Thrift Store finds

Society have embedded in our minds that the though of Thrift stores should be associated with people that are poor, and that if you lead an average life, were you're not missing money but wish you had more, you shouldn't be going really be going here to buy your clothes. We all know that within thrift stores are often treasures. I often hear people telling me that their is designer brands and vintage items that honestly, only the wealthy can afford without making a choice to pay rent. But where are all these items? I'm not the patient person in the world which is why I often prefer going to a mall as everything is organized. I want a navy blue sweater, well I go to the sweater section where everything is divided by size and color. Easy peasy. And honestly, every time I go, I never really find much.

This all changed last night! I was on the hunt for beads for a necklace I have in mind that I wanted to make. On my way to the craft store, I decided to stop at the Thrift store to see if they had some for a lower price. Well, within 45 minutes, I found Guess jeans, Valentino Jeans (didn't buy them cause they didn't exactly flatter me, but still Valentino), a Monsac Original purse and two tweed floral-patterned Oscar De La Renta travel bags.

Honestly, I like designer brands; I like the quality of their products, but I don't like the price tag and I prefer paying my rent. So these finds have lite a fire inside of me to see what else I can find in the future. Oh yes, and I did end up finding what I needed to make an awesome necklace!!

I'm still new at this adventure, but what has been your biggest find at a thrift store or any tips to share?
