This colorful, overly eccentric vintage store totally surpassed my expectations….
Looking for unique vintage garb is like finding pure gold when hunting the racks at your typical Thrift Store, but Dolly Python was not a thrift store and the originality and ambiance took you back in time! The gold was clearly at your fingertips!
My gal pal Prescilla and I stopped by only minutes before closing to check out the layout for the upcoming thrift tour. I wanted to meet the team (which were very excited about the tour and informative), check out the collection, and run through the ideal stop. From vintage antique brooches to 30's era decor, a girl who adore vintage would go bonkers in there! The jewelry was one of a kind. If you are into cowboy boots they have a vast selection of styles that really bring out the best of the Texas culture. I was definitely impress.
Overall I'd say if you really love vintage items, "Dolly Python has Tons of Vintage Garb for really fair prices". I can not wait to head back in on June 20th to really shop the racks and maybe do a vintage haul of my #favfinds. I've collecting a few authentic vintage pieces over the years that were not my size or style. I kind of became a hoarder. Shhhh.. Dolly Python actually buys your vintage items so I will be selling my vintage pieces or maybe exchanging them for some new to me garb! Exciting! Stay connect & get updates on the the next thrift tour and outings by heading over to ThriftinStyle blog and subscribe!
I'd love to see some of your vintage garb from Dolly Python so tag me on Instagram at @thriftinstyledfw and hashtag #thriftinstyle.

My Latest Outreach Project
This month I decided to end it with a recap of a project I believe is a positive step towards social change in the world. Small, but successful. I'm sure you know I have a huge heart for single parents in general, but this year I wanted to really impact my community by focusing on one particular area.
Studies show that although the Teen pregnancy rate has decreased since 2010, teen pregnancy in Texas has grown to reflect economic challenges in low poverty areas. Teens are not finishing High School and living on government assistance.
I believe together we can live positive and fashionably meaningful lives that will create positive change in our society. Creating outreach projects, advocating, and working as a Liaison for the economically distressed allows me the opportunity to be the change I really want to see in our communities and for women and young mothers. I also strongly believe if we stunt growth of teen pregnancy by educating the masses on the value of self value in a society that glamorizes beauty and sex, we can empower spiritual growth and self ambition. This will also cultivate a new standard of beauty. A standard in the millennial that is often hidden behind worldly validation and lack of Godly confidence.

I want to support "striving to thrive" teen moms, educate young women on the importance of teen pregnancy prevention and self worth, as well as advocate for Teen Moms. On April 9, 2015 some of my favorite people and I, hosted a Live Prom Primp Day for teen moms in the Irving ISD.
We garnered formal gowns, shoes, accessories donations and whole a lot of love to shower teen moms who are staying the course to finishing High School with the opportunity to attend one of their High School milestones. The smiles and gratitude from the young women gave me so much peace. Below are a few moments captured from the day. This is not the last you will hear of this project!
Okay so I haven't posted since last year. #lazybloggersyndrome I have been making strides to finding my ultimate purpose in life. I've found my favorite outlet which is Facebook www.facebook.com/tiyunnajohnson.
I find it easier and less intimidating than blogging. ERRGGHH...
