I Went Thrifting Today and It Was A Success

Hello.

I don't go thrifting often so today was a delight because not only did I have time to go, but the trip was a success.

I purchased 3 items:

ivory shorts (Sonoma)
tan jacket (still had tags on it-ATL)
red/black/white plaid shirt (beachlunchlounge)

I thought the plaid shirt was navy in the store lighting but at home I realize it's actually black. Oops, but I like it so I'll keep it for the season.

#1 and #2 - Thrifted Outfits
How I plan to wear these new to me pieces as soon as it's shorts season.

#3 to #5 - WIW Today
A bonus here's what I wore thrifting today. I call this my spring hoodie because of the floral print on the back.

Thanks for looking!

Oh, you scored! Love the sweatshirt, too. I think I will try a plaid shirt this spring, too. It looks so nice with a cream bottom.

Nice haul! I like the plaid shirt with the shorts -- punchy!

Active Member

Nice finds! I like the jacket especially. I have made that black/navy mistake countless times.

Dee

Oh well done, glad it was a success. Love the combinations you have planned. Haha, sometimes navy and black can be difficult to distinguish. Plaid top looks great whatever the colour.

We can pretend the black in the plaid is navy

Fab thrifted stash! The plaid shirt is great with the shorts. Punchy, as Suz said.

And looking super cute as always, Lisa! That hoodie is a great colour with your salty hair, and BALANCE is one of my favourite words.

I love getting good scores thrifting. It doesn’t happen to me much because I am often looking for something very specific.
Love the outfit you wore. Maybe I need olive sneakers to go with my new olive bag! But I already have olive sandals and olive snakeskin boots, lol, so that’s probably enough!

Lisa

Irina - Yay, we shall be plaid shirt sisters. I am a big fan of plaid shirts and own quite a few. Thanks for looking!

Suz - I can see plaid being a go to pattern for me in the warmer months. Thanks for looking!

Cookie - I definitely find it hard to tell the difference between black and navy. It's not the first time I've made this mistake! Thanks for looking!

Dee - I'm excited to wear these combinations once the weather warms up. Thanks for looking!

Angie - I often find it hard to tell the difference between black and navy, especially when it's a print! I'm excited to try some shorts outfits without graphic tees to add more variety for summer. *high five for balance* It's not always easy to have balance in life, but it is important to always keep in mind to try.

Jenni NZ - I vote olive sneakers to round out your olive capsule. Thanks for looking!

Jaime

Very exciting to read went thrifting today in your title Lisa. I am super impressed that you have already photographed and styled your new finds too! Potential outfits look great and the light hoodie looks fab - I like the bag with it too.

SarahD8

Woohoo, fun scores! I love it when a whole "mini capsule" shows up all at once like that! Great sweatshirt too -- must be good luck!

Star

Nice finds! Jacket is fab and going to be versatile. I love it when I find items still with tags in the thrift shop. Plaid shirt is very cool, as are the shorts, and perfect together.

Jaime - You have an excellent eye for thrifted pieces, I thought of you when I was out shopping. I always try to shop with outfits in mind, it helps me prevent wardrobe orphans. Thanks for looking!

SarahD8 - I also enjoy when I can create a capsule while shopping, it really helps me avoid wardrobe orphans. Thanks for looking!

Star - I agree, I think the jacket will be very versatile with my wardrobe. And it is fun to find something with the tags still on it. Thanks for looking!

Ket

Love your outfit; your green bag and shoes are so good. Thrifting was a very successful trip! I can’t wait to see your summer plaid and cream outfit in motion and the jacket is fantastic for you!

Ket - I'm eager for the weather to warm up so I can wear these new outfits. Thanks for the kind words and for looking!
