Cold Hard Cash

I went back to the thrift store, with cash this time, and found my vest in the same spot where I left it.  Also, the price of the pill box hat was reduced to $1.75.  I didn't get it because I still wasn't sure about it, but now that I've thought it over I might just buy it (even if it's too small for my head).  So, if the hat is still there when I go back, then it's mine!

 

$5 Minimum = Nothing

Yesterday as I was thrifting I came across a cute gray vest (not fur) which was only $2.99. Unfortunately,  I couldn't buy it because it was too cheap.  That wouldn't have been a problem for me had I been in the habit of carrying cash in my wallet.  I  had my debit card in my purse, but the store has a five dollar minimum on all credit/debit card purchases.  I spent about 45 minutes looking around for something that would increase my total purchase value to five dollars.  The only items that looked somewhat appealing was a  $4.99 H&M hat with a bent up brim, and the other was a very tiny pill box hat for $3.49.  I left the store without anything because I couldn't shape the bent hat back to its original form, and my head is just too big to wear a pill box hat.  I'm going back tomorrow with cash to buy that vest.  I hope it's still there!

Vintage Highlight: Audrey Hepburn

The next time you find yourself searching for something to wear to your job's next corporate shindig opt for a chic, simple look. Audrey Hepburn had style and grace without trying too hard. You can do the same and not spend a fortune. A basic black dress, accessorized with the right belt and shoes will turn heads when you walk into the room. Go the inexpensive route and search for items at your local vintage, consignment, or thrift shop to get this look.
