it reaks of thrift store

Me and a girlfriend drove out of the city so we could discover those real kind of cheap thrift stores. We found a gold mine.





These were the triumph of my day:



All of this for how much you ask?

$12.

I have said to myself many times that I'm going to stop thrift shopping and put my money towards more quality, timeless things. After that declaration, I've slowly transformed nearly half of my wardrobe into quality clothes and the rest being second hand. I'm pretty proud of that ratio. I don't think I will ever be able stop. I even looked down at my outfit today and realized wow, everything I'm wearing came from a thrift store, oh well.

hey there is nothing wrong with thrifting. and quality can totally come from thrift shops too. ive found lots of vintage "name brand" items in thrift shops.

you totally scored on your finds. i especially love the coral onsie!
