I am a huge thrift store, consignment shop and
second hand clothing treasure hunter. I love searching out hidden gems- you know what they say-
one woman's faded and outdated is another woman's chic and sleek! Today I popped into the local Salvation Army and was greeted with welcome news- 50% off everything in the store! So I shopped till I dropped and then called a friend and fellow thrifter to accompany me to a second location to continue the hunt.
In total I bought 5 dresses (breaking my own
dress ban-oopsie!);
8 blouses; 1 scarf and 2 belts for a whooping total of $48.50!!!!!
 |
| Patterned blouse= $2; Denim shirt (Liz Claiborne)= $2.50; Shorts (Club Monaco)= $3; Belts = $0.50 each; Blue scarf= $2 |
 |
| Floral blouse= $2.50; Polka dot blouse (Smart Set)- $4; Denim shirt- $2.50 |
 |
| Patterned blouse- $2.50; Coral pink blouse- $2.50; Polka dotted blouse (because one is never enough!)- $2 |
 |
| Striped dress (Club Monaco)- $5; Blue maxi dress (Old Navy)- $4.50; Rainbow dress- $5 |
 |
| Floral dress- $2.50; Butterfly dress- $5 |
So that's the thrifting and here's the gifting- beautiful jewellery and nail polish from the
boy's travels to Arizona. Last night was my best friend's b-day so I wore my new thrifted Topshop dress and paired it with gifted accessories for an easy and
environmentally friendly ensemble.
