Like a lot of you, I LOVE thrifting! I have been thrifting for about 6 years now - it is sort of my addiction. I love never knowing what you will find and the savings. I thought it would be fun to share with you some items I have found either that week or some favorites I have found in the past. This post is a combo of the two. The Floral coat, Ralph Lauren coat, and sweater were found earlier this week. The skirt, mug, and squirrel/nut container were found on past thrifting excursions.

Floral coat - I absolutely adore this piece. When I initially saw this coat on the rack I thought it was a bit over the top, but I had to try it on. It fit me perfectly and I fell in love. It makes quite the statement. I can't wait for it to get warmer so that I can wear it. I also have a future wardrobe post with me wearing it - so stay tuned!

Patterned sweater - I found this sweater with the floral jacket - I guess I was in a colorful mood that day. This sweater is so comfy and extra large so it goes well with jeans or leggings.

White Skirt - I found this piece awhile back. I love the squared pattern. I like to let this piece stand by itself so I typically pair it with a solid top and tights.

Ralph Lauren jacket - I lucked out completely on this one. It still had the tags on it and I bought it for $3! I had been looking for a jacket with elbow pads for awhile so when I saw it I had to snatch it up. It looks a bit large on the hanger but fits well.

Mug & Squirrel/nut container - These are just some fun finds I found in the past for home decor. I love them!

  1. Fabulous finds, I feel like I either don't have the thrifting talent or I always just miss the gems at the thrift stores I've been to, maybe both. I love the white skirt and blazer but my heart is drawn to the squirrel and nut container! That is priceless, I'd use it as a cookie jar.

    1. I think it takes a bit of time to get the hang of it - sometimes you also really have to dig for items. When I go thrifting I do my "rounds" and hit up 3 or more stores. The squirrel and nut container is also my favorite find possibly ever for home decor stuff. It is so cute - I still haven't put anything inside it yet.

  3. My old roommate found a similar nut/squirrel container once at Goodwill!

    The skirt might be my favorite!

    1. Awesome. I have found a few more of the squirrel/nut containers as well, my uncle actually collects them, but this one is my favorite - it's more girly than the others. :]
