and i went thrifting with my thrifting-partner-in-crime, sierra, yesterday.
let me show you the loot....
1. vintage dress that is super-see-through.
we had to play around with different types of lighting so you couldn't see my unmentionables.
don't worry...i will buy a full-slip before the church peeps see this little number.
2. vintage dress that i wore to the temple last night...
my brother ty told me he liked this dress, which is major compliment because he hates everything in life. just kidding. (BTW...like my bruise? i have like 7 of those on my body right now. i am a klutz.)
3. thrifted skirt that i am obsessed with.
i am in love with houndstooth. it is so stellar.
4. thrifted skirt with the cutest pockets everrrrr.
this may be my favorite skirt of all time. and it was only 3 bones!
5. vintage dress that ted is in love with.
ted may have done a butt-grab when i wore this. oh ted...
6. thrifted outfit that i feel happy in...

They are all adorable!!
oh my gosh, every single piece is fabulous! I can't pick my favorite! I NEVER have this kind of luck when I go vintage! Lucky girl!
Ooooooohhhh! These are WAY cute!!
Très jealous of your thriftinf genius!
All our thrift stores are crap and all the good stuff is way over-priced. So I eBay for clothes.
xox
i love love love the first look! the shoes, the belt, the pearls- all perfect
but the third look is a close runner up. the skirt with the blouse and belt and GORGEOUS coat. LOVES IT
all of them are simply amazing.
I take it back- i can't pick a favorite. all the outfits are fantastic and look sooooo good on you
I really like #3. But I love all of them, you dress so cute. I wish I had your fashion sense. :)
Skirt number four is a total Blair freakin' Waldorf skirt!
I think number three is my favey fave, though.
I like #5, although it doesn't make me want to grab any butts...
AAGH!! SO hard to choose!.. BUT- I will have to go with Ted's butt grab dress. it is SO beautiful and you look amazing in all of these!
You're totally going to need to give a tutorial on "how to thrift".. :D
ooo soo cute!! I will have to say my favorite is 6! I love floral! And then 2! But all of them are so darling!
Def. nº 2 and nº3, those are by far my fave ones!
So cute!
I adore the white dress (even though it's see through...we can work around that.) and I LOVE the cute skirt with the little pockets. Adorable.
I swear you find the cutest things!
Be more careful walking around Bella Jr. haha
Hmmmz, I'm liking #2!
The thrift store is amazing. I'm fashion retarded, so I can't make things look really good like you do. I think I have a blue polka-dot dress JUST like that one. Although it doesn't look as cute on me, if it looks cute at all. I'm jealous of your amazing fashion abilities girl! :)
I LOVE the navy skirt!!!
Thanks for blogging again!
I am totally torn between the one you wore to the temple and then the one that Ted did the butt grab in =)
You look super cute in ALL of them though!
Sooo cute! I love the houndstooth skirt, black and white is my fav! I also love the white dress and the blue with polka dots. Cuteness!
Hi. You are soooo beautimus!! I must learn to thrift and be stylish! My fave is the skirt with the pockets!! They are all great though. Seriously. Please still be my friend even though I am style challenged and I spell out seriously!
I want that polka dot dress? Like bad. Oh... so jealous. I'm in love with it. You bro has great taste. And so do you? Wanna share the secret of which etsy store you bought it off of? I need to somehow re-create it. Bah. Love it.
I used to have the navy skirt with white trim. It also came in hot pink.
I love it all! You are completely adorable. But I must say that my favorite is the houndsouth skirt
The houndstooth skirt with that fabulous red coat!
Srsly. I wish we had thrift stores like the one you go to!
They are all cute though!
Glad you are back Busy Bee!
I like the second to last one. That dress is darling, and looks great! No wonder the Tedward was butt-grabbing!
1, 4 and Teds are my top 3 =]
...haha of 6.
glad you enjoyed your week of rest <3
I love the houndstooth and it is SO popular again but they are all so cute on you Lauren - Way to shop!!
