Call me economical, but you can't by much for $1.00 these days. So I'm one of those crazy ladies standing outside the door, waiting for the clock to tick 10AM. I simply cannot smile big enough when I grab a score like this.
On occasion it's simply a rad pair of jeans like these vintage inspired numbers I grabbed last week. (I'm not kidding, they were $1! And seeing as though a recent obsession of mine is the Drama Wide Leg by Mother Demin, just north of a $300 price tag, I'd say I did pretty well!)
I absolutely LOVE scoring a major design piece that my partner & I can reconstruct at Secondhand Star, (see latest here & here) but sometimes it's a just a great staple that some gracious girl decided to gift me by way of donation. (Thank you girl who gave up these jeans! Truth be told, I cannot gain an OUNCE if I want to continue wearing these, but maybe that's a good thing.)Anyway, I'll be sharing what I find every Sunday, every Monday morning! (Now get your own butt to your local thrift store!)
And now for the goods I found yesterday... Two awesome necklaces:
I usually don't allow myself to go near anything over $1. On occasion I stray. This silver circle chain beauty had me out $2 bucks & I was thrilled because I've been on the hunt for major statement necklaces lately.
This wrap tassel chain was found at a yard sale on my drive back from the thrift store (see? addiction!) I love it. It can be tripled up, hung long & low, layered with other pieces, or worn as a belt - a buck!
These two blouses were each marked down to $1. The white linen is a Max Studio stunner in mint condition & will transition perfectly from Summer to Fall...
The gorgeous royal blue vintage blouse has me imagining fitted pencil skirts and secretary glasses for my next interview/event hosting gig... So while these babies get cleaned up at the dry cleaner, I'll try to curb my addiction til next week.




One dollar?! You look like a million bucks. :)

Wow! Great finds! Love the $1 blouse! My recent thrifting treasures have been a $1 bow blouse, a $1 blue midi skirt and $3 hot pink blazer! Love it and yes, it IS an addiction! All have been worn with pride and are on my blog!

The $3 pink blazer: http://bit.ly/r0cdNq
And I lied! I haven't worn the $1 midi skirt yet. I just got it last week and haven't cleaned it yet. Lol.
And I have most DEFINITELY created a monster. I even have to sit with her in a dressing room as she tries on things because she's done the same with me FOREVER. Thanks for coming by my blog!
OMG Carly - thanks so much! A Charlie's Angel? Wow. That's a stellar compliment.
ReplyDeleteMy Dressy Ways - off to check out your scores...
Awesome, can't wait to see what you find every weekend (and it also makes me feel better about my own addiction haha!)! Question: Do you get rid of old stuff fairly often too? That's my problem, have to get rid of the old to make room for the new (old)!
ReplyDelete@ThisTinder - hi! Love hearing from fellow thrift addicts! ha! I'm always trying to make room for "new" stuff, so I'm constantly rotating, yes. But I usually gift stuff to my sisters, do as giveaways, or if it's a piece that can be reworked, my design partner and I make a Secondhand Star piece. We're going to be selling items soon!
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe this! Amazing finds, and those jeans look killer on you. I am so jealous your thrift store does this - I need to find one around here that does too!

ReplyDeleteA Girl's Next Best Friend
Those jeans are amazing on you - I absolutely love them and the price couldn't be any better!
ReplyDeleteI love the tassel necklace too. I've been very into tassels lately, buying earrings and a bracelet, but I didn't get the tassel neckalce I saw. I think I might have to go back for it!
Wow, what an amazing find and they look great on you. My mom also visits her local thrift store every week and finds amazing stuff. I would love to go but no way my kids would last in a thrift store. I can swing stores like TJ Maxx or Marshalls cause they have a kid/toy section but not the thrift stores I like to visit.
