a thrift shop date

 over the weekend, lane & i scoured a couple of our favorite denver thrift shops -- something we haven't done in awhile. spending a couple unhurried hours in a thrift shop & digging for treasures always refreshes me. i love spending such a small amount of money to fill such big holes in my wardrobe. plus, it's fun to experiment with items i probably wouldn't shell out my pennies for at full price -- things that often end up being my favorites.

I'm totally with you. I actually find shopping at highstreet stores a little overwhelming now. Everything seems to easy to find, too 'in your face'. I love the peacefulness of thrifting and how much you need to look. It's always such a lovely surprise when you find something wonderful!

I would have ALL of them Nat Geo mags!

Looks like you found some great stuff! Thrifting with a friend is always great fun. It's fun to browse racks of different items as opposed to a mall or such where there's about five of the same item on each rack.

Looks like a fantastic experience. I love the idea of finding hidden treasures and thrifting allows that. I'm still getting better at it, do you have any tips?

what's your secret to browsing and scoring some fun finds before you get to overwhelmed with racks and racks of stuff?!?! I try all the time, and never score, but always am envying what other peeps found!!

LOVE that yellow polka dotted purse!!!

i wish there were these big, warehouse-like thrift stores near me. all we have are small-ish shops that make me feel so self conscious about taking out my camera. these are great shots!
