Great Thrift Store Finds!

When you go shopping for your wardrobe; do you consider shopping at a thrift store? If someone were to ask me that question 2 years ago, my answer would have been, no. A year ago, I would have said on occasion. Fast forward 3 months later, my answer is yes. I still love shopping at my favorite department stores, but lately, I have snagged several stylish ensembles at a great buy from thrift stores. Looks like thrift stores and I will begin to develop a styling relationship!

This snakeskin jacket and pleated dress slacks were purchased at a Salvation Army. I was looking for a cream or ivory color belt and I didn't want to spend a lot of money, so I decided to check a thrift store. As I was perusing through the store for a belt (That was my main purpose for going into the store). I saw the dress pants on the rack, tried them on and they fit perfectly. As I walked toward the counter to purchase the pants, the snakeskin jacket was hanging on a clothes rack in the corner. Well, I could not leave without taking a look at it. It fit; the price was right, and I added the jacket to my purchase. The pleated dress pants, $8.99, the snakeskin jacket, $12.99 total purchased $22.98 with tax. By the way, I didn't find a belt.

Another great find at a thrift store. This turtleneck sweater cape came from a Goodwill store. I must say, am pleased with this Goodwill store. I have been to this store at least 3 times and I have found stylish ensembles each time. I will talk about those items in another thrift store blog. For now, I want to discuss this turtleneck sweater cape that I found at a great price. The fabric used to make this sweater feels really good. It is a blend of wool, nylon, and 50% of the material is viscosa( a substitute for silk) less expensive material to use but the quality is still soft. Only $6.99 for the sweater!!
