Back to School Thrift Haul
July 26, 2018
Like we’ve discussed before, I love a good day spent thrifting. I much prefer the uncurated adventure of a thrift store and usually prefer it to a trip to the mall. While I do love clothes and dressing up, I actually hate shopping which thrifting doesn’t feel like. It turns into a game, a treasure hunt that pays off in good clothes and the joy of knowing how much of a deal you got. These items are accumulated over about a dozen trips to thrift stores in the Columbus and Chicago area. Some items I got but forgot to photograph were:
- A white raincoat,
- A pink neckerchief,
- A lamp for my dorm room,
- An over the door hamper for my dorm,
- Shoe organizers for my dorm,
- A tray (that will be upcycled)
- 2 photo display boards that I upcycled
- A pair of knock off ugg boots
I’m so excited for when it will be cold enough to wear these! The rainboots are a great look and a great height for comfy day to day outfits, and the over the knee boots will be so fun for dressier looks or going out.
My mom is honestly over my sweater collection. She knows any time I go thrifting I can’t help but scour the place for a new sweater or jacket and I did just that.
I can already see this fluffy white turtleneck with a pair of leggings and my over the knee black boots and the other cropped sweater would be great with the ankle length black skirt I thrifted as well.
I practically have a collection at this point. This is actually denim jacket #3 but I’m going to justify this one by saying this one has a completely different vibe than the other ones I have. It’s a bit more of a relaxed “dad” look with its fleece lined interior and corduroy collar. Needless to say, I’m pretty excited.
My sister made me list 5 Beatles songs when I said I wanted this shirt so @naaila
- Yellow Submarine
- Let It Be
- Eleanor Rigby
- Here Comes the Sun
- Come Together
I think these shirts will look great cropped and paired with jeans or leggings in a pretty casual look and maybe even with denim jacket #3. A cute dressier pairing would be the Beatles shirt tucked into the skirt for a dressier, effortlessly cool look?? Maybe?? I have no idea if I can pull it off but I’ll definitely try.
This last shirt is kind of summer-y but I definitely will probably wear it year round because it doesn’t really matter if you can layer right? These shoes i’m excited about because I was definitly about to drop $50-60 on a similar pair from vans. I’ll admit the platform spooked me a little, but I love how they make these slip ons a bit edgier and dressier.
Aaaand thats all I got. Thanks for sticking along with me and my thrift store overshopping.
