Please post yours when you have a moment! I’m going through thrift withdrawl.
I really miss thrifting. I know it's a superficial complaint especially at times like this but thrifting has always been my happy place. It is also my primary source of income at this point, which makes this pandemic twice as challenging. I love the feeling I get when a score a gorgeous handbag for a fraction of the retail cost or some crazy vintage clothing. By stepping back it gives me a chance to appreciate just how lucky I've been in the past few years.
I with you there....if you get into a routine you really miss it.
Anyone want to dig up favourite finds for something to do?

I totally understand, I started thrifting as a sort of therapy during a very difficult time in my life and it’s become my happy place. I also love the thrill of the hunt and finding a “treasure”.
I will definitely partake in this! There's only so much schoolwork I can do.
I usually re-sell most of what I thrift but there are some items that have managed to stick around. These aren’t necessarily my cheapest finds but also ones that have served me well.
I really enjoy the logo trend. It has this boisterous, flippant sort of energy that I adore. Coach ball-cap $22.99, pricier than most of my thrifted finds but I’ve wanted one of these for a while. I also managed to thrift a lilac Gucci bucket hat a few years ago ( regret selling it haha.)
I’m also fond of neon colours so this pair of Ray Bands were up my alley. I think they were also $22.99 but I can’t quite recall.

Unable to thrift, so I am digging up some of my older finds.
A few months ago I found this gorgeous fall colors Hermes “Vendanges” scarf for $6. I didn’t notice the “Hermes” at first but knew this beauty made of quality heavy silk and hand rolled edges had to come home with me. Imagine my surprise when I googled “Vendanges” and discovered it was and H scarf!!

Lovely find....scarf finds had dried up for me in the last few months. Got a Jacqmar but thats about it.
Thank you!! It depends on the store but here they actually stop putting out lighter scarves over winter and start back putting them out again in the spring. Maybe they will be out once we can shop again
I always get excited when the silk scarves come back out during the warmer months. They are one of my favourite things to find. I should post my little scarf collection.
