Today, my dad took my sisters and I to an antique store in our small town called "Molly's Mess". We've lived here for over six years now, and had never gone there until today. It's kinda creepy/scary looking, and we had heard some weird stuff about it. But we decided to be brave and go check it out! As the store's name would indicate, it was pretty messy, haha. But it wasn't actually all that creepy, like I thought it would be. There was an insane amount of stuff there, it was crazy. There were three whole levels of antiques...the main floor, the upstairs, and then the attic. It was really fun watching my dad look around, and seeing him get all excited when he saw something he had when he was kid, or had wanted, or remembered. I'm sure one day I'll walk into an antique shop and see something from my childhood...that'll be really weird. Anyway, above are a few photos from around the store, but it doesn't even come close to showing all the cool stuff there.
Aaaand this what I wore! I felt very menswear-inspired today...maybe it had something to do with school starting soon. I got these fantastic oxfords at Target yesterday for just $14! Yesss. We took these pictures in a field after we were done at Molly's Mess, and when Wendy and Lily were done playing at the school's new playground. You know you're a blogger when you stop to take outfit pictures in random fields.
I have high school open house tomorrow! Excited/nervous for school to start...but yeah, hopefully this school year will be good. :) Oh, and my oldest sister Hope is coming home for Labor Day weekend on Friday! Eeee! I can't wait to see her, as it's been about two weeks since I last saw her beautiful face. I don't think I've ever gone this long without seeing her before. Can't wait for her to get here. ♥
