Finding DIY Projects at the Thrift Store

May 17, 2012

It’s easy to find things at the thrift store…if y0u know what you’re looking for and keep an open mind.  Lately, I’ve been on a diy kick (let’s see how long this lasts…) and have been thrifting a little differently.  Rather than just looking for specifics, I’ve been looking at color and prints that fancy me and then I ask myself, “how can I make this article of clothing work for me?”

Here’s a super short clip from a recent trip showing a few pieces I picked up and what I plan to do with them…

And here’s a shot of that fun, floral blazer!  Guess what though?  When we went to check out, there was no tag on the thing…they wouldn’t sell it!  Sis said she was going to go back the next day (after they repriced it)…

Was it there, Drea??  If not, no worries…it just wasn’t meant to be.  We’ll score something equally awesome (or more ‘awesomer’) next time! ; )

    Love that floral blazer! Such a shame that they wouldn’t sell it to you. Fingers crossed that it was still there.

      lol! Sometimes it’s hard to do ANYTHING besides smile and giggle when he’s in a cute mood.
