Spiffy and Thrifty

So I went thrifting in a little store in my town that sells old vintage things. It is my absolute faaaaaavorite store. It's called Bridge of Faith and I am ALWAYS tempted to buy something. Luckily, I got some money from my lola, which meant... I had money to spend! So while I waited for my mom and Dinah, I went to the store and did some shopping. I wanted sooooo many things.. but I found a few pieces that were at good price and were an absolute steal! I ended up buying two pairs of shoes ( and shoes were also 25% off that day), a dress, and a necklace. I got all these items for $19.02! So 4 items for under 20 bucks! SCORE!

I got a dress for 6 bucks. I loved the color, pattern, and style. I guess you can say... I have a grandma style.. but I really don't care.. It's what I like! hahah. What I also love about this dress is that it came with a matching belt ( you don't see the belt in the picture). All I need to do is hem the dress since it is a little long.. and I'll have myself a wonderful dress to wear when I'm out and about!

I also got this necklace which has stone pendant. The stone almost looks like a moonstone which made me gravitate to it. Get it? Moon? Gravitational pull? hahaha. GEEK ALERT. Anyway. What makes it even greater was that it was only 4 bucks:]

The last, and most favorite things I got were two (slightly used and in good condition) Cole Haan shoes. I believe they are authentic too! I even looked up the prices of Cole Hann shoes today and the type of shoes I got could range from $150-$350 each! I got my 2 pairs of shoes for $5 each ( 25% off would make them $3.75 each!) They are also EXACTLY the style of shoes I've been wanting and are suuuuper comfy.

 

Not only that.. But I got a free coffee from the bank. AND WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE MY COFFEE:]

 

All in all.. It was a successful shopping day.. I LOVE clothes.. but I hate even spending more than 20 bucks on something for myself, UNLESS the item is for someone else. Who says you can't find AWESOME things in a not-so-extravagant place? I know I did. I'm surprised I could find more things in a thrift store than I could in a major shop. The thing about style.. things could make comebacks.. So why not look through things from the past??

Your style is what you make of it! Wear what you feel good in and what you believe represents you!

If you feel great, you'll look great.

That's my style philosophy.

P.S. I'll post pictures up of whenever I wear the clothes I bought:]
