Thrifty Finds

Yesterday I shared a video of Elycia and I thrifting our little hearts out, today I'm going to show you the fruits of our day, well my half of it at least. Elycia also made out like a bandit!
While this small pile of clothing doesn't look too exciting, I'm pretty stoked to add these three goodies to my wardrobe. A light, summery dress covered in what remind me of red blood cells, a swim suit and a jean jumper. The swim suit is from an estate sale, I actually bought it to sell (gosh, I have a feeling you'll hear this often...) but I tried it on and fell in love! I have a long-ish torso and have a hard time finding bathing suits that fit without being uncomfortable - this one fits like a dream!
Folding binoculars! These puppies are going straight into my camera bag which basically just turns into an adventure bag in the summer. They're brand new, even the box is in amazing shape.
I'm having a hard time believing that I actually hesitated buying this telephone brooch when I found it. My brooch collection is getting pretty respectable now, I should share updated photos of it soon.
I'm completely smitten with this kitten container. I think it may have previously housed valentines or something of the sort (it has an area to fill in "to:" and "from:" on the back) but it's super clean. It's now the new home to my key collection.
Saving the best for last...LOOK AT THESE! Purple cowboy boots and blue cowboy boots. (Yep, these are the same boots you saw me freak out over in the thrifting video) Not only do they fit perfectly, I'm pretty stoked about the price. The blue pair were $4.99 and the purple pair were $8. Normally that's way more than I'd pay for shoes at the thrift store but seriously, how often do you come across beautiful boots like these!? Apparently someone had just gotten rid of their collection because Elycia was able to snag a red pair and a brown pair at the same place. Super score!
Have you thrifted anything awesome lately?

Well I've gotta run now, but I'll be back a little bit later with something exciting!
xoxo
