Shhh... Can You Keep a Secret?

Everything I wore on Friday was purchased at a thrift store. I fell in love with thrifting while I was in college. Even though I had a job every semester and summer, I was living on a college student budget and did my best to make smart additions to my wardrobe.

I found button down in the men's section at my local Plato's Closet. I generally have decent luck there... though I have to dedicate enough time to go through the store a few times to make the trip successful. My black jeans and leopard smoking flats I found at Crossroads Trading Co. The flats are still available online at Target and they are super comfy. My black jeans are the rail straight black frost by Madewell. Yes. The jeans are Madewell and I purchased them at a thrift store. I'm not sure who decided to give up these amazing jeans, but I snatched them up, tried them on and quickly purchased them before I could think twice. They are my first Madewell purchase. Needless to say, I am now a full fledged believer in their denim. I will be saving up for another pair in the future.

Even though I am now working, I am still living within a budget. I also really enjoy the art of thrifting. I find it really exciting to walk into a store and stumble upon hidden treasures.