I'm not really big on colored tights but I absolutely love everything else about all of your outfits. I wish I had your style sense, and your shape to pull it off.
I too love the houndstooth skirt. I have one that is sort of similar.
First!
Wow, this is a first. Cute outfits all of them. You are truly an inspiration.
Oh my goodness Lauren, everything you wear is amazing!!
The one Ted likes is FANTASTIC, but they all are. :)
My favorite skirt is the one with the cool pockets!
I love the first and second dress! I love everything actually. And so wish I had a fashion sense :)
I love the skirt your obsessed with and the dress Ted is obsessed with. I want that dress. its to die for.
You're so darn cute, and I am happy you got your love for blogging back!! missed you.
third vintage dress. forsure.
You're so gorgeous!
LOVING the blue polka-dot one....and the one that Ted loves also! Soooo classy! Great work Laur!
My favorite is #4. Lovin the pockets and the pleats. Also, the tights and the scarf...Adorable!! I wish I had your sense of style!!
Oh goodness, all of them are all sorts of amazing, but I fell in love with the first and the 2nd to last (the one Ted likes). Lauren, when are you sending me your closet as a gift? Ok, I'll settle for one item. Or thrifting lessons. C'mon, not a lot to ask.
YAY! so happy you're back. love the skirt in three and the jacket in six.
Genius!
ohh my oh my oh my. that blue empire-waist sailor skirt..i have THE PERFECT SHIRT for it.
i need to go shopping. but i'm lazy and shop online.
ohhh the convenience of 21st century technology.
all are absolutely adorable and lovely! :) :)
i am loving the houndstooth skirt paired with the red jacket...so classy!
The houndstooth skirt, by far!
You're too cute Lauren!
You find the cutest things at the thrift store. I am never that lucky around here.
I LOVE the houndstooth skirt. And the blue dress. And blue skirt. Heck, I love them all.
I simply cannot pick a favorite!!!
You look sensational in all of them.
But I do love the red jacket w/ houndstooth skirt.
I was thinking I should go to sleep but instead I thought "Nah, I better check BBL. Something tells me there's a great post being posted right now.". My mind never plays tricks on me. OME! I can't decide my favorite item, meeehhh... I have four words for you: long life to houndstooth! I just bought a scarf with that pattern last week and I'm still swooning over it. (Well, it's not really a scarf. It's thinner. I can't remember the word. Shame on me.)
you are adorable Lauren! Here's the thing, the boat neck dress is my favorite and second, I know where you live! Crazy right? I use to live there!
Lauren i Love all your outfits!
I think I agree with your brother. :) You look darling.
The blue dress and the Houndstooth skirt are my favorites. You are too cute!
i LOVE #2.
so cute.
you have inspired me to do the vintage thing.
love it.
#2 is my fave, but they are all SOSOSO cute. i'd pretty much kill to have your waistline.
Probably the one thing you didn't talk about was your red peacoat! I've been on the search for the perfect one for like years now- and that one is fantastic =)
The houndstooth skirt too!!!I dream about a peacoat in houndstooth... I had one when I was like 4.
toss up between red & white and the blue polka dots!
of course, you look stellar in anything you put on =]
Easy. Houndstooth skirt outfit. Jacket closed? Business time. Jacket open? Fun and flirty. Cute stuff!
i think i like the navy w/ polka dots best - simple and classic. love the houndstooth skirt as well (just scored a few myself).
i just bought a big bag filled with clothes for $25 at mesa thrift... it's so rewarding!
All of them are my favorite. Really how can you choose, thats like asking a mom which one of her children are her favorite.
I had that plaid dress...in 7th grade. And 8th. No lie. Hellooooooo, 80's!
