Buy the Bag

Last Saturday I took off to Queens to share in Housing Works much talked about Buy the Bag event.  After a minor address mix up and an unneeded tour of Queens I finally made it to the warehouse where the buying frenzy was held.  For those of you who are unfamiliar, Buy the Bag is a thrifting event sponsored by Housing Works where attendees can purchase clothing and accessories by the bag,  priced at $25 per bag load.  I was able to walk away with some cool stuff but will say that it was quite the experience. I walked in to the warehouse only to see swarms of people and clothing just about everywhere  but the ceiling.  With only about hour to do my shopping I had no time to take in the crazy scene.  I jumped in  thrifter mode and went sailing for some wardrobe treasures.  Click inside to see what  I picked up .

Thrifterholic

Like most of you thrifting fiens,  I often find myself spending an eternity in cramped aisles of thrift shops buried under mountains of clothing hoping to find wardrobe treasures. So much so that I‘ve diagnosed myself as a thrifterholic. That’s right I’m a thrifterholic and this lady right here is not ashamed to admit it.  I am unashamed in my admission partly because I’ve walked away with some of the most amazing pieces on my thrifting binges. They’ve mainly been blazers but they are great staples none the less. 

There is nothing like walking into a thrift store and finding “It”. “It” may be that little black dress you’ve been searching ages for or that trendsetting piece that you absolutely refuse to drop a whole paycheck on. Hmm cuz rent is to damn high. (insert laughter here) Whatever “it” is you can bet you’ll be hooked to the thrifting game and  I can guarantee you, like me, you'll be addicted. Here are few of my recent thifting finds.
