Hunting at The Salvation Army

Hello! For my first post, I thought I would go back to my roots and show off some of my winnings today from The Salvation Army. Not only does the money you pay for donated goods go to a great cause, but you can also find amazing one of a kind "vintage" items that can be modernized for today. I have been thrifting since I was 15 years old and fell in love immediately with the idea of discovering wonderful pieces for less than I paid for a school lunch.  I rarely buy new clothing. Fashion is constantly repeating itself and you can find similar, to exact replica's of clothing that are in trend today. Overall, I wouldn't really call myself a "trendy" person. When i do see a trend I'm into, i try to recreate it, but add my own twist. When It comes to my personal style i definitely march to my own beat. 

But enough about me, back to what I collected today. I found 3 button downs. The rust orange one( being my one of my favorite colors) is in fact a mens size small, but I enjoy the slight oversized fit of it, and it's sleeveless making it perfect for summer. The royal purple is a new color I'm introducing into my wardrobe (for quite sometime, the color purple has been through a hiatus from my closet. Can't remember why?). It is cropped and made of 100% silk. The gray is actually a button down pullover sweatshirt. Loving anything with a collar and with the addition of comfort , it had to come home with me. I also hit crop tank gold today. The amount I had in my basket could have clothed a small army, but being on a budget I had to stop and think. I went with the two neutrals which fit me best anyway. I plan to rework 2 of the items i bought today, but I'll leave them as a surprise for future posts.

Now to the receipt. Payed $15.00 cash money for 5 tops, and saved $4.00, because 2 of them were on sale for half price! Thrift stores usually color code their items with tags and select which color to be on sale for the day/week.

One of the tanks even had my name as the brand, also spelt accurately. Wild! When thrifting brands/designers don't mean a lot to me. I usually go for fit and quality, but when i do come across a designer item for less, it really can't get any better.

Time for me to eat dinner. "Let's get the rhythm of the hotdog!" I'll leave you with a now playing:
