THIS IS WHY …
THE LOOK | OVER 90% OFF | THE GIVE
WE THRIFT.
{ RECAP: This week I went thrift shopping with Morgan DeLapa, owner of Treasure Trove Vintage, and her mama, Honey, photographer + owner of DeLapa Photography. They showed me the ropes + shared < most > of their trade secrets. (I still don’t know how Morgan finds her incredible vintage pieces, and that’s exactly why she has a boutique!) While I won’t “thrift + tell” the secrets they did divulge, this post shares 2 thrifty sources + 3 reasons to thrift on your own. The loot I cashed-in on??? Less than $35. Take a look! }
thrift-ventory
- 2 sweatshirts
- 1 chunky sweater coat
- 1 sunflower cropped tank
- 1 suede, satin, embellished vest
- 1 romper (Forever21)
- 1 skirt, tags-still-on (Zara)
- 2 pairs of flats (1 brand name, 1 designer couture)
get your thrift on: this is why we thrift
- On Trend. I’m more a classics girl, myself. But when I find super trendy items for less than $5, I am about that single-season-wear. I want it. The on trend pieces from this thrifty trip??
- cropped sweatshirt – wear it daily
- suede + satin embellished vest – cannot wait to debut
- sunflower cropped tank – welcome back ’90’s
- romper – my 1st romp with ‘er
- Designer on a Dime. I don’t buy designer. I actually don’t care … and I can’t afford. But, when it’s designer for less than $50, let alone less than $5–well, that’s just smarts. And, it’s bragging rights:
- $3, Zara beaded skirt, tags still on – $140 originally
- $2.50, Joan & David couture, handmade in Italy leather loafers – $350+ estimated
- Sustainability. Thrift shopping sustains 3 main stakes. When you thrift shop you:
- community – give back to your community
- environment – recycle and help the environment
- economy – partake in the multiplier effect, which turns your dollars into real revenue
I think we also thrift for the sheer excitement of finding exactly what we want for about 90% less than we normally pay. Some people thrift for the thrill + others, for the romance. Regardless, as you set fourth on your new thrift, take every single cue you can get from these 2 Rochester bloggers.
Simply Sarah. Follow her on Instagram, Like her on Facebook, + Check out the website. Shit-you-not: once your jealousy over her insanely satiable finds subsides, you’ll remember to feel happy. Because this woman tells you what is up in the world of fashion thrifts + home finds.
The Treasure Trove. Okay! Rouse is up. You, too, can figure out < most > of Morgan’s secrets without accompanying her on a thrifting trip. Follow the blog, Double tap both Instagrams (personal and store), + Like Treasure Trove Vintage on Facebook, to … I hate to admit it … thwart my chances of buying up her entire boutique.
