Thrift Away

So, since I just started this blog and haven't had a chance to photograph my first subject yet, I decided i would update you on a recent thrifting expedition I went on. Last Saturday, May 9th, my friend and I decided to check out a big thrift sale at a church in a town nearby. I was very excited, but was not expecting anything great, especially since it was the last day of the sale (I figured everything decent would be gone). Nonetheless, my friend and I headed straight for the "Bargain Clothing" section and began to eagerly sift through the racks and piles of old clothing. Well, I ended up buying 3 dresses and one old tee shirt for all of $3.25. Each dress was $1 and the tee shirt was 25 cents...my friend and I were completely shocked (and thrilled) at how low these prices were!
So, here are pictures of 1 of the dresses (since one is in the wash, I'm wearing the other and the tee shirt really isn't that interesting):


This kind of looks a little like an old wedding dress and it definitely needs to be shortened (since I stand at a whopping 5'1), but I think it has some potential. I love the lace and the floral pattern.

My friend and I then proceeded upstairs to the "Boutique Clothing"and "Accessories" sections.
There I found 2 amazing dresses (which of course have to be shortened) for only $5 each! I also found a gorgeous old leather coach bag, also for only $5!



I love love love this turquoise-y dress! The puffy sleeves and florals are adorable. This brown leather Coach bag is so great for everyday and was such a steal!



I've been searching for the perfect white summer dress for forever, and this one is so simple and lovely! It will be perfect when it's shorter.

Altogether, it proved to be a fabulous and productive thrifting experience!
Ciao for now,
