My thrift list...Updated with IRL pics of purchases
Permalink Closed

Admittedly most of my wardrobe is either thrifted or clearance rack.  But I always get excited at the idea of shopping...no matter where I'm going.
This afternoon J-Bug and I are joining, of all people, my adoptive mother on a thrift expedition and I'm taking a list of things I'd like to find.
~summer clothes for J-bug are a must
~two or three sundresses, preferably bright colours and floral detail
~black or solid colored fedora (I have some pins I want to add onto one)
~an oversize scarf to use as a sarong
~a fun, colored bag for spring
~a wide belt (brown or black)
~a few short, straight skirts in fun patterns to turn into tanks and halter tops

I'll try to post later with my finds, and let you know how successful I was...or wasn't!

Wow, a shopping list for a thrift store! You are hardcore, my friend.

Good luck. I always find what I wasn't looking for and don't need (but buy it anyway). Hard to believe I have not been thrifting since early January! I might have to go tomorrow.

Let us know how the trip goes - particularly the mother part!

The floral sundress and wrap dress are great!

Also here's a trick that might help with the boots - I wear legwarmers under mine since my calves are skinny. It makes the boots look more filled out.
