Thrift store gems

Lately, thrift stores and consignment shops have become my favorite places to shop! They're full of designer, and one-of-a-kind gems that you would never find for such an affordable price elsewhere! Over the next few weeks I'll be sharing some of my most recent finds with you all!

Today's look features this gorgeous, vintage velour sweatshirt (that probably had a matching pant back in the 90s) that I found at one of my favorite thirft stores, Savers! If you have a Savers or a Value Village (their sister store) in your area, I highly recommend taking a visit there, you'll be amazed at your finds!

I paired this velour top with a pair of highwaisted, bell bottom jeans to add to the vintage look of the top. Skinny jeans would not have done this top any justice! If you're in search of bell bottoms, just about any thrift store should have a pair. Mine, however, are a clearance find from Forever 21.

My sweatshirt isn't my only thrift store find in this look! I'm also wearing a vintage Fendi bag I found at Savers for only $5.00! I cannot tell you all how excited I was to come across this designer bag, and numerous others as I was hunting for deals! Visit the hashtag #saversfind or #saversthirftstore on Instagram to see what other gems fellow thrift hunters have found for a bargain! On Friday I'll go into more detail about my Fendi purse.

Happy Thrift Hunting!
