The other day Value Village had a 30% off sale on all their clothing, shoes, and jewelry, so naturally my mom and I rolled up as soon as we could after work. To some it may seem like I went a tad overboard, but in all honesty I ended putting a bunch of clothes back. I'm pretty cheap and dishing out more than $60 in one thrifting visit hurts my soul too much.
Here is my haul for the trip, hope you enjoy! I have plans for each article and accessory and I'm excited to adjust and style them to my liking! I'll try my best to make some styling or DIY posts from this haul because I think I could have a lot of fun with these basics and additions. Also expect a second-hand shopping guide and tip list soon!
This right here is one of
the pieces that I am most excited for (second only to the last of this haul). My plan is to cut this bad boy in half,
and make it a cropped sweatshirt. I've been seeing those being sold in
practically every mainstream stores, like H&M, Forever 21, Garage, TopShop, Aritzia. But those are always at least $20 and
here I got one for $2.
This top is similar to the first light blazer in that I saw it and
immediately thought of "blogger who is seemingly effortlessly always
perfectly done up." I love the simplicity of it, and the buttoned collar
at the back. It is a high quality piece that I believe will become a staple for
more minimalist/blogger or professional outfits.
I
honestly just thought this would become a lovely addition to my crop top and
tanks collection. I am always, always looking for high-neckline crop tops to
wear with my high waisted shorts, jeans, and skirts. The muted blue and simple
style makes it look like an American Apparel top (RIP by the way), but instead
of spending an arm and a leg I got the same look for $3.50.
I
am so incredibly stoked to style this zip-up sweater. The lack of a hood, plus
the white striping down the sleeves, makes it perfect for that sickening
sporty-esc look we're always going for nowadays. Can't wait to rock this with
my denim jacket and joggers.
These
jeans hold a special place in my heart, because last time I went thrifting I
bought a pair of H&M jeans that looked identical to these in their size 2. I
didn't bother trying them on because I assumed I would be a size 2 and the
lineup for the change rooms was massive. However, when I got home and they were
way too small! So I sadly had to donate them back to Value Village. Anyone who
thrifts avidly knows this sad, sad feeling. But this time I tried these bad
boys on and they fit perfectly! Now I finally have a pair of acid wash jeans in
my closet, and I'll be able to mix up simple outfits with them on.
Simple,
black, high-waisted jeans that are soft and comfortable. Need I say more?
This
dress is is exactly what I've been looking for, for quite some time. It goes
down to my knees, and is nice and tight all the way down. The material is
elastic-y and completely comfortable. Wearing this with anything from sandals
in the summer to tights and boots in the winter will be fun.
Jewellery
All of these necklaces are chokers and I am so pumped to be bulking up my choker collection like this. I have quite the collection now- maybe I should do a post on them all? The two necklaces with the clasps are debatably not even meant to be necklaces, but they were giving me Jenn Im vibes and I couldn't resist. The star choker is such a simple piece but really changes an outfit, and the simple silver chain I figured would be great for layering.
Shoes
These, right here, are what I'm most excited for with this entire haul. These boots not only fit me perfectly, but are also incredibly comfortable, snug around my ankles (an issue I usually have problems with ankle boots), add just the right amount of edge to an outfit, and are perfect for stomping around campus in. I know for a fact that these are going to be one of my Fall to Winter staples.
