2013 is almost here, and I thought it would be a good idea to somehow sum up this year. I did it in yesterday’s post by reviewing my best (In my opinion) refashions. Today I am going to share my favorite/best thrift finds of the past year!
And don’t forget to CLICK on the image to see the full post
10. $ 15 Rock Band Drums – Brand New in box from Target Overstock/Salvation Army Warehouse distric, and spotted by my husband! I do feel like I need to inspire more male thrifters in this world, that’s why #10 is going to Sam
9. A very Paul Gauguin dress
Love this dress, perfect for the summer, even if you don’t know who Paul Gauguin is
8. Vintage Polka Dot Top
7. I got Xanax in my pockets sweater
Yes, there were 2 Xanax pills in the pocket of this Pure sweater! Not so pure after all, is it? I will never tell what I did with them!
6. Leather “Basket Weave” Style shoes
5. A Very Zig Zag Dress
4. Vintage Folk Skirt
3. Via Spiga Coat
2. Corso Como $6 boots
1. London Fog leather backpack, found at Empty The Nest store in Burnsville, December 29, 2012. The search for a perfect backpack is now complete! I will never need another one again!
More about this amazing find later!
Happy 2013, and hopefully next year will be 365 times better for all of you, and may it be filled with thrifted and vintage goodies, and a little sweetness on the side!
Last Saturday our family had an early Christmas celebration, opening presents, a great dinner, taking family photos by the tree after too many glasses of champagne… The whole 9 yards!
I also got Sam to take a few shots of me, and give or take, my husband is a great photographer! So here we go, my outfit of the day!
Boots: Corso Como $6 – Steeple People
Dress: Anthropologie – $15 – Clothes Mentor
Scarf: Thirfted back in my NYC days
Cardigan: Mossimo $7
So here you have it, my very inexpensive, but fun Christmas outfit! Thrifting will never be substituted by shopping in my world!
Steeple People will probably be my favorite, number one, go to store when it comes to a thrifting quickie! It’s only 10 minutes away from my house (WALKING!), the prices are incredibly reasonable, and there is always a great chance of scoring something vintage! They also carry fabrics, which is what I was looking for!
I ended up walking away with a bag full of stuff, which included Corso Como boots, a vintage dress, and 3 pieces of fabric, one of which has already been transformed into something amazing!
Here are the fabrics:
50 cents of wool
$3 of black and navy blue fabrics ($1.50 each, though the navy blue one has more yards!)
A $6 pair of Corso Como black leather boots! I wasn’t going to get them, but after looking the brand up on my phone (another reason to have a smart phone when thrifting!) and seeing how much those would’ve cost me at Nordstrom, I couldn’t put them down!
And finally a $2 100% silk Anne Crimmins for Umi Collections dress (it will be featured in one of my upcoming refashion posts), and I am already putting together outfits featuring this dress in my head
That’s all I got! What did you like/dislike from my haul? Did you go thrifting this weekend? If so, what did you get! Please leave links below
