HALF OFF WEDNESDAYS!!!!


My favorite day of the week because I get to thrift at the local Salvation Army and get half price off on almost all the sweet items I find. (I get a call from my mother around 9am and she says, "Up early to go thrifting?". She knows me too well).








Just adventuring around the entire store searching for some treasures.
    
Here are the great finds I came home with:


  Jacobs By Marc Jacobs camo pants (from the mens section) to add to my upcoming shop to sell.  (Be on the look out for it)



Some awesome American pride tees!  
Right: Salvation Army (mens section)
Left: Lovely Ladies Consignment Shop (Today they started their 50% off Wednesdays as well)


I cannot wait to put an outfit together with that blouse! And you can never have enough black purses.


AND NEW BOOTS!! Too excited.  As if I even needed to add more shoes to my already overflowing collection.  And like I said in my previous post, do not be afraid to try on and purchase shoes!  You can always clean them, change the soles, and the laces.


Here is a close up of what I wore today on this gloomy/rainy/foggy day.

Black checkered top: Thrifted
Faux leather knee leggings: JCPenny
Spiked toe combat boots: F21
Rings: H&M and a local flea market


Hope you take out some time on your Wednesdays and see what goodies you can find for 50% off!

Too many shoes, too little space.

LITERALLY!




Today is my day off from work so what better way to occupy my time by rearranging my room and organizing all the shoes I own.  As you can tell, I love black shoes.  All black everything (along with spikes,studs,floral/animal prints, and glitter) .  These are only half the shoes I own/wear. (I have some shoes that I haven't even worn yet, oops!).  They are either scattered across my bedroom floor, closet shelf, or the bottom of my closet.  When it comes to shoes, I usually buy on the clearance rack or thrift them.  I am in desperate need of a shoe rack, or bigger room.


Here are two of my most recent purchases (from the clearance section) that I absolutely love!

(and my new healing tattoo)
Top: Studded heel boots- f21
Bottom: Studded toe combat boots- f21

First Post!


Hello everyone, welcome to my first fashion blog ever!  I am a 23 year old thrifter residing in Upstate, NY.  (when I say thrifter, I mean thrifting addict).  I have been thrifting for as long as I can remember.  I started thrifting heavily when I was the age of 18.  There is nothing better than finding an awesome, inexpensive piece and putting it together as if you bought it at retail price.  Thrifting isn't a hobby for me, it's a way of life!   My blog will consists of sweet finds I get my hands on, outfit of the day(s), d.i.y projects, and other little fashion goodies.  I hope with my blog that I inspire you in many ways (one way being thrift stores being your first place to shop).  You won't believe how much you can buy with a twenty dollar bill.
