Thrift Chic

One of the coolest experiences for a true style icon.... is the thrill of the hunt.  Some call it "thrifting", where you visit thrift stores, such as Salvation Army, Sunshine, Jewish Women's Council, etc. and browse until you SCORE!  The art of scoring, simply means you have found at least one.... or if you're lucky, a few fantastic items that will enhance your style.

I love thrifting.  It's the one time when price is not a concern.....it's usually a steal!  To find designer clothing or very unique pieces is like discovering pirate treasure.

If you love vintage clothing, thrift stores are usually the best place to start.  Just remember to have patience.  Once you find that precious score, you'll be hooked. It can be a shopper's paradise!

My Latest Score:
Gold Necklace, Anne Klein
