That's what I'm talkin about + day 1

My husband is a sports fanatic.

I know this isn't a rare thing among men, but seriously, I frequently wake up and go to sleep hearing the Sports Center intro music. Ugh. I just don't understand watching the highlights of the game when you watched the actual game. YOU ALREADY SAW WHAT HAPPENED HERE. You know what I mean?

Needless to say, sports aren't really my thing. 

Unless maybe you consider thrift-shopping a sport. In which case, I am super super super athletic. Because I can work a thrift store like you would not believe.

Case in point: this dress (which is the centerpiece of my first 30 for 30 outfit). I may have removed shoulder pads and made it 8 inches shorter, but hey, that's what I'm saying... I'm sporty when it comes to the thrifting.

So versatile, so comfortable, so inexpensive. And totally cute.

That's what I'm talkin about.

  1. My boyfriend does the same thing. He will watch a game, then all these after shows, and the sports segments of the news. I just don't get it.

  4. I always say any form of shopping (window, thrift, or actual) is a sport! You are definitely a pro. Great start to the remix.

  6. That "Duh-nuh-nuh, duh-nuh-nuh" was the sound of my childhood. Blame it on that sports fanatical father of mine.

    FANTASTIC tights. So good. And it takes a very skilled thriftlete (get it? thrift athlete? it's a new word) to see the potential in a dress like that. Way to go.

  9. Cute dress! And the tights are ADORABLE! I'm not into sports as well, and my boyfriend does everything not to miss any football (soccer) matches.

  10. Yes, I TOTALLY hear you on this. Not only does the boyfriend rewatch all the highlights, he will hoot and hollar all over again. He even does this with GOLF HIGHLIGHTS. I think it's a sickness...

    Darling dress!
