Thrifting Frenzy

This week, my thrifting adventures took a different turn.

I blame Pinterest....

I saw this pin and had to click on the link.  This dress is from Old Navy.  I put it in my cart as fast as my mouse could click.  It should be in my hands in 5 to 7 business days.

But then I went back to that blog and read further.  The dress pictured is actually vintage.  She found that beauty at a thrift store for $10, and it dates to the late 1930's.

I was stunned.  And a tad jealous.  What a find!

I never look at the dress section at any thrift store.

Think reading that changed my mind?

You bet.  So that inspired a new focus this week when I hit up my favorite shops.

And while my thrifted dresses are not as fabulous, I have a vision for these babies.....

$5.98

$4.98

After shoulder pad removal (bleeeecchhh) and new hemlines, my goal is to sport them on a "what I wore" post in the near future.

They both have pockets.

And can't you see them with great belts?

Speaking of belts......

$1.00

Everyone needs a random pop of gold once in a while.

Or vintage aprons (that I just can't resist)........

$2.98 each

For all your domestic escapades.

My first domestic escapade today?  A new pork roast recipe.

And then maybe I'll deal with those shoulder pads.  Who wants em?
