Thrifty Thursday: The Camelbak

Thrifty Thursday is back for round two! You're excited? I thought you might be.

It seems lately that this blog has been all mode and no mountains. Well that's about to change. For today's Thrifty Thursday, I present to you, the Camelbak.

I got this little baby for the thriftiest price of all, free! Brown chicken, brown cow. The bf, king of "finding things," picked this up when someone left it at his work. Stealing? No, He waited a full month before claiming it his mine and now I am the proud owner of a pink-a-licious, 1.5L Camelbak. I'm fairly certain my thrifty Camelbak is an older version of this one, which retails for $38. That's a $38 dollar savings pour moi. Aren't I the thriftiest? What thrifty purchases have you made lately?

Somebody discovered the self timer app...

But not before taking this selfie...

Self timers rule! P.S. Running skirts are legit. Get one now.

Thrifty Thursday: Sailboat Shorts

Welcome to today's Thrifty Thursday, which marks the halfway point in my Virgin Islands vacation. This makes me sad. What makes me happy? These shorts. Let's discuss them, shall we?

I love their almost neon, bright, tangerine color. I love the light blue sailboats, stitched on throughout them. I love their 5 inches in length, hiding any and all possibilities of cellulite. Most importantly though, I love(d) their final, no exchanges, clearance price. $12 made me holla at J. Crew and I bought them just in time to wear on my island vacation. Do you like? Are you as thrifty as me? Aren't I just the thrify-est?

Candid.
