Thrifted: Haul #1

So I went thrifting...

and I'm obsessed.
Not to the point of going all the time but thinking of it. I just really like the whole treasure hunt aspect. It's a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
I will do my best to remember the prices and I included the brand names for those who are curious. With that said here it goes.


Gold Necklace ($1.99) I love the way its linked and it feels like nice quality.
Gold Knot Earrings ($.99) I absolutely love these!  They are so cute.
Silver Fan Earrings ($.99) These are really cute. They're a bit cheap, like plastic metal(?)
White Floral Ring ($3.99) I really love the design. I'm trying to start a ring collection.
Octagon Silver Ring ($1.99) It's really simple and pretty.
National Geographic from 1981 ($.39) I have no idea what I'm going to do with this but the cover was so pretty.  Maybe frame it but I don't want to damage the magazine.



White Open Knit Pull-Over from Christopher & Banks ($3.00) 
I thought this would be a nice beach coverup.
Hawaiian Print Tank from Tiasa ($4.00)
I LOVE this.  It isn't the most figure flattering but I love the print.
Mint Green Cable Knit Sweater from Croft & Barrow ($4.00)
Gorgeous color.  It's a bit short but I think it makes it look cuter.
Black Open Crochet Sweater ($4.00)
No idea how to wear this. I just thought the fabric was so unique.

Along with rings I want to start a belt collection.

Green Leather Belt from Ralph Lauren ($1.99)
It's a really dark green and seems to be real.
Beaded Brown Belt ($.99)
I love the beaded detail. It's definitely a waist belt for me.
Braided Black Belt ($.99)
Super cheap quality but I wanted a really long belt. 

 So I have a third collection I want to start...
Random t-shirts, most with animals on them.

Yelling Moose/Caribou ($4.99) I love how artsy it looks.
Arizona Collage ($4.99) I like the navajo print and the big skull.


Anyone else have thrifting fever?

Thrifted: Destroyed Shorts

 I've been seeing a lot of the high waisted distressed denim shorts around and have been dyeing to try them out.  I didn't want to spend $40 plus on a pair of these since I figured it's a one season type thing.  

 So I ventured into the thrift store to do it myself. 
I've never been in a thrift store before so I found it pretty overwhelming but I was happy to see that all jeans were 50% off at goodwill.



I bought these Levis for $3.  I was really inspired by Shenae Grime's pair and I think they turned out pretty well. 
After a few hours of distressing, they went from mom jeans to trendy summer shorts.  


I also bought 2 more pairs (*The pair in the middle I didn't like so I'm returning them.) Both $4.  The first pair is from Gap and the second are Abercrombie & Fitch.  
I think I'm going to dye the Abercrombie's since they're a bit boring on their own.

Have you ever gone thrifting?
