A new favorite store

Now that I am feeling like myself again, I decided to check out a new thrift store. It's actually pretty close to my house. I drive by it all the time and I would always think to myself, "I should stop in there some time." I'm glad I finally did. Most things in the store are only $1. I love being able to go into a store and pick out whatever I want and not have to worry about the price.

So here are my goodies...
Please excuse these pictures. Maybe I can eventually invest in a dress form so I won't have to hang the items on the back of my closet door to show you :)

No Boundaries dress
$2
Just needs a belt
 
J. Crew button up
$1
 

J. Crew shorts
$1
I think I will shorten them.

Charlotte Rouse top
$1
Yes, those are giraffs :)

Vintage Sauci California blouse
$1
 

Vintage Nicola blouse
$1
This is a project piece. I'm not sure if I can make it work. We will see.

Vintage Chaus skirt
$1
Another project piece. I was thinking of shortening it at first, but I really like the horse pattern and I don't want to cut that off. My mother-in-law suggested making it into a dress. I might have to test out my sewing skills.

Vintage Emeraude scarf
$1
I love this!
 

Ann Taylor braided belt
$1
I've been looking for a gold belt for a while.

Vintage belt

I love this too! The metal is a little discolored in some places, but it doesn't bother me.

I like to share the love when I'm shopping, so I found this cardigen for my mom.

You can't beat that!
 
I also took a little trip out to the Goodwill in Southern Pines.

That's it for this shopping trip. Do you have any suggestions for my 2 project peices? I think they have potential.

  1. You found a lot of goodies. I do think you should make that long skirt into a dress. That would be really cute. I can't wait to see what you do with the other project pieces.
