Tales from the Thrift

IMG_0792 IMG_0820Nothing says bargain like having a wonderful trip to the thrift store and coming out with ALL THE GOODS! Last weekend I took a trip to my local thrift store to see if I can find any hidden gems. Usually when I go thrifting I’m not really looking for anything in particular. Buuuuuttt this day I was on a mission to find a denim skirt. Now, did I find said denim skirt? Unfortunately, no.IMG_0823IMG_0789IMG_0804But one of the skirts I rumbled through the rack 3 different times to find stumbled on was this corduroy skirt from Express. You guys know I have a thing for pastels and neutrals, so when I saw it, I grabbed it with the quickness. I went to the fitting room hoping and praying that it fit, and VOI-freaking-LA! A small celebration dance commenced to commemorate the moment Lol.IMG_0786IMG_0816IMG_0794In addition to this skirt, I also bought 4 other skirts (ok, so clearly I was on a super skirt mission), a Banana Republic genuine suede and a Max Mara number. I can’t wait to style both! Honestly, thrifting can be a hit or miss. Most of the time for me it’s usually a miss. But those few times it is a hit, I am on cloud 9 because I walk out the store spending less than 20 bucks on 5 items…you do the math :)

    Great outfit! I hear you on your thrifting experience – it’s usually miss for me.
    However, I recently went thrifting a couple of weeks ago and walked away with 12 items for only £20! Happy days! :)
    Your cord skirt is lovely and it actually kinda looks like denim so win win. x
