New Adventures from the Thrifting Wonderland

Saturday was spent having fun going thrifting and enjoying the plesantness of being on my own for a change. I love Zach to pieces, but if he goes thrifting with me he gets a little antsy and complains that I'm taking too long so I end up not having as much fun as I would have if I was by myself. So it was an enjoyable experience. Here's what I wore for the day! I bought this sweater on Thursday night from Forever21 and couldn't wait to wear it. I was suppose to save it for the conference but it was fitting for our cold snowy weather.

Sweater, Forever21 ($17) blouse, Kmart ($15) jeans, Forever21 ($10) flats, Target ($5)

Could I have had a better thrifting experience on Saturday? I think not!!! First off, I found a super cute purple wool skirt and a couple of warm scarves for my trip this coming weekend.




Then a pair of fun olive colored flats that were too cute to pass up. And they were never worn!


Since I am taking the Style School class I also needed a few items to finish up some projects I've had in the works, like this carry-on luggage and these cute little vases.



Then the Pièce de résistance was the awesome table.

There was a cluster of four of them and I had my eyes on the prize. I desperately need side tables for the bedroom and they would've been perfect!!! As I come up to them, I start dropping my handfuls of stuff so as I am kneeling on the ground to gather my things, my perfect tables are being picked up by a couple of guys gushing over the Saarinen Tulip Tables. I kindly asked them if they were planning on taking all of them because I was about to take one and didn't want to seem like I was taking it from them. Then one of guys sighed and said, "If you can appreciate the aesthetics of the piece then you can have it". I felt so bad, but he insisted, so I went ahead and took just one and I am the happiest little thrifter now.


Since I really am getting into the whole mid century modern look for my apartment I also felt compelled to pick up this pretty danish style lamp base. Now I am on the search for a pretty teal lamp shade and all will be well.
