Y’all know I’m frugal, right?! I love a good bargain, and cannot stand paying retail for anything…. I mean, I will if I have to, and I do-but I’d rather shop around for a good sale! One of the ways I save money is by shopping at thrift stores, (it’s also one of the ways I MAKE money, but that’s another post!) I have the Shot@Life Champions Summit coming up very soon and while I want to look nice for it, I really don’t want to break the bank! This past weekend, I paid a visit to my local thrift shop to see what I could find, and boy did I score!!
I’m a jeans gal, always in my jeans… well, I can’t wear jeans to the Summit; so I set out to find some nice dress slacks. Found ’em! 2 pairs of blacks slacks, $4.99 each- in like new condition! Scratch that off the list. Next I needed to find a blazer or two… Found ’em! I actually found about 7 or 8 of them! lol! Got a Talbot’s blazer for $8.99… a Nordstrom’s blazer, Brand New with Tags- Never Worn, 100% pure silk!! (It’s in the video I made, coming up in a bit!) Scratch blazers off the list. Blouses, need a couple of really nice ones. Found ’em! The one I like best is from Macy’s, Brand New with Tags-Never Worn! Fits me like it was tailor made for me…it’s in the video too!
I still need another top, and some cute shoes, but I’m quite impressed by what I was able to find at the thrift shop! I hop you enjoy my video, I’m new at making them…next time I won’t be so nervous! Be expecting more #TalesFromtheThrift posts from me in the future! Thanks to Xenia, from Raised By Culture, for allowing me to join her #TalesFromtheThrift crew!
Do you shop at thrift stores? If so, whats your best find so far?
