Thrifty & Chic: Hush Puppies

October 10, 2011
This last weekend was insane. I don't believe I went to bed before 2 a.m. from Thursday through Sunday. There was just way too much to do & too little time to do it. Friday, as part of the Sewing Summit festivities, I led a group of ladies around downtown Salt Lake on a little thrift/vintage shopping excursion. Hands down I was the one that scored the most loot. I left a lot of fabulous stuff for everyone, but I found so many great things I just couldn't help myself. It's been a while since I've done a Thrifty & Chic feature, so I thought I'd do that today since I'm still trying to get on top of laundry, dishes, sleep, projects, etc. I found these never-been-worn moccasin hush puppies for $23 at my favorite vintage shop: MisC. MisC isn't like Goodwill or Salvation Army. The owner carefully curates her little shop keeping trends & seasons in mind. I don't shop there all the time, but when I'm looking for something different, specific & in near-perfect condition; I go there. Part of me was hesitant to buy these shoes because I'm used to finding deals for under $6, but come on! Where would I ever find a pair of shoes quite like these for even $23? Have you found any good deals lately? Just recently my sister in thrifting, Laura, emailed me how she found an amazing modern wooden kitchen for $17. I won't lie, I'm so incredibly jealous. Feel free to share links in the comments! I'd love to see what you've scored lately.
