What I Did: Thrifting Haul!

First of all, I want to announce the WINNER of the Seven Metals Jewelry Earrings Giveaway! Thank you to everyone who entered, I'm so glad so many people entered!


The winner is Miss Angelyn! Thank you all for entering. Angelyn, I will be in contact with you shortly about your prize.

Yesterday, we hit up Savers and I actually wound up finding a lot of neat pieces for cheap! I am really excited. Keep your eye out for some cute outfits soon!

Tops

First off, I bought a couple of tops. I hate shopping for shirts. It's so much easier to buy dresses than to match a top and a bottom. I found a couple of cute button-downs (top row and bottom left) that will work for my job as well as casually. In the middle, there's a cute tank top. The t-shirt on the bottom left is basic, but I don't have a lot of basic shirts.


Here we have a couple of dresses and a really interesting vest. The watercolor floral maxi dress is one of my favorite things! I love the length. I plan to mostly wear it as a skirt rather than a top. The pink dress is also really cute on. The vest... Oh my goodness, the vest.


Vest Detail

It has two embroidered Marie Antoinette-eque heads, complete with interesting hair ornaments (An entire ship?! Vegetables?!). This vest was so quirky-weird, I had to get it. I'm not sure what I'll wear it with, but I definitely needed it in my life. 

Overall, I had a really successful trip! I haven't been shopping in a while so it was a nice treat and everything was inexpensive.

What treasures have you found at a thrift store?

Thank you! I am very pleased with how much I was able to get for how little :) I have been needed a few things for a while.
Nice work! I'm horrible-- I usually head straight to the dresses, then the books, and then I'm out. :)

I'm the same, typically! Dresses, sweaters/cardigans, skirts (maybe), then knick knacks and books. That's why it's a big deal that I got tops for once :)
That vest is an AMAZING find! Absolutely love it.

My #1 thrifting treasure is a blue fur-trimmed vintage coat. I paid $5 for it, and in the pocket was a $285 price tag. You can see it here: http://www.clearancecouture.com/2012/01/vaile-man...
