Mind you, this last ten years, the fashion market has been inundated with cheap clothes (ghastly ones as well) and this is what you mainly see now in charity shops! But hope springs eternal!

It is what keeps us all going back....eternal hope!

I've found lots of great things since I started thrifting, and I'll try to post some of them here.

Beautiful bag! I got my Mom a Coach bag at a garage sale a few weeks ago that will be one of her Mother's Day gifts!

I was really happy with my $10 Marni also!! With BE...you just have to be consistent. Stop in every now and again.

I want it ... but not quite that shape ... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2002.jpg It's a skirt on Etsy that has also been showin' up round the Intrawebz ... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2003.jpg I actually was pretty sure I had all the material I would need http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2004.jpg So I pulled stuff out http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2005.jpg Remember when Sephora used to package things beautifully when you bought for them? Good Times! I was thinking about using the blue grey material for the light gray in R2D2 ... but it wasn't light enough. So I tried to bleach it. A bit of bleach, water and set out in the sun ... and it turned .... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2009.jpg Pink? .......... not that helpful actuallllyyy http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2010.jpg Getting started .... I just looked at the pictures. I knew I wanted it longer and to make it more fitted and not an giant elastic waist band gathered http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2033.jpg I think it's kinda more interesting this way ... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2031.jpg Gonzo helped. He jumped down off a table onto a cutting board and almost impaled himself on my razor cutter. He jumped up when I was trying to put in the zipper. Joy. Joy. He wanted to pierce his nose in the running machine. Hubs at one point said, "Um Gonzo is trying to eat needles. He's going thru this holder trying to grab the sharp end of the pins." http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2014.jpg "Yes, he's hardcore. He's Punk Rock Siamese Sewing Cat Assistant." I love the part where you realize you have the Perfect Shoes ... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2026.jpg From F21, but bought at Salvation Army for $1.50 ... All the material ... thrifted or bought at a deep discount some time in the past ... I like how the black fabric glows ... since it is his main eyeball ... and I like that my red is velvet ... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2016.jpg Side view http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2019.jpg Back .. not sure how I took this picture and I am sure I could never repeat it ... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2039.jpg Old red metal zipper bought for 10 cents at some thrift or another ... sewn on the outside cause ... I mean ... you need more weirdness with a skirt like this ... http://i397.photobucket.com/albums/p...rk/R2D2040.jpg And some details in the back ... I like it ... R2D2 is the coolest cutest thing in the entire Star Wars series. I had a huge crush on him but of course he only had an eye for ... CP30 ...

That skirt looks like a designer piece you would buy in a store. NICE JOB!!!! I love it :) I would wear it.

This makes noise when you move. I like it when people know I am coming! http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/...k/1f383887.jpg http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/...k/663c1155.jpg Marni skirt. Yes. It is new with tags of $665. Fits like a dream! http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/...k/eafb42e6.jpg http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/...k/82c22200.jpg Prada dress. Can't tell much from the picture, but it is a perfect black dress. Very flattering at the top with a low scoop and the skinny straps. http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/...k/d9f1b936.jpg Shocking pink/maybe it is red, soft as butter....Linda Allard/Ellen Tracy jacket http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/...k/bf2faa6b.jpg Piazza Sempione skirt from Buffalo Exchange. It was $24, but they sold it fo $12 because it had a litle stain on it. I was actually worried about this stain as it looked pretty set in...but still did not let it deter me. The dry cleaners were able to remove the stain and I have the most gorgeous circle skirt EVER! http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/...k/0eea8421.jpg And last but not least...a few years ago I was a BE and chit-chatted with a girl who had just sold some stuff. In her bag was this bright crochet sweater and I told her that I was surprised theyhad not purchased it as it was super cute. So...she gave it to me!! I had never worn it, but last week bought this white James Perse t-shirt dress there in trade and it is PERFECT to wear under the sweater! http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/...k/0a9c5423.jpg http://i1246.photobucket.com/albums/...k/cdb56d21.jpg

I will be forever jealous of your Marni skirt. Nice haul!

Hi and welcome to our fun thread! I love the quality of Michael Kors bags. Nice score :)

I found these amazing Rock and Republic jeans for $5 at SA today. They are perfect but a bit small so they will go in my Buffalo Exchange pile. I wish they would fit :(



They look like they have never been worn

I found this Ralph Lauren silk scarf. I paid $3 for it and I just love it!

Hey look look look at me. I'm wearing a skirt MADE OF BRAS! See? See how my skirt is made out of bras!?

Later. I'll show you my gown made outta ties.
