Thrift Style: Well, Label Me Frugal

It's a rare occurrence. But one fateful day it just may happen to you. The stars may perfectly align and you might find your way...to thrifted designer clothing.

It's true that some lucky thrifters may find their labels for less with far more ease than others. But, me? Generally, I fall into that dreaded "others" category. 

Not only do I have to luck into lovely designer wares, but I have to pray that they're in my size, a curvy XL. Today, however, was my time to shine. 

Dont' you love this creamy white shirt with ruffle detail?

 $4.50 from 2nd Ave. 
The designer?

And that lovely gray and black print skirt? That's a...

...for $6. I estimate this find alone to be worth upwards of $60. And that  Lauren shirt was likely $50 or more at retail cost.

Who scored some thrifted labels? I scored some thrifted labels!

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Shirt: $4.50
Calvin Klein Skirt: $6
Finding designer labels...in my size...at the thrift: Priceless.

Happy 2nd Blogiversary to Me!

I cannot believe that two years ago today marks the very beginning of Let's Go Thrifting!      

Ya know, I was tempted to call this remarkably special event a birthday. But, really it's an anniversary. It truly is a partnership---a union between my passion for secondhand wares and my passion for blogging. And it's a partnership between me, the blogger, and all of you wonderful readers. Together we have created an online thrift community and I love you all for that, more than you know.

I'd like to thank you all so much for reading, sharing, commenting, for sponsoring me, for shopping from my Etsy store and for thrifting your little hearts out.
