FEB THRIFT HAUL // PT 1 OF 2

Let's talk about thrifting real quick. Thrifting has definitely become pretty trendy the last few years, and I'm really glad it has. Not only is it a sustainable way of purchasing clothing, there's also something satisfying about finding a piece that's completely different from the store duplicates and what's inside everyone's closet. It can be a lot of work sometimes, but when you find that one special, hidden gem, let tell you - it's so worth it!

I always love thrifting with my friends. Everyone finds such unique pieces for themselves, it's just really cool to see. One of my friends always finds expensive and designer items, while I on the other hand, rarely do. I do still end up with a couple of thing I really like.

So even though this haul is from way back in February, I have to show you what I got! I didn't get much this time, but I'm really happy and proud of myself with the pieces picked out. 

So what, let's goooo?

THE FANCY BLAZER

Okay, this blazer though?! Can we agree on how cute it is?? AND, it actually fits as though it was made for me. The sleeves are just a little too long and go up to the middle of my palms, but I just roll them up to have a more overall casual look. Because the blazer has a cinched in waist that flows out at the end, I try to make sure the bottoms I wear with it are a tighter fit so that the hip area doesn't look bunched up.

THE BAD BOY LEATHER JACKET

Now this, this has got to be my absolute favorite purchase made. To. This. Date. What a BABE.
One thing, it's a faux leather jacket and I'm all about real leather. But I'm going to pretend it is because it looks and feels so much like the real deal that I couldn't tell at first. We'll count that in.
This is another incredible piece that fits me so well with just slightly longer sleeves. I don't know about you, but I love this one so much and can't wait to wear it out!

THE 2COOL4SCHOOL BOMBER JACKET

Guys, I love this jacket so so much! I didn't realize how cool bomber jackets were until I had one in my hands. It's such a great style to wear during the spring and fall and makes you look effortlessly edgy. Great fit, amazing look - what's not to like here you might ask? *silent sob*
The sound the material makes, makes the hair on my arms stand. Just thinking about it makes me feel weird, ah! I don't know why I didn't realize this while shopping. I guess I wasn't thinking about it too much, but now it's just impossible for me to wear it!

I'm thinking about maybe selling it because it's a lovely piece and in such great condition. And the orange/black color combination is so pretty too! I'm so sad this isn't working for me, but maybe someone else will be able to wear it as much as it deserves.

THE KNIT SWEATER 

This American Eagle knit sweater was a last minute decision I made at the thrift store, but I'm not mad about it at all. In fact, we never have enough sweaters for our winter seasons here in Minnesota, so I'm all down for it.
I do love that this sweater has a some areas where its knitted holes are bigger, making it a little see through in all the right places; a little step up from the usual.

I had to divide my haul into two parts so that there aren't too many photos in one post. 

Well, what's your favorite item so far?!
