If you're reading this, I'm on vacation in Belize.This is the only new post of the week, but when I come back, there's some great stuff on the horizon, like the tote bag above! 
I'm an avid thrifter and there's a thrill I naturally get when I walk into the thrift shop. From scouring the racks to finding that perfect vintage gem, there's such a high that naturally comes with thrift shopping. However, sometimes you just don't want to deal with the crowds. 
I've found a few jumpsuits I love but when I say a few, I really mean just a few. My problem is they're too long for my 5'2" frame, the waist is baggy but too fitted on my booty or numerous buttons make it a pain to get in and out of. Well, I finally found the perfect jumpsuit.
It inevitably happens. You walk into a thrift shop and head straight for the racks. Um, that's OK, but if you really want some serious jewels, you might want to switch that up.You may be {literally} passing by the best gems in the store and you don't even know it.Here's why I suggest shopping the jewelry case and accessories first! 
When I go thrifting, I don't typically seek out vintage garments in particular. I buy whatever speaks to my style and sometimes that's a 70s pleated dress or a Zara necklace. But I do notice I subconsciously pick up vintage clothes and accessories. The pieces are just so unique and have superior craftsmanship, which is something you don't get with fast fashion.But how do you wear vintage in a way that's not costume-y? This week's Thrifty Threads is all about mixing vintage and contemporary pieces for a modern look.
