Hello friends! Happy January 2021. I feel that surviving and thriving for the first half of winter is a significant accomplishment. Presently the province of Ontario has a lockdown, which means that thrift stores are closed...ack!! Do you need a thrift haul fix?
Allow me to present a virtual fix.
Your shopping cart awaits...
I love Christmas, and I also love the colour red. So it's no secret that my December warddrobe consists heavily of red, plaid and Christmas sweaters. It was a happy day when I found this red blouse. It has a sassy wide collar, and I can wear it tucked in as a blouse, or untucked as a tunic. Notice the excellent reminder post-its notes on my cell phone (I belong to Ludites Anonymous, now you know)
Cardigan #1
Oooh! Shiny velour!! This J Crew top has become a year round staple for me. I love it!! Thank you thrifting gods!!
Cardigan #2!! Vintage 80's goodness!!
I still haven't worn this cardi yet...it's smallish on me, so my options are to wait until the weather warms up so that I can put it over a sleeveless top or camisole.
This necklace has become a favorite. Made of semi-precious stones, I layer it with other necklaces, or by itself. I enjoy a feeling of power and contentment when I am wearing things like this.
Thank you, thank you to the grandma who gave this blouse up! I wear it regularly!! I figure it's from the early '90s
You'll notice I took great care to show pictures of the price tags. I likely purchased these items at 50% off sale at Value Village. There is nothing like the sale-induced, intoxication of quality vintage for cheap!!!
Did I mention that I like red? I like to pair red with burgundy and greens...this Italian blazer is maroon in regular light. I have worn it over my excellent J Crew velour top.
Random outfit pose. Blazer is thrifted. You'll notice another post-it (tee hee)
Happy thrifting ya'll!!
Well done for surviving and thriving for the first half of Winter! Sorry to hear your thrift stores are closed. Ours were closed for a while too but re-opened mid December. Needless to say, I have had regular thrifting fixes since then! Hopefully, your lockdown ends soon. Do stay safe, my blogging friend xxx
ReplyDeleteOh my, didn't you do well? I particularly love the red blouse/tunic, the velours top (so luscious), the 80s cardigan and that amazing necklace!
Thank you Ann! I get a lot of inspiration from your outfits..you are always impeccably outfitted with a necklace, a pin or three and a scarf. I certainly love my jewelery!!
DeleteLovely to see you! Our charity shops have been closed for a month now and will be for the foreseeable future.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever tried something on in a charity shop, I just grab and buy! Love the beads and the velvet top! xxx
Thank you Vix! I'm partial to velvet and beads....a woman can never have too much of either :)
ReplyDeleteAlways a joy when you pop in with a post.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been in a thrift shop since around Feb '20. Still haven't run out of clothes, but I am so bored.
The April Cornel cardie is fab.
Tee hee! I reckon your hoard of clothing and purses will allow you to wear a different outfit every day...for another year yet! I haven't been to a thrift store since Dec 2020. I was lucky enough to find some oversized parkas and a reflective vest for outdoor work. I"m looking forward to seeing more of your delicious recipies and salivating over your wardrobe.
