Thrift Thoughts # 1

Have you ever seen an item that you liked so much but couldn't afford to get it?

Well I do all the time and what I do is save the image on a folder I call

"Thrift Thoughts"

They are items I wish to find while thrifting or going to vintage shops

I often do find these items but of course they are not the same, but they are very close to

want I wanted and cheaper :)

Here are my thrift thoughts for the week

I would like to find these slipper style shoes for walking around my home

I like the shape of them

Love this

This velvet cape is a dream

Carven sweater for $1,130!