And hellooooooo, I just revealed that I am OLD.
p.s. Houndstooth skirt for the WIN!
p.s. Someone gently & lovingly brought it to my attention that I didn't link your name on my blog post from last Friday. OH THE HORROR! Sorry. I've rectified this situation.
p.p.s. Rectified is a gross word. But "tempting" is hot. Mormon Bachelor Pad fellas, REPRESENT!
Butt grab?! Tsk tsk. JK. Just not in public. :-)
I pretty much heart all of these! Especially the little jacket in the last pic and the pencil skirt. I love pencil skirts they make my butt look A MAY ZING if i do say so myself.
first?
the blue one is my favorite!
I love it all! I'm not fashionable like that. Let alone able to thrift and be fashionable. I pretty much grab whatever and wear it.
Love them all!! But I think the see through and Ted's fave are my faves. You look gorgeous!
Oooh.. I love so many of them.
The houndstooth skirt and red jacket.. the butt grabber looks soo cute.. and the Temple dress.. yep.. darling finds!
LOVE me some thrift too!! XO
So cute!! I love the last outfit! I would never think of putting all those colors together but its so cute!
I can't pick a favorite, they're all soo cute!!
But I might have to say #2 for the polka dots, adorable belt and necklace
#3 because the whole outfit is awesome-spice
and #5 for the wonderful old school charm it has =)
holy cow, i'm first?! crazy.
anyway i totally love the blue dress you wore to the temple and the blue skirt. adorable!
ooh my favs are the blue dress with the yellow belt, and the one Ted grabbed your bum in. :) You have great style!
number 2,3,and 5 are my fave. I have a houndtooth dress that has a red belt. I LOVE IT.
Is that you new place in the background?
You are so cute! Kudos on the thrift store finds! I am so bad at thrifting, the best I can do is going to Marshalls and finding $5 pants which I am pretty proud of! P.s. I am so glad to see this new post! :D
first? srsly???
first? srsly???
o wait guess not...
welcome back stranger
but any who, i am in love with Teds fav... it totally channels your inner Laura Ingles... it works for you! LOVE THEM ALL!
I LOVE the houndstooth skirt!!!
Especially with the yellow belt!!
You're adorable. ;)
I like #3 and #5 best!
So does your mom.
I didn't think the comments button was working so I tweeted Lauren about it, thanks guys... sorry Lauren.
Geesh.
I am always inspired by your thriftiness. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers!
I love all of them! Especially the skirt with the cutest pockets everrrr and the thrifted outfit you feel happy in looks so fun.
Ooooh....I love them all...except for maybe the last one...
Grrr....accidentally deleted my favorites folder. All of my links are gone....and I have to find all of them all over again. Fun times. NOT.
Ok, I've decided that I like the last outfit.
So glad your back! I missed you!
#3 for sure
MBP. you're sooooooooo guy-ish haha. I love it!
I can't pick a favorite they are all too cute. But the last one looks like a lot of fun!
Oh my goodness I want that skirt so flipping bad!!! I wish I looked good in dresses like this but I don't and my thrift stores aren't great here in Colorado like they were in Chicago so I'm going to have to find a new thrifting location.
=] You are an inspiration. I love your outfits.
numbah four! love.
I love #3! #5 is cute but it looks too much like a dress I used to have, and that makes me feel old!
LOVE the blue polka dot dress and floral skirt!
Such pretty clothing!
Definitely lovin the 3 dollar skirt with pleats and the blue polka dot dress. Way. Cute.
oooo sooo cute!! number 4 for sure love love love all of them! your so great at thrifting i go to the thrift store and end up with nasty things! that are hilar nontheless. p.s i missed your posts i won't even lie!
i need to know wear you got that "to die for" red jacket! i am in LOVE~~
Serious cuteness goin on here! I LOVE Houndstooth also. In fact, I wore a houndstooth skirt today. Oh & thrift store prices rock!
Love them all but the red jacket is SO my favorite.
