But yesterday was different. Finally!
At the first store I found a black quilted bag with long chain handles; and I'm not sure if I like it because I've seen particularly fashionable people carrying similar bags, or if I could indeed be a black quilted bag person. Most of my bags are big and bright!
Since I was being particularly chatty with the woman ringing me up, asking her about a bag that didn't have a price tag, and which one she liked best, she gave me the bag and two scarves for $4.50!
(the flower vase and table runner were my Mom's thrifting finds!)
I was looking at Morning Cloak's blog the other day and she mentioned how she loved her shoes photographed against a hexagon tiled floor - so I had to try it out!
Just for fun I had to snap a photo of this crazy sequined jacket I encountered - wouldn't it be great for halloween?
Have you had any great thrifting finds lately?
I love your mary jane flats in the first picture, it looks very Alice in Wonderland. And your sequin vest is epic, who says you have to wait until Halloween? ;D
ReplyDeleteCute scarves!
Love your outfit, the purse is too cute!

ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment and you are so cute! Love the outfit and your incredible bargaining prowress! Was just telling my sister how "thrifting" where I live is soooo dismal. Where do you live to get such good deals? In the midwest? i remember my BFF went to school in Mass. and always came home with bucket loads of designer goodies for such good bargains!

Of course you already know about my finds, but the $1 teal vintage sweater was amazing! Cute finds, I like those heels, nude will be a great shade especially in spring summer (every year!).
ReplyDeleteyes you did score big! that jacket could probably sell for something on ebay. love the shoes a ton too. i'm all about black and white hexagon backgrounds. if i had one i'm afraid i'd lay on the floor to take all my photos. lol!
ReplyDeleteso fun!! i love all of your finds and your moms too! I hope you wear that jacket soon...it would make a rockin costume too!
ReplyDeleteyou look lovely!!

Thanks so much for the blog shoutout! I was noticing how that photo with your heels looked great, but I didn't even think why and then I saw those hexagon tiles.. they work wonders!
ReplyDeleteLately I haven't been having as much thrifting luck, as I have been having ebay luck.
Check out this jacket I won mere minutes ago: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200438658259&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
I had to share it with someone!
I love the sand colored heels! Such a versatile color and the bag will never go out of style!
ReplyDeleteahh! i loooove that bag!!! i've been wanting to go to a goodwill store JUST so i could get a bunch of these chain bags!
ReplyDeleteI always have the same debate with those bags. Really any bag with a long chain strap.
ReplyDeleteI go to thrift stores all the time. You are right, sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you don't but it is always fun!
ReplyDeleteLove your bag and the shoes are so sweet!
going to a thrift store will always be one of my life's greatest adventures. you just don't know what to expect. love your bag btw, you look stunning!

I'm the same way when it comes to vintage shopping - I always think "today will be the day I find something fantastic" and then I never do. But this gives me some hope that my day will come!
