While I was home this past weekend I made sure to squeeze in a stop to my favorite local Hospice thrift store. I always seem to find hidden treasures there; and they even gave me the volunteer discount ($1 per piece) since I used to volunteer there in high school! I picked up a bunch of stuff; among them, a black sheer button down, an 80's defined shoulder blazer, skinny striped tee.
I wish you could see the giant 80's shoulders on this hot little number!
Saw this look on le fashion & loved that it had a very similar feel to it! Maybe I need to add some sequins? I sense a DIY coming on..
Do you ever shop at thrift stores?

Those giant shoulders are impressive!
ReplyDeleteI've scored some great finds at thrift stores, but mostly outerwear. It takes so much time to go through all the racks and I usually don't have the patience...
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Lauren. Love the outfit. I am not patient enough to go through everything in the thrift stores. Then my boyfriend usually starts sneezing and we are outta there. haha, need to leave him at home!

what lucky finds, you look adorable! i almost exclusively shop at thrift stores or church basements and bazaars (or, erm... kids' stores and... yeah). whenever people ask me where my clothes are from i always somewhat embarrasedly answer a thrift store or my grandmother's closet or something. i wear old people clothes.
ReplyDeleteYou got that amazing outfit at a thrift store? Oh, I envy you. You are a fabulous thrifter! I don't usually shop at thrift stores, but there really aren't any in my neck of the woods. If I found a great one, I'd probably spend my life there! :)
ReplyDeleteAMAZING JACKET!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with that blazer! gorgeous!
ReplyDeletei wish I could see the padded shoulders ! the sequins sound like a good idea. But I'd probably prefer studs :)

I'm also a little to impatient to thrift most days - and I'm always disappointed if something isn't my size!
