Smart Shopping: Thrift Shops

Thrift Stores. What comes to mind when you think of a thrift shop? I used to be the biggest skeptic of them, I had only been to one in Florida and it was a mess. Ever since then I never really gave them a shot (except for a couple really amazing ones in California). Then one day a friend of mine took me to the Salvation Army in Port Chester, NY for some Halloween garb. I did not think I would love it(which I did) and be able to find a lot of great pieces(which I also did). Ever since then I've tried to make my way over there to check out there new cute things. Recently a few days ago I just decided to go with a few friends. Lucky for me I found an adorable green tweed Banana Republic blazer in my size. And it was only $12.99! We all know Banana Republic is nowhere near that cheap! So of course I bought it. I am going to post a few pictures below to show your what I thought it would look good with and the blazer itself. 



            


I hope you guys are able to get down there soon, they have a lot of great things and every Wednesday the place is half off!

    Awesome blog page layout. Caught my eye. I never find things in thrift stores. I'll have to keep myself up-to-date on your blog <3
