About one week ago, my best friend and I decided to make some time for a little shopping therapy. Granted, some may find delight in shopping the beautiful rack at Nordstrom but we like to get our kicks in at our favorite thrift store,
Value World. We swear by this place as the mecca of all metro Detroit thrift stores. I seem to
always be able to find at least one goodie each time I stop by AND their prices are the best, by far. I can't tell you how many times I have walked out of there paying just $0.80 for a shirt or $0.40 for a skirt - and that's not even on the days I walk in with a 50% off coupon!
Anyway, let's get down to the good stuff, shall we? MY FINDS! I
always love to read Kara's posts (at
Unusual Form) about her new thrift finds so I thought I would share mine this week too! Here's a few sneak peek type photos of the pieces I ended up buying. Don't worry, they'll be making their full debut on the blog in due time. :)
New York & Co houndstooth button up - $1.80
New York & Co tunic length blue button up - $1.40
Land's End burgandy ribbed cardigan - $1.60Natori II burgandy/gold palazzo pants - $1.30
J. Peterman Co tan button up jacket - $1.80
Styleworks blazer with floral cuff - $5.40
Franco Sarto suede boots - $4.20
Sofft black leather ankle boots - $6.20
All of this equals out to a grand total of $23.70. I don't think that is too shabby for a little shopping therapy with one's best friend... do you?
Speaking of money and shopping, I'll be back later this week to discuss my shopping, changes for the new year and more. Stay tuned!
That was the best trip I've had in awhile! So glad we went and cleaned out Value World!
ReplyDeletePS - Why do we always find Franco Sarto shoes at that store?? It's amazing, but who is giving up these shoes? They must be crazy!
@Alicia - I was just thinking about that! Whoever it is, I thank them for their temporary (??) moments of insanity in giving up these Francos... I seem to always benefit from it. Thank goodness we wear the same size! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing thrift store. Clearly I need to move to Detroit just for the thrifting.
ReplyDeletei need this store in my life immediately.
