call it what you want – shoe juju, shoe mojo, or just plain ol’ shoe luck – but i usually have it in abundance when i go a-thrifting. not last friday, though. oodles upon oodles of cute shoe finds, but my size was, unfortunately, nowhere to be had. fives, sixes, eights and nines, but no lucky number sevens. sad.
i did, however, find some other bounty worth noting! so yay!
i’d admired this richard chai for target graffiti rose print dress when it first came out ages ago, and it stayed in my shopping cart online for weeks, but i never could bring myself to buy it. it’s a really graphic dress, and i wasn’t sure for that price i could actually pull it off. but for the $4 thrift store pricetag? um, hellz yeah. it’s well-made, the exposed zipper in the back makes it sort of rock and roll and sexy, and it has pockets!!! which merits three exclamation points because yum, pockets.
this dark green sweater dress is pretty basic, but it has several things going for it that most other sweater dresses don’t: it’s got a fun scoop neckline, the color’s very rich in real life, and it has a trapeze, swingy shape that means it doesn’t cling to my thighs like a bustier on rihanna’s rack (that’s right, i said it). with some waist definition from a blazer, cardi or belt, i’m golden!
ah the stripy skirt! it is one of my favorite thrift purchases thus far. it’s all chiffony and swingy and gorgeous with the teal and black and maroon colors, and i feel incredibly delicate and pretty and ladylike when i wear it. mmm.
the blazer was found not at the thrift store, but secondhand at an online store on livejournal. it was too adorable to pass up – i love those not-quite-round, not-quite-square buttons.
look at those prints and colors! i am so stocking up for spring. no more drab winter colors for me!
hey sweetie!! looks like some awesome finds!! i need to go thrifting myself!
Great finds! The skirt enthralls me and I LOVE a great jacket at a great price.
