I am sure every woman has had those days where they stand in front of their closet overflowing with clothes and think "I have nothing to wear!!". Whether you are having one of those moments or just having a bad day, there is nothing like a little thrift shopping to pick up your spirits.
I thought I would share some of my most recent frugal fashion finds! I am apologizing in advance for my lame attempt at modeling LOL.
I found this jacket at Value Village and it has quickly become my all time favourite! I will be getting tons of wear out of it this winter. I love the military style buttons and collar and the length is perfect! With a price tag of $9.99...I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
I scored the jeans at Winners. They are Guess Skinny jeans. They were a bit pricier than I would like at $50.00 but they are SO worth it. They are by far the most comfortable jeans (besides my HUE jeggins) that I own.
My boots were a bit of a splurge; they are Michael Kors. I will wear these boots until the soles wear out (and even then I will probably just get them replaced). They are so comfortable and versatile.
I know...don't quit my day job and try my hand at modeling lol. I got these suede boots at Value Village for $9.99. I had my eye out for a cute pair of black slouchy boots since last winter! Yay, I finally found some in my price range ;)
I picked up this sweater at Value Village for $5.99. It is SO warm and cozy but nice enough to wear to my office job.
My trick for shopping at thrift shops is to grab a cart and work your way through the aisles. I like to have an idea of what I am looking for before I go in there so I am not too overwhelmed. I cruise through the aisles throwing anything and everything that catches my eye into my cart. When I am finished I narrow it down by trying everything on.I delivered a couple pieces to a wonderful client last week so stay tuned for some more before and afters. I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!

The first jacket is SO cute! Such a good deal. And your modeling attempt is not lame at all...more like adorable (: I need to go to this store!
Wow I never find shoes when I thrift. I'm not sure if I'm just picky or if the stores around here just don't measure up. I'm jealous!
