Thrift

It's funny how the first few times you go thrift shopping, you can't believe how cheap everything is and you buy anything you like.  But after awhile, you go shopping and you see those specially priced items and you think, "Really? Five dollars for this?  That's way overpriced."

Anyways, I went thrift shopping today, and I actually had too successful of a day.  I found all sorts of things that would be great for my imaginary vintage store that I've yet to create.  I only had $20 to spend though, which may sound like a lot for just a thrift store, but it really isn't as much as it sounds like.  I ended up just getting four things.

First, I checked out the shoes, which I always do first, and I found these practically brand new lace-up boots.  I think people must have done their spring cleaning finally, and got rid of winter shoes, because Goodwill was loaded with great boots!  I'll probably cut off that little label, I hate those.

Next, I got these vintage boots that I really really love.

The only problem is, the tongues on them are really beat up.

I have this really cute kitten fabric that I might cover them with, or I might try to find some floral fabric, just to put on the tongue of the boot.  What do you think?

I also got this vintage shirt that's too big, but it's such a cute pattern, and belting fixes that anyways.

Lastly, I finally got a denim vest.  I've been looking for one forever, ever since I saw this denim feature in a seventeen magazine years ago.

I didn't get this last one at the thrift store, I actually got it at Buckle last night.  I went in there with my friend while he was looking for shorts.  When he was trying them on, I was just glancing at the sale stuff when I picked this out.  The sales girl literally gave me a whole outfit, from shoes to jewelry, to try on with it.  That was some serious suggestion selling.  I told her I was going to major in fashion, and she actually said I should apply there!  I was pleasantly surprised at how flattering this crop top was, though.  Usually they look weird on me.

I wanted to photograph my outfit today, but alas, the rain kept me from doing so.  Maybe next time!

My birthday is tomorrow!!!  We're going out to dinner tonight. :)
