I love the joy of thrifting. It's not just the idea of adding a new piece to my closet but I actually like digging through bins and racks to discover a cheap, unique treasure. However, I understand not everyone shares that feeling. Some people just don't have the patience or time for it. Luckily, a few thrift and vintage stores let you shop online. Yup, you can score secondhand clothing and accessories from the comfort of your living room.
So if you guys follow me on Twitter or like my Facebook fan page, then you already know what I was doing yesterday morning...
This weekend I made a trip to Housing Works {157 East 23rd St} and after less than five minutes in the store, my heart stopped. I'm working on a project and was shopping for other people but I inevitably found something for myself.
I've never been a fan of cropped tops. I mean, they're cute and everything but I always felt a little weird about exposing my stomach. However, when I found an adorable one at the Housing Works Buy the Bag sale, I knew it had to come home with me. Since I'm not fully ready to show the world my belly button, I paired the top with a high waist skirt, also from Housing Works, where I walked away with clothing for 35 cents a piece.
On Monday I gave you guys the rundown of last weekend's Housing Works $25 all you can stuff in a bag sale and now I'm showing off the goodies I nabbed. The warehouse was full of secondhand threads and I was able to fit 29 pieces of clothing in one bag. Though the bag normally costs $25, I took advantage of a Groupon deal so the price was only $10. If you break that down per item, the cost is less than 35 cents per piece!
Check out a few of my favorite finds from the Housing Works sale.
