Half-baked.

Photobucket

I just want to admit that I am a shameless biter mostly because I saw a guy on LOOKBOOK with a cassette tape dangling from his neck, which obviously prompted me to recreate a statement necklace. I guess my parents are accustomed to the iPod generation because I was looking for old cassette tapes around the house and to no avail, and if I haven't made myself clear before that I am a victim of immediacy, the video cassette atop my chest should prove otherwise. Talk about a craving almost fulfilled.

Yesterday my sister and I finally found our town's Salvation Army. I actually found a lot of good pieces in there but later decided to hold back as we were shopping for other people. My sister, though found some fringed-moccasin booties by Minnetonka in perfect condition and a Polaroid camera which managed to astound her throughout the rest of the day. We headed back there today for a haul, but I guess it's okay to close at 5 o'clock now. After that we headed to the closest Goodwill where I found an absolutely perfect leather motorcycle jacket which will make it's debut in an upcoming post.

Anyway, Christmas is coming up gals! Enjoy your last days of this holiday season!
