Thrifting adventures!

Thrifting was soo much fun today! I always do so well shopping with my coworker,Ryann. I wish I could have taken pictures of her buys also. She did great. I spent a total of $13. Ironically, that's all I had in my wallet because they do not take credit cards. I scored a zebra figurine in a resting position(I named him Oreo), a black quilted coco chanel purse, black sheer blouse/tunic with billowy sleeves, a black romper with gold buttons and a neon pink fanny pack! YES YES YES!

Let's face it

Come on. Let's face it. I secretly love guys who has the style of Jeremy from the movie Powder and Shia Lebeouf. It's very simple,clean, stylish,maybe a little bit of a 1920s feel. It could include cardigans, top hats, plain tees, button ups, trousers,pleats, relaxed fitting jeans, oxfords or boots. You get the idea. Here are some cheap finds from Forever 21 Mens.

Thrift Store Shopping Adventures

I FINALLY I made it to a thrift store 40 minutes away from my home that I have not been to in about 3 years. This whole week I've been having good shopping days- finding great bargains under $5 at Urban Outfitters, shopping with and getting to know my new coworkers, and today marks the greatest day in my thrift shopping history of great vintage finds.

I found an amazing green,red, and yellow plaid flannel shirt that I tried on top of my outfit for about $2. In which it made my outfit look ten times better. I was wearing a cobalt blue unitard with slouchy deconstructed pirate cream colored boots and a new kids on the block t-shirt. I've been looking for a great plaid men's flannel shirt forever and when I found it earlier this month, I washed it and never saw it again. On a brighter note, today I found a pale blue with a hint of silver lacy slip that is very reminiscent to slips worn in the 40s. I got that for about $3. I also found a skirt that looks very much like something in the current Marc Jacobs fall line. I will wear as a dress. It has a subtle floral print of midnight blue,forest green, and pink. It cost about $2. Totaling up to about $8 plus tax. Great deal I would say, eh?
