Thriftbag Thursday


 Sweater/Jumper: Urban Outfitters
This is seriously ancient
and misshapen but I love 
the jersey with lace sleeves. 

Spaceman helmet: My husband's old toy

Boots: Aldo (UK not USA)
Also ancient and
they've been re-soled a few times.

Tights: Target
They're actually gray 
so you're not missing much

Skirt: Thrifted/home-made…
Last week I said this skirt was a whole other story. 
 I made it a long time ago from an old festival t-shirt.

I can't remember I did this directly from the book Generation T, or if I adapted a simple version of one of their skirts. If you have a closet full of old t-shirts I recommend this book.

I doubt you could get away with wearing most of their creations in a workplace setting, but when I wear this skirt inside out I know I'm rock n roll on the inside (literally).

On another note, last week Selena suggested I do some photo tutorials here on the Glad Blog and I thought about combining the Thriftbag feature with some super basic photo tutorials. It'd be an extension of the Photo Geekery from 12 Days of Gladness but we'd start right with the basics.

I know Kitty and Buck has photography tutorials, and many other blogs do them, but I thought it'd be fun to use my own photos so you can see how I took them. 

What do you think? And what would I call a feature combining Thriftbag and Photo Geekery? Let me know below!
I'll shine some light on taking your own manual photos. It'll be, er, out of this world.
