Bargain shopping at its best

So yesterday I had a little shopping spree at the thrift store (DI). I've been needing some new pieces for my wardrobe for a little while, but being a poor college student trying to save up money for camera equipment, buying the things I want is nearly impossible. So, to the DI it was. Here are the items I purchased:


Cotton shirt: $4.00

White woven belt: $1.00

Will leave both items as purchased.


Jean skirt: $6.00

Woven belt: $1.00

Cute toenails: Priceless

Will most likely cut skirt to mid-knee and hem, possibly stitching something cute into it somewhere ;)


Jean material dress: $5.00

Studded belt: $1.50

Will probably cut dress to about knee level (possibly slightly above) and hem. Might also cut the sleeves or the neckline to make it a deep V. Belt needs to be superglued, it’s falling apart a little bit but is still really cute.

Jean jacket: $6.00

Golden rose brooch (Walmart): $1.98

Black maxi beach dress: My own

Considering cutting the sleeves of the jacket because they’re a little tight on my arms, but otherwise leaving it pretty much as is. I’ve been wanting a jean jacket for months now and this one was a steal.

Leather cross-body bag: $4.00

Feather brooch: My own

I am so in love with this bag. Like, I cannot even tell you how much. I have been wanting a nice, sturdy cross-body purse for ages now, and this one is amaaaazing. Definitely a great purchase.


All in all, just a great day for thrifting ;)

Day 13: Sunset

There was the most beautiful sunset tonight, and I could've died looking at it.

And thus concludes my photo-a-day journal for my color photography class. I hope you will be able to look at things in a whole new way, as I have come to do through photography.
I hope you enjoyed my 13-day photo journal :)

Day 12: Horse

I saw this horse and fell in absolute love with it, and of course I had to take a picture.
I used to ride horses when I was a lot younger, and every now and then, I get the urge to ride them again.
Horses are such beautiful, magnificent creatures, and there is really nothing quite like them in the world.

Day 11: Ring

I've been really bad at uploading all the images lately, so this is day 11 of my 2 week photo journal.
This is my roommate's ring that I looooove to no end, and I am contemplating stealing it from her.
Yes, so.

Day 10: Mirror

Didn't do too much on Friday.
Obviously.

Day 9: Head Drawing

Thursday night was my head drawing class, which was pretty fun.
Nothing too exciting to report, I just brought my camera with me to take pictures of the model for finishing up the drawing later.
I really enjoy the class, and I think it's a lot of fun to render heads so realistically (or try to anyways, in my case). I think there's something about drawing people that I have always enjoyed, and this class allows me to have a lot of artistic creativity.

Day 8: Tired

Had an interesting day today, to say the least.
Sometimes it's just good to go to bed and wake up the next day with a clean slate.

Day 7: Tyler

This is my brother, Tyler.
He's a great guy and he loves his sunglasses.

Day 6: Car Lights

Not much to say about today.
Just another day.

Day 5: Logan

I went to visit my grandparent's for lunch and spent the evening in Logan playing with the cats on their property.
This one is named Ginger, and I have known her since she was just a little kitten (I named her too). I was really creative, as you can see.
I always love going to visit my grandparent's house, because they have lived their since before I can remember and their house really feels like home to me.


Grandpa


Grandma

Day 4: Salmon River

I'm two days late on uploading my "Days", but I did take pictures both days, so I'm going to upload them now.
Anyways, I went White Water Rafting on the Salmon River on Saturday, and took most of my pictures from that day on a waterproof disposable camera.
It was so much fun, I can't even describe it. I'm definitely going to go again!

Day 3: Katie

My roommate Katie is so beautiful and adorable and she never ceases to make me laugh.
I'm going with a group to the caves tonight so I don't have time to really go out and take pictures like I would love to do, but it's okay. Katie's gorgeous face will suffice for today ;)

Day 2: Storm

I apologize for the less than exciting photo for day 2. I was literally on campus all day today and hardly had anytime to get home and snap a picture before the sun went down--whatever sun there was anyhow.
I love storms though. I think there's something about them that really amaze me. For me, they bring back memories of my childhood, when I would hide in the closet during thunderstorms with my hands over my ears, waiting for the noise to stop. Since then I've come to love storms a lot more than I did then, and everytime a storm hits, I get excited and stare out the window at the clouds and the rain. It's a nice feeling, I think.

Day 1: Blossoms

Today was a pretty ordinary day. I went to my classes, talked to friends, got my next semester figured out, worked, and came home. In the evening I walked up to the gardens and wandered through the rows of blossoming trees, snapping photos here and there. It was really beautiful. I was a little sad that the sun wasn't out so I could get some nice golden light on the trees, but...this is Rexburg anyhow.

Katy and Kendall

Here are a few photos from an engagement session I did last weekend for my childhood friend Katy and her fiancee Kendall! They were wonderful and we had a lot of fun taking photos and catching up on life. I'm so happy for both of them!

Hi this is me.

Just getting into this blogging thing.

Technically this is for my Color Photography class, but I might as well upload some of my own personal work on here as well.

Woo!
