Thrift Store Magic!

[The_9th_Doctors_Rose]

I don't have many clothes but mostly all of the ones I have came from Goodwill..

I found a beautiful shirt that looks like denim but its really thin and flow-y perfect for summer...it has strings on the sleeves and through the top of the chest, it was like 4 dollars and its a Fashion Bug shirt so its a good brand. I also got a beautiful black and white shirt for 4 dollars...very dressy (I'll upload a pic later) Cato brand ^_^.

Its so hard to find clothes bc I am a big girl. sad

I found a brand new hot topic with the tags still on Nightmare Before Christmas dress, it was very adorable, for 2 dollars for my best friend's daughter.... that one made me really happy!

Edit:
Here is the picture.

This was taken on my birthday. From left to right:

The best thing I ever found at a thrift store (in this case, Goodwill) was a floor-length deep-magenta dress with lacy black flower pattern over it. It's absolutely gorgeous and looks like something that came out of the Titanic movie. =) I'm a sucker for beautiful dresses, and naturally this one was a steal. whee
In my opinion, consignment/thrift stores can have a lot of wonderful clothing depending on what kind of people live in the area. If you've got a community of rich folks nearby who donate a bunch of clothing they're sick of or have never worn, you're in luck. surprised

OMG I want to see that dress now!

The Goodwill nearest where I live is kind of the depository for the area. That means there's a lot of variety, and a better chance of finding clothing in my size that's also in good condition.

Shoes, however, I only ever buy new. You can disinfect shoes, but the wear pattern is different for every person, so it's not worth it.

Long overdue, but here it is. ^^

Would you girls believe me if I got an entire outfit for under $10 from two thrift stores? Dress and shoes from Salvation army and a pull over black nylon type thing from another thrift store I don't remember the name of. Though I added black lace to the bottom of the second layer of the skirt (it has like a fuzzy layer then another layer that's not fuzzy if that makes sense underneath the fuzzy one) and cut the fabric of the nylon pull over and snipped where the fabric was connected so it was more of a jacket type thing, cut the iron cross on the "belt" of the dress and took the chains off then sewed the chain links together in the middle and added a little gold rose pin so it would show and super glued the iron cross to a black headband. The shoes are a pair of really cute shiny pointed toe heels that aren't that big, maybe and inch or so. I did this all at Girl Scout camp two weeks ago as well fyi. XD

I love thrift store shopping. ^^ I get mostly skirts and scarves.
My favorite thing that I've gotten from a thrift store is my gothic lolita-esque vintage skirt. It's got beautiful double lace trim and it's 2 tiered. I think it was one of those spanish dancing skirts because when I twirl really fast in it, you can see my undies like really bad.. xD



The second is my other favorite. Vintage navy polka-dot skirt.*0* Now that I think about it, I got the shirt from thrift store, too. xD but it's just a baggy sleep shirt.



I got all these on one of the one dollar days at Goodwill. :B & Sorry for the crappy pic quality and messy room background. lol

In my city there's a store called Value Village. Over the years I have found some really great things.
At one point, about 90% of my wardrobe was from there.
It's really great for Halloween too, because they get in the holiday merch, and they set out a bunch of clothes that could be used for costumes.
Best thing I've found there so far though, would be my vests. They are both lovely, and in great condition.
One of them I'm planning to use for a steampunk outfit, and the other I wear almost daily, because it goes with so much.
It fits my shape almost perfectly, and it really compliments my body.

What's the best item of clothing or accessory you've ever found at a thrift store?

For me right now it's my stretch boot-cut Levi's jeans ($5! YEAH BABY!) and a heavily-beaded purse (also $5).

I love Goodwill even if I have to rummage around to find what I want. The Salvation Army store is better organized, but the prices are higher so I don;t go there as often.

The best thing I have ever gotten from a thrift store is this pair of jeans that hit right at my ankle. All jeans now a days are meant for people taller than my 5 foot 2 inch height. I have long legs, but the jeans won't fit right. The pair was only about 4 dollars.
