It's safe to say that as a hardcore thrift shopper {I've been thrifting for pretty much all my life!}, I've found some serious gems. I'm talking pieces that are absolute showstoppers and have people asking, "where did you get that??" and the garments that make me smile every time I see them hanging in my closet.While it's hard to choose favorites, I thought it was time for me to round up my best thrift store scores and share the tips I used to find them...so you can find some gems as well at the thrift shop.Thrift Store Favorites: red vintage Oscar de la Renta wool and velvet trim coat

Ah, the button down shirt. Pretty much everyone has at least one in their closet and you can find them at pretty much every, any store. And understandably so. The style is a classic.But while you might wear a button down in the traditional way {buttoned down!}, you can absolutely have fun and remix it. You can even turn a button down into a trendy crop top and even a halter. Don't believe me? I'm showing you how. And it's ridiculously easy.Black printed button down shirt styled as a crop top

After completing the Try It, Wear It, Love It challenge, it became clear to me that I appreciate casual garments with a bit of flare. Comfort is certainly key, but looking cute is also a factor for me.And for a few months I had been on the hunt for a hoodie dress. I'm sooooo not a hoodie girl, but something about a hoodie dress just looked so comfortable. While I saw a few cute pieces online for $50-$60, I wasn't willing to spend that much for trendy gear. Instead, I made a mental note that I was on the hunt for one and my retail prayers were finally answered when I found this hoodie at the Salvation Army.It was a simple neutral color, super soft and there was a ruffled hem.

Peep the video below to see what I scored, as well as a few thrift shopping tips, including how you can negotiate prices at some shops!

looking-fly-on-a-dime-how-to-wear-vintage-vintage-high-waist-pants-stud-top Vintage clothing can get a bad rap. While I appreciate a garment that's 20+ years old, I totally get that some people think the pieces are outdated, tattered and hard to wear without looking costume-y. It's totally possible to style vintage threads in a modern way. Because remember, fashion is cyclical, so what's currently trending has already been done.Here's how I styled a few vintage clothes in a fun, even edgy way.