I hope you're feeling less burnt out. :)
I love #5. I wasn't "seeing" it before, just off the hanger. But now I get it. And love it. The belt is a great touch. You look like you have so much fun with fashion and being a girl. I need to get on this bandwagon someday. But I should probably master the art of "wanting" to at least cook/bake first. lol
One word...Adorable!
Um, HELLO--everything is adorable!!! But I'd have to say I love the houndstooth with the red jacket the best. So cute!
oh my!!! do i really have to pick a fave??? they are all so great!!! i mean it! girl, you got style!!!!!!!!
I miss Mesa thrift stores...In San Antonio they aren't 2nd hand stores, they are more like 4th hand. And there is less to choose from.
Cute outfits :)
Oh I love them all! my favorite is the houndstooth skirt and the polka dot dress... so cute!!
I love the blue dress. Where do you go? Can I bribe you? WIll you tell me then? Im in desperate need of church outfits!!
They are all cute! But #4 is def my fav! Love love love that skirt :) plus I love the color pop w.the tights! :)
I own skirt #4 also! I bought it at Target four or five years ago before I had my kids. It's two sizes too small ( i have the jacket with the matching pockets) but I can't get rid of it. It's so cute. I want to be able to wear it again!
You look lovely in all of it!
I can't choose. but I wish I lived close cuz I'd borrow them all!
Yay! I missed you! I love them ALL! Love the houndstooth skirt. I am totally copying your life by the way. I just bought a dress on etsy this weekend (it was waaay to expensive, but I HAD to have it). I am jealous that Ted appreciates your good taste. MY husband, on the other hand, looked at the adorable dress I was buying and said, "that much for a USED dress? It's not even NEW!? And it looks kinda...old fashioned. Its out of style." Uh...yeah...you ever heard of VINTAGE? Sigh.
:) Aimee
86 comments!!! wow pple love you and I see why! I'm a new follower and I hope you see me under all this love!
My personal fav. look is number 6...very very cute.
numero 2. loves it. love you. cute pink tights!
Number 2 and 4 for sure! My Grandma saved this beautiful vintage dress from the 40s for me, and I tried it on a couple months ago.... way too small. BUMMER! It reminded me of your second dress.
....so I know we've already kind of done this with the whole being-invited-to-read-laurensbite-but-it-was-actually-deleted thing.... but if it's not deleted would you mind inviting me? If it's still deleted I'll stop asking now. "srsly."

I recently pulled a couple more people into the Twilight madness (aka made them read the books and now are obsessed, too), and they'd never seen your site.
I love the Hound's Tooth skirt and the blue dotted dress with the yellow belt...genius!
The trouble I have with thrift store clothes is that I am old enough to remember most of them and how they went out of style. But when you find something from recent years and still looks trendy and you jazz it up with your personal flair you win everytime!
Welcome back by the way! I thought you'd be gone longer. Happy to see you again!
What thrift stores do you go to?! I usually go to Goodwill and DI but never find anything that cute! I love the #6 the floweryskirt is super cute!
PS what ESTY store did you order those dresses on I love vintage dresses!!!
I like the dress Ted liked but I won't grab your butt!
#1 is my fave, for sure. Love, love, love!
I love the navy skirt with cutest pockets everrrrrrr. I also adore the red coat. They'd be cute together also.
Houndstooth is a favorite of mine as well. Have you had to take different textile classes for your interior design program? I'm in a textile class right now and houndstooth is not only a favorite because it's cute, but also because it's easily recognized! There's no way I could get it wrong on a test. :)
Hi BBL! Thank you for this post... makes me want to go out and buy some pretty dresses myself. I love your blog and have also been following your twitter. I'm sorry you've been having so many problems with haters. But just so you know, you are an inspiration to me and I hope that you will continue to blog (and enjoy it). I actually have no idea how I found your blog in the first place, but I've been reading it for about a year now.
