Recent Purchase: Boden "Easygooing Silk Dress"

I love second hand stores, not only for the prices but also for the great discoveries.
I go to stores like Crossroads Trading, Wasteland, and Buffalo Exchange to buy/sell clothes.
Today,  I went to Crossroads and found a lovely dress from a brand called Boden.



$128 → $51(online sale price)
 → $27.50(Crossroads price)

Great Thrift Treasure: Marc Jacobs Long Skirt!

I hardly ever go to thrift stores for clothing any more, but the last time I went to Goodwill to check out some milkglass, I decided to stop at their skirt section.
And this is what I found...

Marc Jacobs Long Skirt
$??? → $4.95 !

It was one of those "ugly cute" pieces but I thought I can use it for my boho/hippie style fashion.

And then I noticed that the label says: MARC JACOBS and I wanted to scream!

Today, I was searching for the "best fashion blogs" online and I found this blog by Goodwill. You can see all the amazing pieces that you can possibly find in your local Goodwill.
The blog is called DC Goodwill Fashionista. I love the Anna Sui jacket they posted today. You should check it out!

Recent Purchase: Great Thrift Finds!

Yesterday, we went to get our taxes done.
Our accountant, whom we have been with for years, lives in a small town which is a few hours drive from where we live.
I have not been to thrift stores in a while but I figured I should try some thrift stores in the area away from the city.
Then... I found these items below!
They had the Easter weekend sale going on so most of the items were 50% off.

Glassbake: Vegetables Mug
Pyrex: Bradford House Mug
Old Spice: Shaving Mug
Federal: (unknown pattern) Cup & Saucer x4
Pyrex: Town and Country Casserole Bowl with lid
Pyrex: Butterfly Gold Sugar Bowl

Fire King: Hildi Casserole Dish


 
BCBGirls Shirt
(Brand New with Tag!)
$3.52 → $1.73 !

Monteau "Samurai Sweetheart Dress"
$7.99 → $3.99 !

I tried this dress on in the store over my shirt and jeans.
3 people complimented me in the dress so I felt like I needed to buy it...
Not bad for $4 !
