Thrift Store Treasures

Thrift stores are a great place to find those one of a kind items that no one else has. I love going there for accessories like belts, purses and shoes. Last time I was there I saw a Gucci bag for like 5 bucks! Anyway, I always forget that they only take cash, so every time I happen to stop by I only have like $10 or $20 on me. Believe me, I could spend $100 in there, but for under 20 bucks you can get an awesome collection of neat stuff. There’s a huge thrift store in San Diego called Amvets, they have an awesome selection and on Wednesdays it’s 50% off everything (except those items with a green tag). No matter where you live, there should be a thrift store near you. Definitely check it out for retro vintage items, you never know what you might find. See what I got on my last two trips below…

My trip this past Wednesday

These boots were originally $7.95, but I got them half off! So like 4 bucks for an awesome pair of boots and three people stopped me to tell me how cute they are while I was trying them on. Had to get them.

I’m a sucker for belts when it comes to thrift stores. They are so cheap and they always have the most unique belts I have ever seen. Some of them are worn, but I kind of like my belts a little beat up. Got this one for $1.95.

I love the gaudy buckle on this one. I’m a huge fan of pairing jeans, a simple tee and a flashy belt, so I had to get it. $1.95 baby!

My first trip to Amvets a couple weeks ago…

I only had 20 bucks on my first trip and I think I did pretty good. I ended up spending $19.68 and couldn’t get everything I wanted, but I’m definitely happy with what I got! The black leather handbag was only like $4 bucks and I think the shirt was $3. I love the shirt, very loose and has a really cute print on it.

When I saw this belt I had to get it. Love the gold details and at $5.95 it took up quite a bit of my $20, but so worth it.

Can you believe I found these at a thrift store? Talk about being right on the money, these strapped wedges are so in right now, I couldn’t believe when I saw them sitting there and hello! $3.95!!!
