I love thrifting. It's just so much fun. There isn't a thing I don't like about it, honestly, and one thing I love the most is sharing the treasures that I find with other people.
Last week I ventured out to my first Saver's, which is a national thrift store throughout the US, Australia, and Canada. Although it's slightly limited in the US right now, I'm fairly certain they're expanding pretty rapidly since I know they're opening a store just 10 miles down the road from me in March! I'm crossing my fingers to possibly get a job there, although I would probably spend my entire paycheck...
Anyway, I found one about an hour away and these are the treasures I picked up! It's not one of the larger trips I made, but one of my New Year's resolutions is to save more money, which consequently means spending less. Sadly, I had to put back a really nice sweater whilst I was there because I had gone over my personally imposed spending limit *sigh* The struggles of being a college student...
Open Weaver Sweater, $7.99
Sleeveless turtleneck crop sweater, $6.99
Silver chain necklace (worn here), $4.99
Gold spike/triangle necklace, $4.99
On another note, Saturday is going to be *drumroll* MY VERY FIRST YOUTUBE VIDEO!
Now some of you may be saying "oh, but Katie, you've done that before", and yes, I have sort of. However this is going to be a serious attempt at branching out into the Youtube realm for things that I want to add more life too. My first video will be a "come thrifting with me" style video, and I have a few more in the works, but you'll have to check those out for yourself to find out what they are ;) Happy Thursday! (it's only happy because tomorrow is Friday, hehe )
I love shopping for second hand things. It's so much cheaper, and all of the stuff you get can be suited to you. I'm a new follower, and I lurrveee the name of your blog, too cute! I'm a new follower, and you can check out and follow my blog if you wish at www.rollerbladesandvintage.blogspot.com

Thank you so much! I'll definitely come and take a look at your blog :)
DeleteI really liked this post, if you go thrifting around me, you'd be lucky to find clothes like this! I love the jewellery as well, looks like something that could have easily just come out of urban outfitters!

I know, I was so excited! A lot of it is just the luck of the draw and frequent visits. I don't always find just great pieces, but continual looking and combing through the stores usually finds me SOMETHING :)
DeleteSure, I'll pop over and take a look!
