thrift finds 8/22

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

So, yesterday I went on a quick trip to Goodwill looking for some lining fabric for a bag im making. Didn’t find that, but this is what I did find:

striped sweater/shirt, vintage belt, black yarn, and a car cd holder (which i really needed!)

sweet brown leopard sweater which needs a little DIY-ing. Gonna add a zipper and possibly make it a shrug.

anddd this awesome dress that was only $4. fit me perfectly. will be great when i need something classy to wear.

I keep seeing people on really cute bikes and i’m totally jealous! I really, really need a new one. I’ve been keeping my eye out at thrift stores but haven’t had any luck. I’m considering caving and buying one brand new.

adorable.

Threadless is having another $5 sale!

I love purposely buying shirts big and then reconstructing them into something cute. Threadless shirts are awesome for DIY.

for the graphic design geek in me.

urban outfitters

I hate to admit it, but Urban Outfitters has some pretty neat things. Their clothes are a different story…i’m talking about their apartment & home stuff. I’m usually not one to shop there…the clothes are terribly overpriced and not well made. Also, it always bothers me when a store tries to push the whole “DIY” thing, trying to make it trendy while their products are mass produced in sweatshops (same thing with the new “green” trend). Anyway, with my dislike for their clothes aside, i was browsing the site for inspiration since my room has recently been painted and i need some decorating ideas. I found some cool things and got some good inspiration, here’s some of it:

I love how funky and colorful this is. It’s not too often you see unique picture frames…i want to try and make one.

threadless

While browsing Threadless, i noticed they had some shirts on sale for $5. I jumped on the bandwagon, and bought this one:


“Frida’s Garden”

With shipping it came to a little less than $10, pretty good deal I think. I got a Men’s XL…i’m going to make it into a cute dress. Mmm i think i need to stop shopping just a little bit.
