Probably the best $32 I ever spent

When I walked into the thrift store it was like "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?"

Then I scored all this awesome stuff for $32. Not $32 each piece, but for the whole freaking lot of items. -Just wait for the grand finale!

This looks like a karate kid workout top, and maybe it is, but it fits cute and would be great for some iron-on letters or a patch.

The Big Kahuna snag of the day was this gorgeous black coat with fur trim. Sorry, I usually don't mess with fur but-

Tag details. And yes, the fact that she was five dollars had me jumping up and down at the register like a maniac. (Jumping up and down in my crazy head.)

This coat is so rich black, classy and divine I almost wish for a split second we still lived in NYC because this coat would strike people down on the streets it looks so good.

The new photo background is an assembly of FLOR carpet tiles. We don't yet have our furniture so we're basically camping in our new apartment and that's for a different post.

  2. the first pair of printed shorts looks like those hats that Wendy's gave away in the 90s. so jealous... thrift stores (especially Goodwill) are SO overpriced in Seattle. and a lot of them save all that good stuff (Se7ens, fur trim coat, etc) for a huge fundraising event they have. lame-o.

    glad you're getting settled!

    1. That's how the thrift shops were in NYC. They would save the good stuff for the window displays and auctions. That's smart of them, but I do appreciate the down and dirty version that doesn't pick and choose like that.

  4. HOLY CRAP. Awesome awesome awesome. I am really looking forward to your future thrifting posts. My friend just moved to Omaha, Nebraska for her residency and I told her that I would be visiting and that we are going to murder the thrift stores. SRSLY.

    On a more serious note, glad you guys made it there intact and that you are feeling happy and content with the move!!! xoxo
