Cait's Outfit of the Week - An Entirely Thrifted Outfit + UPDATE!

Hey everyone! I'm back! I took a small hiatus for a bit, my life has been super busy. I'll tell you more about that in a moment. I'll go ahead and show you my outfit first, then if you like you can stick around and let me tell you about my life lately.

I'm very proud of this outfit. It's entirely thrifted! To clarify, I consider all types of second-hand bought clothes "thrifted." Plato's Closet, Consignment sales, Thrift stores, they're all "thrifting" in my book!

Mint Lace Top: Plato's Closet ($6)
Polka-Dot Capris: Thrift Store ($1)
Sandals: Consignment Sale ($6)
Flower Belt: Plato's Closet ($5)
White Cami: Consignment Sale ($4)
Bracelet: DIY

For all interested, here's what I've been up to during my hiatus.

May was intense for me, guys. Prom, marching band parade, graduation (which I did not participate in, of course), choir concert, band concert, a slew of graduation parties I had to attend, then finally the highly anticipated, band banquet.

To start off, prom was excellent. To the people who don't know, I am homeschooled. I know what you're thinking. "Homeschooled? Where do you have prom, your living room?" And then this is the part when all the homeschoolers laugh and say,  "actually, no." Prom is just as big a deal (if not bigger) for homeschoolers as it is for kids who go to school. It's something we look forward to all year. Here's me in my dress. (Thrifted dress, of course!)

Me and my lovely GRADUATING cousin!

Next, (the next day actually) the band kids went to march in a parade. It was all going swimmingly at first (no pun intended, you'll understand in a moment), I mean sure, there was a rain in the forecast but a little drizzle never hurt anyone, right? Nope. It was pouring buckets. A second flood, if you will. Luckily, our band director came prepared and had ponchos ready, so no woodwinds were harmed in this parade. The sad part of it was that our (awesome) uniforms would have gotten ruined if we had worn them in the rain. So we looked like a group of Fire-Mario/Fire-Luigi's from the original NES Super Mario Bros.

Also, one of the songs we were marching was Bob-Omb Battlefield from Super Mario 64.

The choir concert went excellent. My first semester to actually be in a choir, and I have to say, I love it. I definitely have a lot to learn about voice/singing, but I'm excited to learn it. 

Then at the end of of May, I went to my first Band Banquet. It was a lot of fun. We hung out, reflected on the last year, awards were given, and we finished out our night with our officially-unofficial band games, Spoons (if you've never played spoons, you need to change that. Literally go. Right now. Get several people and play spoons. You will not regret it.).

Anyway, that's been my life lately! I hope your spring has been as awesome as mine and I'll see you around!
