Thrifty & Chic: Thrift-a-Thon Recap
December 6, 2010Last Saturday was SO much fun! I truly couldn't wipe the giant smile off my face all weekend. On top of being surrounded by a fun, sassy group of women, I found some FABULOUS stuff. I thought I'd share my spoils with you:
I've been on the look out for sweet baby boy clothes as of late & just about died when I saw this U.S. Polo association sport jacket for $1.
I also found a sweet $1 sailor romper for Felix AND a $1 hand knit sweater. I'm thinking the sweater was probably meant for a girl, but I'm totally cool with that. The bold blue & green sort of says "androgynous" to me.
I found 3 (one's not pictured, cause Pen's wearing it right now) hand-made thermal tees for $6 total. I can tell they're handmade, but whoever made them surely did an awesome job! I love these sweet little prints.
I found the raddest gaudy blue & gold leather belt for $1 for me. I can't wait to wear it. I know it'll look so much better on me when I actually have a waist again, but for now, I'm totally going to sport it above my growing bump.
I've worn these leather booties every day since Saturday. I love, love them! I especially like the urban/western vibe they give off. They're Nine West & I scored them for $5.
Last but not least, I found a little $6 something for Chris. Chris just started a new job last week where the dress code is all white shirts all the time. White shirts can get a little boring, so I was particularly excited to find one that has a little flair to it. I'm digging the epaulets. They totally accentuate his big shoulder muscles.
I surely wasn't the only one to score some fab finds. Sydney found 2 rad pairs of boots, Sarah found silver glittery keds (I'm so jealous) and Ashlee stepped out of her comfort zone & bought a skinny belt to go with her new tuxedo button-up. Of course those are all the things I can remember off the top of my head. Our little thrifting excursion was such a success, I'm definitely going to do it again. However, I think next time I'll be a little more organized with the first meet-up. We all kind of wandered the aisles of D.I. asking random women if they were part of the Thrift-a-thon, because no one person knew everyone.
So, have you found any good finds recently? Leave your links in the comments!
