I am so excited that my first Thirfty Thursday in a while is my 4th of July look! While thrifting at the Goodwill in Crofton, Md. I was looking for simple pieces that would look spectacular together, and here is the outfit that I put together!

I cannot believe how long it has been since I have posted a blog post. I missed you all!
I am nearing the end of my spring break. I had a fun start to my spring break! I went to Canada with my sister and best friend for the weekend, and then we drove back to Maryland for the remainder of the break. We went to Windsor, Ontario. It was absolutely adorable for a weekend.
Yesterday, I went to a new salon and had the best hair cut/color I have ever had! If you are in the Annapolis, Md. area, you must go to see Virginia at Possibilities Salon in Crofton, Md.
Before Hair:
After Hair:
I went BLONDE! I love it so much. I have always wanted to go this light with my hair, but I was too nervous. I can’t imagine having any other hair color now.
I bought this adorable cup at Target! Tell me it’s not adorable!
I missed you all!
This week’s Thrifty Thursday is super fall themed! My sister Payton, and two of my best friends Amanda and Dani (yes we have the same name lol) are here this weekend! We have been traveling all around, we have been all over Kent and the areas around! We just came back from a pumpkin patch and it was super adorable! Both of the outfits I’m showing in this Thrifty Thursday are perfect fall outfits!
This week I went to Value Discount Outlet in Akron, Ohio. This store has anything and everything you could ever want! I was in the store with my friend Marie (who was featured last week!) for 2 and a half hours!
The first item that I found is the black puffy vest from Old Navy! I have the same vest from last year, but in coral. I bought the scarf for $45.00 and this year I bought the black vest for $3.00!!! I saved $42 by buying this from VDO!
And next, I bought the adorable patterned shirt! I bought the shirt for $4! I really like this shirt’s material. It is a a nylon/spandex-y material! It is super comfortable.
I hope you like the last picture I posted! Haha!
I also bought one more item, but I want to save it for you for when it gets a little chillier out!
And now, the moment a lot of you have been waiting for! The winner of my first GIVEAWAY is Abbie Burgess!!! Congratulations! What did Abbie win? She won:
Abbie will get to choose the colors that she wants for her monogrammed hat. I am so excited about my first giveaway!

As of yesterday it has become Fall at Kent State. Today the high was 64 degrees and it was raining *sigh*, summer has officially come to an end, so that means that my outfits have to change! My favorite thing in Fall is boots, sweaters and scarves! This week as you can see, Shawna came with me to thrift! We went to Value discount in Akron, Oh. Shawna and I both LOVE to shop so naturally we were thrifting for 2 and 1/2 hours! Haha!
My favorite purchase is the yellow linen jacket that you see in the first few pictures! It was $4 and is the most comfortable thing ever! It’s perfect jacket for fall because it is heavy enough for the cool mornings walking to class but also light enough that I’m not hot in the afternoons. The leggings are not from this round of thrifting, but they were thrifted! Then the shoes were from when I went to Moonlight Madness in August! I am SO excited to be able to wear them now that it won’t be too hot to wear them. Then the scarf is not thrifted either but it went so well with the outfit. Next outfit! I am in love with this shirt! It fits me perfectly and it would look really cute under a jean jacket or a sweater for those cold nights!
Next, I bought the sweater today! Shawna and I fought over this sweater for a good 30 minutes! Haha! If you are an avid reader of my blog you will remember that I was super excited about the shoes that I’m wearing with this outfit! I bought them probably about a month ago for only $5! I wish I could say that this scarf was also thrifted but it is not… I bought this scarf from Zara about two years ago and it is my FAVORITE scarf. The colors just went really well with the whole outfit. Finally, this yellow sweatshirt… I do not know why I love it so much! But, what I do know is that it is perfect for fall (what sweatshirt isn’t?) and it has parrots on it! Why wouldn’t I love it?
So, you’re asking how much money I spent total for these outfits today, probably $9?!
Shawna’s turn! Shawna LOVES the comfy yet cute look! She rocks the different fleece quarter zips! I am also in LOVE with her boots! She reminds me of a Native-American in them! 🙂 The scarf that she is wearing the last picture is Lilly Pulitzer and has the most adorable elephants on them!
Shawna spent a total of $13 for the 3 fleece pullovers! I’m so proud of her :’)!
I hope you enjoyed this week’s Thrifty Thursday!

Today, I was so excited to look down on my phone and see that I was tagged in a photo by Marley Lilly ! I was so overwhelmed with joy! I personally love this photo. I think it’s because of a combination of this beautiful ring that I purchased from Marley Lilly about a month ago with my nails! I was so in love with the pineapple. In this photo it says that the photo only has 25 likes but, I just checked and it is now at over 3,600 likes! HOW EXCITING, RIGHT?
I think this ring pairs perfectly with any outfit, dressy or casual! I get so many compliments on this ring. I am going to be purchasing one in silver too so I have one to match every outfit! If you’re interested in this specific ring style, it is called the “Taylor” ring. If anyone purchases this ring, please post it and tag me in it, whether it is on Instagram or Twitter, you can do both at @Danieminor13.
I hope everyone is having a nice end to their summer and a smooth start to their school year! Check out this week’s Thrifty Thursday for a fun post on how I am thrifting items for my new apartment-style-dorm!
XO,
Danie 🙂
**Disclaimer: Marley Lilly did not contact me or ask me to write this post. I did it for my own excitement! 🙂
I found a GREAT find at Nordy’s today! It’s the bag that you see pictured! I am extremely excited to use it for school! I really wanted to get a backpack for school this year because I was tired of lugging around a bag when I am gone all day for classes… But when I laid my eyes on this bag, I lost the idea of carrying around a backpack! Haha! The bag is Nordy’s brand and was as you can see, $88 but, I scored it for $44. The bag is made out of a material similar to burlap, so it’s definitely going to last me a long time.
I am happy it will last me a long time because last year the bag I was using for most of the year broke on me in March. I was so sad because it was my favorite Longchamp. I am sure it is my fault the bag broke though, I basically carry my entire life with me ALL day. When I leave in the morning for classes, (which, this year I have a 7:45 am class, I already am so sad about that!) I am gone until I finish my last class and do everything else that I need to do that day. Which means I probably won’t be home until 5 pm.
I also bought a new MAC products! YAY! I bought a new eyebrow pencil, which matches PERFECTLY! It is in the color Lingering. I also bought a new Paint Pot, which is an eyeshadow primer. It is the only eyeshadow primer that I LOVE! I think it has to do with the thickness of the primer. I am not a fan of the ones that come in tubes, they become too oily for me.
These were my lovely finds at Nordstrom today! I hope you enjoy!
XO,
Danie 🙂
