My Mini Thrift Heist

June 20, 2011

Last Friday was the first time I did a legit thrift shop trip.  There are millions of thrift stores in San Diego, but I felt overwhelmed by them.  After going through Jentine’s (from My Edit) thrifting tips I felt inspired and a little more prepared to brave the thrift store madness.  That, and I went with another friend who thrifts regularly.  🙂

I went in hopeful yet at the same time not expecting to find anything.  After all, it was more for the experience.  We went to two stores and left empty handed, but the 3rd and 4th (yes…there really are a million thrift stores in San Diego) made yesterday a success!

This is what I wore:

Top: H&M
Cardi: H&M
Scarf: H&M
Jeans: Nordstrom Rack
Shoes: DSW

It included comfortable flats and a cami underneath the shirt in case the store didn’t have dressing rooms.

And, here’s what I picked up.  As you can tell, I was on a hunt for coral, pink, and yellow!
Apparently I have an affinity towards the Loft…or they just happen to pump out coral/pink stuff more than other places.  Anyway, I’m pretty excited because I’ve been looking for pink and yellow bottoms, and here are four of them, all for under $14.
What really excites me, though, are these accessories I got:
Talk about CUTE!  I’ve also been keeping my eye open for a mustard yellow necklace and one just like the one on the right, AND a belt that was mint green / light blue-ish.  All of this was like a dream come true.  Thrifting success, dontcha think?
