Latest Thrift And Resale Finds
So apart from living in the lab doing research, my spare time has gone to shopping for unique and cute finds. Now that I have the extra money, I’ve been developing my wardrobe into something I really want, and not something I have just because it’s cheap at Kmart or Target. With thrift and resale shopping, it’s more involved, and you have to do more scouting to find what you want, and when you do find something, it becomes more valuable. So, here are my latest finds…they probably aren’t the best pictures of these clothes, but I didn’t want to take a picture of me in the clothing ;p
First is a top….looks 80s, I got from a cute small resale shop in Midtown Det. I plan on wearing it with a purple tight skirt I also got from the same shop.
Up next is an Asian inspired coat from a vintage shop in Hamtramck. Then a yellow top that I got at a resale shop. I plan on wearing it to a party with the green skirt I got from a separate thrift shop. Then a sleeveless striped shirt that can go with anything.
My next favorite find is from a spectacular vintage shop in Det. This is a Ralph Lauren shirt for $30…which I typically don’t wear buttoned up, but instead wear it open with a white tank top underneath. Then there’s a red jacket with patches on it. It’s definitely not summer material, but I can’t wait to wear it in fall/winter. Then there’s an 80s jacket with shoulder pads that I got. I like it because of the black and white plaid print, plus it’s really comfortable to wear.
The next jacket will be very fun to wear in public and get people’s reaction lol. It’s a late 80s to early 90s jacket that was actually popular at one point. The sleeveless shirt is unexplainable, I pretty much only got it because of the ridiculous quote and the fact that it will be a conversation piece. The last two skirts I got from salvation army in Ann Arbor which I plan to wear with black tights under. They are pretty short skirts so I wouldn’t feel comfortable without tights on ;p
So those are the finds so far…well some of them. Many of my other finds are less interesting, just t-shirts with some funny sayings and more practical clothing. I plan on making a separate post for the shoes and accessories which, I think, are somewhat nicer than the clothes. Oh and another upcoming post will be about the goth night I’m going to, which we will dress gothish and go to a popular goth club. I plan on making a gothic tutu to go with my outfit and will have plenty of pictures to show on the process of making it. Until then, toodles
