Wow- it's been too long since my last post- but let's just say, life is hectic sometimes, and things get left behind! Well not for long- because I have some awesome awesome finds to show you all! On days I have off, I try and pile in as much "to do" listing as I can. Get caught up on things- annnnd maybe squeeze in a stop by my favorite thrift store (Uptown Thrift).
So- On this trip I made maybe a week ago? Can't remember!? I ended up with a total of 9 items- all totaling less than $20.00!!! I was a happy girl!
First things first- At this thrift store every Tuesday is senior citizen day- you get an extra 25% off... Unfortunately- I'm not kicking a cool age of 60 yet. They also have different colored tags- and each week a few colors are half price.
I got super lucky cause most of my finds this time were half off.
Description of my finds... Starting on the first row- Left to right, I got this cute over the body purse- its a light grey color with a half bow style front ($3.30- SALE $1.65) Triangle earrings with scroll detail ($4.40-SALE $2.20) Brown braided leather belt ($2.15) Floral Suspenders ($1.75- SALE .87c)
Second row- left to right...
White blouse- with embroidered detail on neckline and cuff area ($5.51- SALE $2.75) Blue Floral Top (looks hand made) with side pleating ($3.30)- wasn't on sale but I loved it!! Yellow silk slip on top with center pleating ($3.30- SALE $1.65)
Last row- left to right...
Blue silk slip on top ($3.30- SALE $1.65) Brown crochet sweater ($2.25)
I realize that these things - as single pieces, may not look like anything special. Its all about how you put an outfit together! Plus- the confidence to feel good in your style makes all the difference! If you look it and are exuding excitement about it- other people will catch on!
For example.
If you were to put the Blue floral top- with the brown sweater- skinny denim leggings- some ankle boots- and some accessories! Your good to go!!
Or put the simple yellow top- tucked into a cute printed high waisted skirt- pumps- and some simple hoop earring! So cute!
Lastly- this past weekend I was at the fairgrounds with a good friend of mine Allison- and we found out that once a month they have a "Vintage Flea Market" in one of the buildings. So- of course we checked it out. Cost $3.00 to get in- and believe me, there is TONS of stuff to dig through! haha. I was loving it. We came upon this one booth, that had lots of cute jewelry ( that if you were to clean up ) would be very cool. She also had AWESOME vintage hats - that by the way were really under priced if you ask me. haha
I purchased two. One for $5.00 and one for $6.00
That's all my friends- I hope I inspired you all to visit your local thrift store!
Take the step- try and find those hidden treasures- I promise, once you get the hang of it- you will never stop! haha! Plus- you are recycling, so why not help out the planet and start...
Thinkin' Thrifty.
