Now I know that thrift stores have gotten really popular in the last year or so, but I have actually been a fan of thrift stores for quite some time. What's not to love about gently used clothing that is a fraction of its original price. Thrift stores also offer a very eclectic assortment of clothes and accessories. You can find items from all seasons, different decades, or even some of the new current trends. You never know what awesome piece you will acquire after visiting a thrift store. They are like treasure troves. Most of all I love that thrift stores offer items that are not currently sold in stores, thus it is less likely that someone else will be caught wearing your piece (which I HATE). Thrift stores make me feel as if I can really express myself through fashion without commercial restrictions.
The shirt that I am wearing was bought at a thrift store. I like this shirt because it goes well with my "grown 'n sexy" transition and it also has this lovely blue-green color that is very bright and sassy. I decided that I must buy this shirt when I saw that the shirt featured two different blue and black patterns. There is the striped pattern throughout most of the shirt except for the collar and cuffs, which feature a funky pattern.
Accessories: The perfect blue-green heels were just items pulled out of my closet (they did NOT come from the thrift store).
