Thrift Haul

I don't know what came over me, but the other week I suddenly felt this overwhelming desire to go up to my local Salvos store and go thrifting. I didn't set myself high expectations but that was probably a good thing because I ended being really impressed with not just the stuff I picked up, but the general array of clothes in the shop. Of course once I started I didn't just stop there, I ended up going to another three stores in my local area, though I think the first one I ventured to is my favourite. I picked up a few bargains so I wanted to share them with you. 

I think thrifting is my new favourite shopping experience. I've been trying to go to the full priced stores lately to find something new to wear and nothing has really impressed me and especially not for some of the prices they charge. Most bigger chain stores just all stock the same stuff, and usually once I've seen what they've got at the front of the store I know I won't like the rest. Thrift stores however are places of endless possibilities. There is such an variety of clothing, every kind of style and trend you can imagine will likely be there. I also tend to have some really specific items in mind that I'm hoping to find when I go shopping, and while almost every time I hit the normal chain stores I never find anything on my mental list, I think I found pretty much everything when I walked into the first thrift store. Not to mention how damn cheap you get everything for - I am converted.