I'm 27 years old, single, and not LDS... which maybe makes it a little weird that I'm such a fan. But I love that you have a happy life, and honest-to-goodness, reading your blog inspires me to get off my butt and experience things... like reading, cooking, shopping, dates, decorating, etc. So anyways, just know that for every hater out there, there are WAY more fans. Keep it up, and have a happy life :)
my favorite is the same as ted's fave!! but i promise not to do any butt grabbin ;)
you look beautiful as always my dear!! XO!
Pretty stuff! I love the first one!
if you are in love with houndstooth, so check out my latest post ... it's ALL houndstooth & it's ALL stellar, if i do say so myself!
first- teach me your stylish ways pleaseeee and second i just read ur moms blog for the first time and i am cracking up she is so funny! love all the outfits! makes me wanna go shopping
I am so glad you're back! And I am torn between love and hate... I hate that I never find awesome stuff when I am thrifting, but it doesn't matter because I love all your outfits! Totally adorable! And you look *so* thin (in a lovely way) in the dress that Ted likes. Beautiful clothes!
this is so craaaaazy.
blue skirt with white pockets? did you get it at the goodwill on power and ray? (or maybe it was valvista and southern) either way, i TOTALLY tried it on and almost bought it.
please make my day and tell me we tried on the same skirt. it would just be so perfectly random...
I love the white dress and the skirts but I think the 80s looking outfit(last one) is the best so fun!
Um I love the Houndstooth skirt. I want one too : )
My favorite is Ted's favorite. And your fun one. And all the other ones too. You are so freaking beautiful!
Holy moly woman! If you ever make it down here to the bottom of your comments - my fav is the white dress - so lovely! I could never pull off vintage the way you do! Work it girl ;-)
As far as the haters, ignore and delete them. Seriously, they so need to get a life.
much love!
Kim
You look fantastic in all of them! I couldn't pull off a single one...no fair. :P
cute cute cute!
I like them all!!
blue dress with the yellow belt! very cute! I am jealous I don't have that dress to wear :) ...although I don't think I could pull it off as well as you. cute cute cute!
Love the blue skirt with the purple tights. Might have to steal that look.
Houndstooth for sure!! So adorable! I wish I could find things like that at thrift stores. Please teach me how to trift!
I want that red jacket. oh my cuteness. can i go shopping with you? :)
The houndstooth skirt is my fav! I love it even more with the red coat. I'm pretty sure I need that coat!
I love them all - but my favy favs are 1, 3, & 4, so cute!! Especially #1 with the belt and shoes, supercute!! And the combo of the jacket w/the skirt of #3 is adorable. And those berry tights are the best (I've been on a tights buying spree lately and it's all your fault :)
Shoot dawg.
Is there anything that you can't pull off??
I highly doubt it.
Your outfits make my heart sing!
I love them all! You're so cute!
oooo - i LOVE it when clothing inspires a good old fashioned "butt grab" from the hubby. that means you picked a winner for sure.
cuteness all around.
I love the last one, the one that you said makes you happy, but not only because it makes you happy-because it's totally cute!
Ok, I'm late to the party, but I do really love the happy outfit!
I would love to be able to wear something like that again.
I may or may not have to permanently "borrow" that jacket in the last shot.
Kay, when I grow up, I just want to be as cute as you, kay? Sweet. These are SO CUTE!!! I totally wish I could pull things like that off -- the blue skirt w/ the pcokets, the vintage dresses, I can't pick a favorite, they're all too cute!

I agree with Ted. That dress is epic! Did Ted take these? Because thats super cute.
I am jealous oh my goodness, I would personally like to steal those from you, but I won't...apparently I need to shop etsy more.
Oh my god I need your fashion sense. I get the fashion police called on me every day.
I need help.
ah! they're all gorgeous, but i'm going to have to with number....3! houndstooth + red jacket cannot be beat.
so so cute, lauren! i love that vintage dress that ted loves. it reminds me of a dress i wore when i was a kid. but so much cuter and grown up. i love it! but my fave outfit is the one with your red coat and ruffle shirt and houndstooth skirt. so so pretty!
thanks admin.
