YouTube Account :) Yay!

Long time, no talk. I always say that I will post more and never do. I suck. Sorry. Butttt - I've made a YouTube account! I plan on uploading every week. I'll be doing random videos from video game reviews, video game let's plays with my friends, makeup tutorials using my Thirtyonewest pigments, thrift hauls, favorites videos, and more. Just a bunch of randomness on one channel. So it'd mean a wholeee lot if you went a subscribed and watched my videos! :D

My channel is : stfulaurenpack

I may post more on here & I may not.. just depends! But I will for sure be posting on YouTube.

Hope you guys have had a good year so far!

New Thrifted Outfits!

Some of these I orginally got to re-sell in my shop, and some I am going to keep! Here we go:
 This is a superrrr cute outfit! I got this entire outfit at Goodwill! This dress is really a nightie, but looks cute as an oversized dress with an awesome weave belt! I found this uhh-mazing scarf as well! 
Dress:  $.50
Belt: $.75
Scarf: $.30!
Total cost of outfit: $1.55 -- wow!
 These pants are mine - but I love them & wear them all the time! I got them from Target on sale for $4.98! There jeggings - and I am in love with them & never wear actual pants anymore :P Anyway, I got this red blazer at Goodwill - I am going to be re-selling this one because I already have one I got from a yard sale awhile ago. I also got this great rose printed blouse! I am most likely going to be keeping this one for myself. I love it! It's so tacky - which I loooove! :) 
Jeans: $4.98
Blazer: $1.19
Top: $.75
Total cost of outfit: 6.92!
 Here's a close up picture of the blouse.
 Same jeggings & belt! This sweater is actually a guy sweater from Express! My friend and I traded it (it was her boyfriends). And it's kind of slouchy, yet fitted? If that even makes sense! But I got this scarf at Goodwill - it's signed. The brand is Symphony - which I am not too familiar with. Oh wells.
Sweater: Free?
Pants: $4.98
Scarf: $.30
Belt: $.75
Total cost of outfit: $6.03!

 This is an awesome summer outfit - i'm a little late on picking this one up. But I am re-selling all of this outfit (minus my brown belt)! This yellow top was given to me from a family friend - so it was free! It's also 100% silk - awesome! Omggg, how many more exclamation marks am I gonna use? Sorry :( Just excited about this blog for some reason I suppose :P lol. I got these shorts from Goodwill - as well as the hat. What a cool hat - vintage floral 1980s Miller beer hat. I tried to get my boyfriend to model this top for me for me to sell in my shop - but he refuses. Baha. 
Top: Free
Belt: $.75
Shorts: $1.00
Hat: $.75
Total cost of outfit: $2.20

The great thing about vintage shopping is that no one else finds these items interesting! So thrift shops and yard sales are filled with tons of awesome outfits. Some people find it difficult to vintage shop because some items really do look horrible on the hanger - but once you try it on & add the right accessories, you have one unique outfit that looks great. You just have to have the right eye out for different stuff. Plus, it doesn't matter if it isn't  your exact size. Most of my vintage clothing (tops and dresses) are wayyyy oversized. A bunch of my dresses are just plus size shirts that I add a waist belt onto  to make it a dress! The more oversized, the better. -- Well, at least I think.

Newest Thirtyonewest Photo Shoot + Products

This past Saturday I was suppose to have a 3 person photo shoot - but I ended up having only one person who could make it - which is my friend, Lindsay. Here's a few of the edited pictures I have so far:
 This dress is super cute! It's oversized & slouchy - not to mention reversible! Yep, this awesome dress has two different sides - woohoo!




 There are a few more I haven't uploaded - but this is mainly it! I really like taking pictures of things - photography is part of what I went to school for. I tend to get into the photography mood when I take pictures for my shop & I don't know if that's a good thing or not? Like, if you skim through a lot of other vintage sites - they just have either mannequins modeling their clothing or have boring models with a plain white background. Which I guess draws all the attention to the product - but I think a good setting also draws interest to the picture? Maybe that's just me. Dfsdfsdlofdslflfdsfl - I'm rambling again. Just me, talking like i'm a photographer of some sort :P baha. 

I'm suppose to do another shoot for a different girl on Tuesday. She wanted me to actually just shoot some pictures of her for her fashion portfolio because she said she liked my photography - so I told her I'd do it as long as she modeled for my shop :) Yay! Someone who likes my pictures! Woot!


It's rather late, I am just the only one up & felt like typing a blog about pictures at 2 a.m.
