Thrifting.

To me, one of the most wonderful things is finding pieces of clothing that are unique and cheap! And thrifting is the best option when you have a tight budget. Even though you might not be able to find things that fit well, a lot of things can be compromised when you are only paying three to ten dollars for a piece of clothing. Trends always come back around, and that's the most beautiful thing about thrifting, you can definitely find things that are in style this season in its original style from the beautiful 60's that I wish I lived in. 

I am definitely no expert on thrifting, I have only been to a few places but I want to share with you all the goodies I have found and where I found them! 


Savers

139 Endicott Street  Danvers, MA 01923

(978) 777-8631




Polka dots sweater from Jones New York in Large



Denim tropical print skort from Liz Claiborne in 4

I have gotten some other things at Savers but they were more silly things like an elmo beanie. I really like shopping at the men's section wherever I am shopping, they tend to have good flannel shirts or denim jackets you can cut into denim vests. I also got a maroon men's long sleeves t- shirt that is long enough to wear with just leggings as a lazy day outfit. 



Bootstraps Thrift Store

371 Cabot Street  Beverly, MA 01915

(978) 927-1561

This store was actually doing a half off on everything 2 dollars and above and their system is a fixed price on every type of clothing so I got a bunch of things under 20 dollars!



Denim hoodie from LT Modern Perspectives
I usually wear this with a grey hoodie layered underneath.


Denim collared flannel shirt from Purrfect by Krazy Kat in S

This is probably my favorite find ever because the colors in the flannel is beautiful and the denim collar gives it a unique touch. 
I styled this in the Outfits post we did last weekend, check that out if you wanna see how I put it into an outfit!


Velvet shoulder bag from Frenchy of California 
The straps can be taken off and this bag can be used as a clutch!


I also styled this belt in the Outfits post! 



Silver earrings. I believe it was only a dollar!

There are more expensive things at this store, in their counter they had a pair of Ray Bans but they were 25 dollars so I didn't get them. They also have furniture and house ware!

Last but not least is a store named Dress Code I found randomly in Gloucester, sorry I don't have a picture of it, but here is the address!

Dress Code
159 Main Street
Gloucester, MA, 01930
(978) 281-2888




Men's military jacket from KL 88-92 in S



These are my favorite earrings and they were only 3 dollars I believe.

So that’s all the gems I found from thrifting this past 2 months, I think thrifting is such a good alternative to the mass production stores like Forever21 or H&M at the malls nowadays. Thrifting usually means better quality as well and it’s such a fun thing to do with friends. Try it out and comment below what your thrifting experiences are! J
