I went thrifting, AGAIN. Okay not really thrifting, but consignment shopping
Big difference, really.
Please let me know if you are getting tired of these posts, but I personally love when other people post hauls, maybe because I get a sneak peek into their closets this way.
I did spend quiet a lot of money, but I had a gift card to that particular location of my beloved Clothes Mentor. And here are some of the treasures I found this time:
1. Ralph Lauren shorts and Jones New York cardigan – so prep school - $9.60 for both of these, as they were 70% off
Now for the more expensive stuff (I know, I know you are probably sitting there shaking your head at me, wondering whatever happened to $3 finds at Salvation Army or Goodwill, I promise to bring you hauls from there as well)
2. $20 Anna Sui dress
This baby looks a lot better belted, I am sure she had that in mind when creating this dress, or I just like to accentuate my waist line too much
3. 100% silk dress and slip from Anthropologie, which for once is not attached to the shell! Yay! Because (guess what?) I can wear that slip separately with some other clothes! So this one cost me $24, but with some boots, OMG I can’t wait to wear it!
4. Another Anthropologie dress (size 0 – gasp, all the working out is paying off), this time with geometric pattern, and of course pockets (that’s one of my must-haves in a dress) – and this was also $24
5. And finally a $15 Anthropologie (yes, surprise surprise – but in all honesty, I think a richer version of me just consigned all those – if you are reading this post, please leave me a comment and let me know if you have any more cool Anthro stuff, I’ll buy it directly from you! I am 100% serious) dress, which is made of a heavier thicker material, so it’ll definitely be my fall/winter dress, with exposed zipper, which unfortunately you can’t really see
But it’s awesome nevertheless!
Now you gotta comment and tell me which one of these you like the best and which ones are a total fail
Also, if you are waiting for the “Stories From My Closet” I am going to make you wait a couple more days. I decided to add a Sunday Post to my blog, that way you have something to read with your morning coffee
Love you all, thanks for reading and looking and checking it all out and commenting!

Dress number 3 is def. winner. I love it when you can detach the slip, not only is the slip useful on its own, but you can use other slips under the dress; by changing colors on the slip it totally changes the look of the dress.

I need to go thrift/consignment shopping with you. Apparently you have quite the talent for it.

I’d love that! Next week I get two days off during the week, and am planning on either refashioning some of my most recent finds, or hitting more thrift stores
But I would also highly recommend going on your own – that’s how I started

Don’t stop posting your finds . . . I love seeing them! It’s like going on a little virtual shopping trip from my office!

#3 is definitely my favorite – love that floral pattern and LOVE anthropologie! I lust over their catalogs, but alas am too poor to afford it. I guess I’ll have to check out some consignment stores…
