Not clothes but I picked up a white casserole dish with green flowers, similar to vintage Pyrex, by this brand Glasbake for $3.99. Do I need another casserole dish? Probably not but I couldn’t part with it.

I almost bought an AYR corduroy button down but it had 2 stains and I wasn’t confident enough to remove them.

Good job walking away from the stained garment! Regrets every time...

I try to stay away from the home goods section unless I'm looking for something specific--I've told myself that if I ever have a 'forever' home, I can start buying loads of cookware. But in a rental apartment, I only have so much room for collections of any kind!

What about something we wished we hadn’t bought? I bought a Peruvian Connection long brown alpaca skirt with popcorn bobbles at the bottom. It was at an estate sale and I didn’t try it on but when I did it, I realized the brown was sort of off for me. But $10 and who knows, maybe when I pull it out in the Fall I’ll love it!

I did have success with a vintage green & yellow paisley corset top though, 100% cotton, naturally 😊.

You're right! Should have snagged it... but I'm sure a Depop girlie will find it soon =)

I’ve also come to terms with the fact that it’s time to retire synthetics. I would have felt the same conflicted feelings about that gray SO top.

My most recent favs are a pair of vintage Gap signature jeans, a pair of orange tab black 550s, and a pair of white drawstring pants that’ll be great for spring and summer ☀️

Ooh. I just bought a pair of black jeans--first ones I've had in a while--and I'm loving the extra dimension they've unlocked for styling!

I’ve been getting the thrift itch this week, so I think I’ll run to the near ones after work this evening to see what I turn up! I’m currently looking for the perfect julie delphy in before sunrise cosplay fit (creme/butter yellow open neck tee, brown slipdress, flannel) & internet thrifting hasn’t turned up any perfection yet.

Eleanor, you have such a good eye. I would’ve been very tempted by the suede jacket, the Nine West black and cream sweater, and the Olsen top.💕

So fun to shop with you!
