It's been a while since I went thrifting. I truly get excited when I enter a thrift store. Thrift store and Old Navy. I went this past Thursday and Saturday. Now, my Saturday journey was inSANE! I was in there for 4 freakin' hours and loved every minute of it. Well, except for me forgetting my iPod and being relegated to listening to the store's music. That sucked. (Note: Always bring your iPod with you! Blocks out the chaos). I found some amazing items. My whole cart was filled to the brim. My friends, that has never happened before. It was a revelation! But then I caught myself and realized that there is NO WAY I will purchase all of these items. Downsize, I did. It hurt but I'm pretty sure my wallet breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, onto my purchases:
 |
(Left) Vintage Tommy Hilfiger
(Right) I don't have a tan carryover bag. So, of course, this had to go into my cart. |
 |
(Left) I immediately grabbed the black sweater because of the military feel to it. And the picture quality does not show it but the buttons are gold. Black + Gold = Awesome.
(Right) Vintage Liz Claiborne |
 |
| (Left) Vintage Christian Dior: Price tag? $6.95. Um...yeah, it was in the XL section. It had an XL tag. With a little bit of weight loss and breast reduction (I kid...or not), I am going to make that blazer work. |
 |
(Middle) I have been looking for clothing items in mustard color. Preferably, mustard color chunky sweater. No such luck...yet. I am loving the skirt and blazer, though.
(Right) The color of the skirt is navy blue. My camera made it look black. |
 |
| (Middle and Right) Sucker for print! |
 |
| (Right) Not really a fan of sleeveless cause I really don't like to show off my arms. But I couldn't pass up this pretty number. Besides, I can always rock it with a cardigan. *shrugs* Long live cardigans! |
 |
| A better picture quality of the black sweater (above picture). Detailing is key! [Please ignore the nice, well organized closet. It's my sister's.] |
 |
| My love for dresses and skirts have completely overshadowed my need for tailored pants/slacks. Gotta start off somewhere, right? |
 |
| I rarely buy earrings from retail stores. I can say that 98% of my earrings are vintage. When I'm at a thrift store, one accessory I never looked at or cared much for are necklaces. I buy ALL my necklaces from retail stores. Anytime I check out the necklace counter at the thrift stores, I'm just not impressed. Maybe I haven't found the right one. Any suggestions? (In the DMV area, of course). |
Alrighty, that was my haul! Until next time...
