    • Just a girl, standing in front of a giant Christmas tree, wishing there was snow. {I’ll be over my snow-wishes by Dec 31st, but for now, a Canadian girl in Houston can dream!} ❄️ Wearing my @icebreakernz leggings, @mizmooz boots, $3 LulaRoe cardi, $7.12 navy silk J McLaughlin dress and $5 silk pashmina. ... ... ... ... ... #thespiritedthrifter #dressember #dressember2018 #outfitoftheday #thriftedootd #thriftedfashion #momfashion #realoutfitgram #momstyle #thriftfinds #thrifting #thrifter #reallifestyle #secondhandstuff #secondhandfirst #fashiongram #lookoftheday #fashionpost #instastyle #thriftblogger #houstonthrift #thriftshop #houstonblogger #houstonfashion #fashionover40 #thriftlife #thrifteatdrinkrepeat
    • We had our first date 21 years ago today. We went to wish my sister @shedoescreate happy birthday 🎂🎊🎉 then went to a movie, held hands and haven’t let go since (figuratively). A lot has changed since then - for reference we didn’t even have a cell phone 😳 - and we had no idea we would have 3 kids and 3 houses and move to another country or that we would call him Mr. Style one day 😆but this day will always remain special! Happy Date-i-versary Hon! Cheers to many more! ❤️
    • I don't know about you but I have no problem tallying up everything I didn't do... * did not get decorations up AGAIN * did not include vegetables with supper * did not fold any laundry * did not vacuum * did not complete my Amazon order bringing my total number of gifts bought to zero * did not return the library book that's over due * did not get reading done with my 8 year old * did not get a blog post done AGAIN * did not post in The One Diet * did not Skype in to visit with my Canadian friends who I really miss * did not make those doctors appointments * did not get my @believe.consulting ad done * did not make a special note about the last two teeth my kids lost * did not * did not * did not ... When I get stuck in this line of thinking, I feel like a great big ball of NOT ENOUGH. But... I'm NOT a human doing or a human not-doing. I'm a human BEING and I did a lot of being today which IS ENOUGH. (And a few $1 dresses don’t hurt either!) ... ... ... ... ... #thespiritedthrifter #daringgreatly #imenough #goodenough #beinghuman #dressember #dressember2018 #outfitoftheday #thriftedootd #thriftedfashion #momfashion #realoutfitgram #momstyle #thriftfinds #thrifting #thrifter #reallifestyle #secondhandstuff #secondhandfirst #inspiration #fashiongram #instastyle #thriftblogger #houstonthrift #thriftshop #houstonblogger #houstonfashion #fashionover40 #thrifteatdrinkrepeat ...

    • Are we getting tired of maxi dresses with jean jackets, or is it still okay?! I mean the day is done so it’s too late now, but for future reference! P.S. 👱🏻‍♀️with the latest update, the only blue eyed blonde emoji has long hair and I object.

    • Another day, another polka dot dress/cardi combo!! But today’s is WAAAYYY different from yesterday’s because it’s navy and made of different fabric. Still has #snackholes tho! 😆 Gap dress $5.95, Marc Art of Walking blue suede two-tone polka dot flats $19, gifted but thrifted mustard cardi, @shedoescreate elephant pendant and earrings, and bracelets I DIY’d from a thrifted necklace then felt like the most talented person in the history of ever. ... ... ... ... ... #thespiritedthrifter #polkadotdress #dresseswithpockets #dressember #dressember2018 #mustardcardigan #outfitoftheday #thriftedootd #thriftedfashion #momfashion #realoutfitgram #momstyle #thriftfinds #thrifting #thrifter #reallifestyle #secondhandstuff #secondhandfirst #inspiration #fashiongram #lookoftheday #fashionpost #instastyle #thriftblogger #houstonthrift #houstonblogger #houstonfashion#fashionover40 #thrifteatdrinkrepeat
    • Day 3 of #dressember is nothing fancy but good enough for a quiet day with my computer! And anyway, my $4 @landsend dress HAS POCKETS - which I shall be calling by a new term! {see my ig stories for an explanation as well as how I previously wore this dress} Worn with $2.50 grey cashmere blend cardi, $7.70 silver flats, $3.50 belt and @shedoescreate necklace. ... ... ... ... ... #thespiritedthrifter #dressember2018 #dresseswithpockets #outfitoftheday #thriftedootd #thriftedfashion #landsend #momfashion #realoutfitgram #momstyle #thriftfinds #thrifting #thrifter #reallifestyle #secondhandstuff #secondhandfirst #inspiration #stylish #fashiongram #lookoftheday #fashionpost #instastyle #thriftblogger #houstonthrift #houstonblogger #houstonfashion#fashionover40 #thrifteatdrinkrepeat
    • Two dresses for the second of #dressember: 👗First my $9.10 Gap shift dress from 2013, slightly winterized for an early hockey game at a chilly rink! I ditched the pants before heading into church! Worn with jeans $6, green cardi $8, navy pashmina $2.50 and Poetic License shoes $15. 👗 Second my Target dress bought new because I loved it so much, worn for a year end Houston Moms Blog meeting and dinner out at the Rustic! Worn with $7.70 leopard print flats and @shedoescreate accessories! It was a Merry Matchy-Matchy Day! ... ... ... ... ... #thespiritedthrifter #dressember2018 #outfitoftheday #thriftedootd #thriftedfashion #momfashion #realoutfitgram #momstyle #thriftfinds #thrifting #thrifter #reallifestyle #thriftedchicstylechallenge #secondhandstuff #secondhandfirst #inspiration #fashiongram #lookoftheday #fashionpost #instastyle #thriftblogger #houstonthrift #thriftshop #houstonblogger #iheartdresses #houstonfashion#fashionover40 #matchymatchy #thrifteatdrinkrepeat
    • It’s December 1st. We are putting up the Christmas lights in sandals! 😳 It is the beginning of @dressember and it dawned on me that I did not participate last year despite finally living somewhere where dresses in December make sense!! So, as with all of my great decisions (!), I decided *today* that this year, I will participate in #dressember - which by the way really isn’t about dresses. It’s about justice and ending human slavery. So, take off your pants, put on a dress and click on over to Dressember to lend your support! 👗 I’m wearing my $8.20 #nwt @lularoe dress WITH POCKETS, @saltwatersandals, @accessorize necklace circa 2005 plus $3 thrifted earrings that make my little ol’ matchy-matchy heart happy! 😊 ... ... ... ... ... #thespiritedthrifter #matchymatchy #iheartdresses #outfitoftheday #thriftedootd #thriftedfashion #momfashion #realoutfitgram #momstyle #thriftfinds #thrifting #thrifter #reallifestyle #secondhandstuff #secondhandfirst #inspiration #stylish #fashiongram #lookoftheday #fashionpost #thriftblogger #houstonthrift #thriftshop #houstonblogger #houstonfashion#fashionover40 #thrifteatdrinkrepeat
