At first, we began thrifting off to a bad start when we found MARC JACOBS jelly flats that weren't our sizes. Too BIG! After that, the million pairs of cute vintage shoes turned out to be either super HUGE or toe-crunchingly small. When we moved from the shoes to the clothes, things started looking up...
Spotted a Givenchy wizard-like blazer/jacket/cape combination. for ten bucks ! it might have been just a bit too crazy for everyday wear though. just a little.
We skimmed through the wedding gowns- most of them were from waay back when.
In the end, we actually ended up with an overflowing cart ! (though we did cut down most of it before cashing out.)
The first time we went thrifting, we didn't even want to touch ANYTHING. After going a few times, (getting used to the smell, ) we knew to come prepared with hand sanitizer and OPEN minds for all those wacky pieces lying aroundd. In the end, it was quite successful.
Jamie got: 1) a cute peace sign ring, 2) an oversized plaid men's shirt, 3) a metallic-purple bat-winged zip up. (very american apparel.)
Me: 1) a Patchwork denim jacket, 2) a floral long sleeved frock dress to diy with, 3) an acid washy fringe vest, 4) a black beaded velvet blazer, 5) a very cute denim romperr.
But really, what's hers is mine and what's mine is hers. double the closet. ;)

ReplyDeleteWe went to the one on Victoria Park and Van Horne. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but just make sure to keep digging and you're bound to find something (:
