240 - Glitter Grunge (Fall Shopping List)

Vest - c/o ISCREWEDYOURBOYFRIEND, Shorts - c/o ShopAKIRA, Tank Top - Vintage, Last Ring on the Right - c/o Senesense

I've been meaning to write a fall shopping list since August and just haven't had the time to do it properly! One of the items on that list, though, would have to be an army vest. I love the versatility of this sucker. You can pop it on over a striped sweater with black high-waisted jeans and lace-up boots and you've got yourself an easy fall look, lemme tell ya.

Unfortunately, Los Angeles thinks that October is the perfect time for 95-degree Fahrenheit heat.

Thanks, LA. I love sweating through Halloween.

Anyway, below, in text form, is my shopping list. I think every piece mixes and matches really well together, and hopefully I'll have time to do some Polyvore sets to show you what I mean in the near future!

20-PIECE FALL SHOPPING LIST

1. pom-pom beanie in a bright color (color pop that shizzz)

I've included links to an example of each, but as you know, you can find most of this stuff at a thrift store! It will cost you 1/10th the price and most likely be one-o'-a-kind, so get out to your thriftin' places.

Also, apparently Salvation Army hates the GLBTQ community (not sure how I missed that for so long)? So, it looks like we hate Salvation Army, too. Shop at another thrift store, please!

EDIT: Isabel told me that thing about Salvation Army -- she is the keeper of all knowledge regarding which companies suck and which are alright.
