Looking Fly on a Dime: Affordable Vintage Warehouse

Do you know what I did last weekend? If you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, then yeah, you already know. I hit up the thrift mecca of Udelco warehouse for some serious vintage shopping. I previously posted about Udelco about two years ago, but it was time I paid them a visit again and this time my aunt and cousin joined me. For those who attended my last Ready, Set, Thrift! event, you may have seen my aunt. The thrift shopping party was her first time thrifting and I was happy that she and my cousin joined me for another round of thrift therapy. Based in northern New Jersey, Hawthorne to be exact, Udelco vintage warehouse has affordable, one-of-a-kind clothes. While most vintage wholesalers aren't open to the public, Udelco opens their doors to anyone looking for a treasure hunt. See what I found, plus a few tips if you ever plan to visit a thrift warehouse.

Dime Find of the Week: Tees in the Trap

What: Tees in the Trap pop culture t-shirts Why: A little known secret: I'm a pop culture junky. Well, it's not much of a secret to anyone who knows me and even if you follow me on Twitter, you know I love tweeting my trashy reality TV shows {hello, Catfish and Love and Hip Hop Atlanta!}. So I was stoked when Claire over at Fashion Bomb posted about Tees in the Trap. The affordable t-shirts are a must for any pop culture lover.
