Thrift Haul

 

 

It's true. I'd rather be doing this any day of the week! Lately I have found some really great things. It's always nice to be able to switch out a few things for some new to me thrifted items. I have bee working on ways in which I can wear a few summer things in Fall and Winter and I think I have it nailed! I have a basic black spaghetti strap dress and basic black strapless dress. Both cotton. When the weather gets cooler, I tend to stay away from arm bearing items. I have found that by wearing a blouse over these items and tying it in the center, I end up with a more polished work look that's perfect for the cooling temperatures.

 

 

 

Sort of like this cute gal

 

 

I liked this look SO much, that I went out and thrifted 4 more blouse to wear with the two dresses.

I got a polka dot one, a striped one, a sheer floral and a navy one. I believe they were only 4.00 each although 2 were half off so I got all 4 for 12.00! The skirt on both my dress is A LINE like in the photo above and with tights it's sure to look great!

 

I thought I would post some of my recent finds for some inspiration:

 

 

Vtg Halter Tiki Dress

 

This was all wrinkled up and even though it was made in the

1980's, I felt it had a more retro vibe about it.

 

 

Vtg Red and White Polka Dot Blouse

 

This also is an 80's piece with a much more

Mad Men vibe. I love that it has bow accents

and the color is wonderful for Christmas!

 

 

Vtg Red and White Print Dress

 

Once again, probably 80's. I saw the potential and

slapped a mini petti underneath.

 

Modern Dress

 

This sweet dress had the BEST print. I loved the Fall color of it

It is non vintage but I think it's super cute!

 

 

Modern R&K Originals Dress

 

I love when I find vintage or non vintage R&K.

The florals and polka dots are soooo sweet.

I can wear this with a little sweater on date night!

 

Modern Denim Look Dress

 

This one may have to wait til next summer!

 

I had all the accessories at home already and had fun playing dress up.

 

These are just some of the gems I scored recently. Stay tuned for more

as I am planning a thrift stop right after work today!

 

If I find some real great things I just may do another post!
