Hooray! I finally got a pair of shoes from the thrift store! I got a few other good things too. My shoes are Bass kiltie loafers. They were $4.99 and looked like they had been worn only once or twice. I have been looking for some kiltie loafers, although these aren't exactly what I thought I wanted, wow, they are close enough for me. Love them. I also got 2 scarfs for $1.99 each and some necklaces that were bargains too. The funny thing is that the thrift store I went to was not one I had planned on going to today. I had originally been going to a vintage store, but it had gone out of business. The store I went to had some good items--an Eileen Fisher wool jacket in a funny light green was $6.99 and some men's True Religion jeans $2.99. I didn't get the jacket because it was too rough and an ugly color. I went to another thrift store and scored a Stone Mountain leather purse for $2.48. I had so much fun looking and finding things that were treasures to me. I am starting to see what all the hoopla is about regarding thrifting.
I have a question for you all. I am throwing around some ideas and would like your feedback.
- Would you like to see pictures of some of my favorite items on etsy?
- Would you like to see pictures of some of my favorite accessories available online?
- Some of my DIY jewelry projects?
Also, do you like to see the closeups of my daily accessories? If you don't think they are worthwhile, I will not post them.
Please let me know what you would like. I want to keep this interesting. I know I am not a witty or funny or particularly interesting author(too many years of technical writing), so I would like to provide something else that would interest my audience. Thanks for your help!
I did wear this outfit today thrifting. I am not sure how one should dress when you go thrifting. Do you dress up or down? Anyway, this is what I wore.

I like Etsy but find it difficult to find things there.
ReplyDeleteI like to see what other people like.
Yes, Debbie, I would love to have links or referrals to your favorite sites. I often "find" some of my favorite things through fellow bloggers.
ReplyDeleteAlso - so glad you are enjoying the thrifts.
And - you are so not boring. You are real.
I'd love to see some of your jewelry DIY! You have the BEST jewelry! ~Serene
ReplyDeleteI love all your pictures! I too have had a mastectomy, and I love jackets. I tend to plan an outfit with a jacket in mind.
ReplyDeleteI like that you wear multiple bracelets, I am not good at combining jewelry - and I can't wear very many of my bracelets on the right because of lymphedema.
I don't care much for etsy, so have no opinion there.
Thanks for your blog!
hugs
