Another found treasure

A couple of months ago my mom found a little thrift store who's all profits go to poor kids in Romania. This store does not only have the best clothes (because most of their costumers are seniors so they always have the good stuff left) but the fact that everything is so cheap. It's so cheap because I bought these maxi pants for 50 cents...no lie. I found them in the 'a dollar or less rack' and let me tell you, these are the best pants I own (even though they are two sizes bigger). I wore them with a black hat, which is also from the same store, my lovely Forever21 Mary Janes, Joe fresh shirt, H&M jacket and my brother's leather pouch.

Vintage is my love

Let's just say I've been really lazy on finding a lot of vintage/secondhand treasures...until now. It used to overwhelm me a bit, seeing a whole store packed with vintage pieces everywhere literally made me feel tired, before I had even started. All my previous vintage pieces have been found by my kind brother who knew there could be a treasure somewhere just for Lea, or my mother, who is just getting interested in all things vintage. I have a friend that is completely obsessed with second hand stores, and when I mean obsessed I mean shopping for twenty sweaters in one trip while I stared with amazement in the background, wishing if one day I could be that dedicated to those things. I could say I learned the hard way. I went back-to-school shopping to Forever21 and I didn't find anything that satisfied me, so I searched the rest of the mall and well...nada, rien, nothing. Desperate, I realized the only way I would get the perfect wardrobe would be to do a treasure hunt in the many second hand stores, and since then I've been addicted to vintage.


The silk blouse reminds me of this. Both were under $4!





I love this 60's dress...and I also love the price...$1.75!



Hurray!
