Thrifted Favorites: Butter Yellow and Leopard Print!

Since about a year ago, I've been searching for the perfect vintage flight bag. I found a tan one and a blue one back then, but I really wanted a buttery yellow version!

My fruitful thrifting on Thursday produced just the ticket, as well as another thing I've had on my list: leopard print flats!

Vintage Travel Bag, Goodwill Outlet ($2); Leopard Print Flats, Love of Jesus ($3)

I am so in love with these flats, too! They remind me of these Stubbs and Wootton ones that are beautiful but pricey :)

The hubby and I are headed back to the thrifts today, in hopes of finding the last few Christmas gifts to bring to Florida and a 'guy find' for next Friday's post! (He hasn't had much thrifting luck lately, I'm afraid!)

Always,

My Thrifting Outfit: Mad Plaid

I had a great day off yesterday, thrifting and cleaning and packing for Thanksgiving break! I can't believe it's so close!

Here's what I wore to the thrifts:


Plaid Shirt, Target; Lacoste Sweater, Goodwill Outlet; Jeans, Goodwill; Moccasins, Target; Purse, Love of Jesus; Bead Necklace, Goodwill Outlet

Such a super-comfy outfit for thrifting and for the perfect weather :)
And, I found some great things thrifting too! It seems that Thursdays are less crowded and crazy than Saturdays after all :)

Always,
Amanda

Hello, Kitty

I dug through some more old photos on my camera, and I found this little guy I got at Goodwill Outlet a couple months ago:

Lillian Vernon Kitty Pillow, Goodwill Outlet

I am quite scared of cats, to be honest! Something about their really sharp claws...

But this guy is completely harmless, so he's okay with me! I just have a soft spot for unique pillows :)

Anyway...I am off work today and I'm heading to the thrift stores!!! Here's to hoping Thursdays at Goodwill Outlet are less chaotic than Saturdays :) One can only hope!

Always,
Amanda

The Cubs

I have to admit, I dug deep down into my archives of photos to find something to show you all today! I have just not had much luck at the thrifts in weeks!

I had almost forgotten about a little 50 cent gem I picked up at an estate sale in August:

Vintage Cubs Scouts Sterling Ring, Estate Sale (50 cents)

I was excited to find this because my little brother was in cub scouts (he actually is an Eagle Scout, the highest Boy Scout achievement, and so is the hubby!). 

For only 50 cents, this sterling cutie was mine!! I love finding things like these at estate sales. I wonder how many years the owner had it?

Have a great Wednesday! I have off work tomorrow, and you know what that means!!! Thrift time :)

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: A Biker Jacket and Sunshine

Sunday was super sunny and beautiful :) If the hubby would've been off work, we might've gone on a picnic! Instead, I decided to spend part of the day looking around West End Antiques for Christmas presents (and was partially successful).

So really, this was my antiquing outfit:

Biker Jacket, F21; Floral Rayon Shirt, Goodwill; Jeans, Goodwill; Leather Backpack, Love of Jesus; Moccasins, Target; Scarf, Target; Ray Bans, Goodwill in Pensacola

I just love my new jacket from Forever 21! It was only about twenty bucks, and I've been looking for a jacket like this for a long time. The funny thing is that I had to wait in line at F21 for about 40 minutes for it, because it was so busy!

I picked up a couple presents there, too, but maybe next time I'll just shop online :) Have you all started Christmas shopping yet? If you haven't already, check out the Another's Treasure Tumblr page for etsy gift ideas!

Black Leather + Exposed Zippers

While I came home mostly empty-handed from the thrifts on Saturday, the one find I had was pretty major!

Apparently, a stylish lady had just donated her purse collection to Love of Jesus Thrift right before I got there! There were some vintage Coach purses,  a Matt & Nat purse, and some Vera Bradley, but this beauty stood out:


Leather Backpack, Love of Jesus ($5)

It's such a well-made bag, with thick, quality leather and a tough vibe. The best part is that it's just the right size to carry as an everyday bag- not huge, but large enough to fit pretty much anything you might need.

I can't seem to find a brand anywhere on it though! Have you seen one similar?

Always,
Amanda

My Thrifting Outfit: Prepster

Yesterday, I felt a bit like a prep school student. I think it was the plaid wool sweater that I thrifted a couple months back before it cooled down enough to wear it!


Ray Bans, Goodwill in Pensacola; Shirt, Goodwill; Sweater, Goodwill; Jeans, Goodwill; Moccasins, Target; Vintage Dooney & Bourke Purse, Goodwill; Necklace, Busch Gardens

 Also, I think this is my new favorite shirt! It has great details that you can't see here- a beaded neckline, a bow, and ruched short sleeves. I'm sure it'll get tons of wear in the spring and summer :)

I didn't find a lot yesterday, but I did get a really, really great black leather backpack for five bucks!

Always,
Amanda
