Thrift Store Finds

I have always loved shopping. SERIOUSLY loved shopping! My mom always taught me that it is better to have a few key pieces that might be a little pricey like a structured blazer, a good pair of jeans, a nice blouse, and a sensible pair of shoes. It is better to have something that may work with everything, than having 98347883979834 crop tops from Forever 21.
 (Read "Aero Makeover and My First Crop Top later this week)

If you are a fan of pricier clothes, but don't want to pay the price, try thrifting. Some of the best items are at thrift stores.
This past weekend I went to Act 2 Consignment in Huntsville. They were super nice people, and I loved all they had. Jewelry, shoes, and prom dresses. Dress clothes, casual and designer purses.

Here is all that I scored:

Ann Taylor Loft Blazer Normal Price: $89.00-$178.00
Act 2: At least half off
 Express Dress Normal Price: $59.60
Act 2: more than half off
7 For All Mankind Jeans normal price: $189.00
Act 2: Around $40.00

Conclusion: This thrift trip rocked! -The Ann Taylor blazer is incredible. I can wear it with casual jeans to dress it down, and my cropped dress pants.
-Polka dot dress great for wearing over leggings.
- 7 for all Mankind skinny jeans... well everything goes with these, and a pair of jeans fit me:)

After this great trip I decided to Google upscale thrift stores around the country out of curiosity.
