First Time Thrifting!

       I went thrifting for the first time recently! I hit up a local thrift store and also a goodwill. I think I did pretty well. It took a lot of digging but I came out with some items that I'm excited to add to my wardrobe!

       I went with a main goal of finding jeans i could turn into distressed cutoffs. I was a bit overwhelmed by all of the jeans but managed to find two pairs. I think I'm only going to make one of them into shorts though. All of the jeans I tried on were skinny flares and I felt like they needed to be a bit looser in the thighs for me to make them into shorts.

These are the jeans I got to make into shorts. I think I got an awesome deal on them considering they are BCBG Max Azria and i got them for $3 at my local thrift store.
 The next pair I think I'm just going to keep as jeans because they are super soft and fit like a glove. They are pair of well worn in Levi's that I got for around $5 at goodwill.

My friend actually found this dress for my when we were in Goodwill. Its from the brand Mossimo which I'm pretty sure is originally sold at Target. I got it for somewhere around $5 and it looks practically brand new. I actually just found it on the Target site for $25 so I got a deal!
I also got these cute earrings for $1.25 from my local thrift store.










 Lastly my local thrift store was having a half off sale on there purses so I got these two for really cheap! Apparently I have a new thing for straw bags.
Capiezo New York purse was $3 and looks brand new.
Etienne Aigner for $2.50! Its a little beat up, but I think that gives it character.
I think I'll do another post soon about cleaning your thrifted stuff.
Hope your having an amazing day!
