Thrift Haul // Dresses and Skirts That Flatter

Visiting a new thrift store is always so exciting. That is why I kind of lost my mind in Park Ave Thrift Fayetteville location. It's a newish store with a great mix of vintage and trendy.  I ended up spending $70 in this thrift haul. I had a 50% off coupon which also contributed to the madness. There were a lot of good deals and some thrift store overpriced stuff but I still came out ahead considering the prices were still better than retail. 

This price was super insane. The half off price was less insane but the style was unique and different from what I'm used to. I splurged.

A vintage dress with gold trim and accordion pleats. The sleeves need a little surgery but otherwise it's a gem.

This dress reminds me of the too small dress that I altered. It has those same slanted patch pockets and close fit. When the ladies at the thrift store mirror saw it on me, they all agreed it was a keeper even though it was not included in the 50% off sale. 

Polka dot find #2 is hot pink with a great cut. It's high waist and panels that are figure flattering.

Apparently I was feeling greens and blues in this thrift trip because besides finding lots of  items with those colors, I found two skirts that have an interesting pattern mix of the colors. The straight skirt is vintage poly knit with green threads woven into blue skirt.

The second skirt has a pale mix of green and blue in a tropical palm print. This one always received approval at "the mirror".

These BCBG Max Azria boots were more than I would normally pay for thrift but they are in really good condition. I love western style boots. I am still not sure about the cow print. I'm wondering if I can dye them brown to make it more of a classic style.

The peep heel with bow is really unique. The leather is buttery soft on these and the old school triangle heel makes them wearable for everyday.

This is an easy summer dress. I liked the colors and the button front. It's much more figure flattering on my body than it is on the mannequin. 

This is one of three crop tops I brought home with me. It criss cross ties and wraps in the front or maybe it's a wrap front. I'm not sure but I like the bold print.

Fun summer crop top. That is all.

I totally flaked on this one. This top is certainly not worth $7.57. I assumed the price was the same as the other crop top. It was not.

The senior thriftanista at the "try on mirror" gave me all kinds of looks for this and flat out called it unflattering. I bought it anyway. It's a little big but I was deeply feeling the fruit embroidery. I'm thinking a pencil skirt or turning the skirt into a top somehow.

I'm shorts deficient and these are from Talbots. I'm a big fan of thrift store Talbots. The clothes are well made and the the cut of their clothes work with my body. The shorts are perfect for easy throw on dressing. I also like the drawstring waist and large button closure.
