Thrifty Sundays: How My $5 Shorts Made My Day

0 comments

It never seizes to amaze me, how the littlest of things can have such a large impact on the outcome of your day.

Sometimes you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and from the second you get up until the moment you go back to sleep, you just know your day is going to be doomed with a domino effect of bad luck.

… But then on the odd occasion, something so insignificant and unexpected will happen that turns it all around and puts you back on the right track.

And that’s exactly what happened to me today.

I woke up in a grump because I knew I had a lot of work to do before Monday, plus there was a massive pimple on my face that I could not hide to save my life.

So naturally, I decided my day was going to be shit… that was until I found these cute little shorts at the local markets.

The best part about finding them, was that I wasn’t even intending to go to the markets in the first place! I merely decided to walk through them on my way to the supermarket.

And there they were… just hanging there, waiting for the right new owner to set eyes on them.

They were everything I look for in pair of shorts – cute heart pattern, pearl buttons and high waisted!

I was so chuffed when I paid just $5 to get them in my hot little hands – it completely turned my day around. I went straight home and tried them on!

While I’m on my rant about the little things that make you feel good, I may as well go on to say that my coffee date with the BF on Saturday was rather cute too.

We sat outside in the sun at the new Muffin Break in Browns Bay for like an hour just chatting about where we wanted to travel over the next couple of years.

Also, Mum and I taught Zac to leave the hose alone while she uses it to water the garden.

If you knew my dog, then you’d know how hard it was to teach him this lesson because he is completely and utterly OBSESSED with water! He will stop at nothing to chase it, bite it and play with it!

So there you have it! Those were my life lusts of the week – what were yours? Share them with me below so we can spread the positivity! :D
