Beloved Abundance, out of our dorm room, which you can check out HERE and the blog for our shop HERE
I’m a social work student at a small liberal arts college in Central PA, which I love. I am also learning Spanish and sign language, both which are interesting and fun languages to learn! I have a very loving, close-knit family and I’m a sure I will mention our crazy antics at some point or another. I adore movies, music, and Pintrest (You can follow me HERE!)
I am so excited to show everyone a little glimpse into my life and my passion for thrifting.
Xoxo, Laura
