Last week I had some time to kill before heading to a Meshell Ndegeocello concert so I did what I do best...went thrifting! I made my way to the Salvation Army on 46th St. where most items are 50 percent off on Wednesdays.

I love wearing dresses year round but especially in the summer so I was on the lookout for girly dresses and skirts. And apparently it was my lucky day because I walked away with some flirty, colorful pieces for the warm days.

Every item I purchased was half off and the most expensive piece was $7.50. I ended up with 10 items for $32. Check out my favorite ones below.

This dress speaks to my sartorial spirit. The A-line style, crisp white hue and cute details immediately caught my eye. It even has a bit of tulle underneath.

Yesterday I made a trip to my fave Salvation Army {46th St. between 10th and 11th st} in search of something fly to wear to a taping of Oprah's post Oscars show in LA. I didn't walk away with one show stopping piece {I may already have something to wear} but I found a few other great items.

If you've never been to the Salvation Army on 46th Street, this location is A-mazing! It's organized for easy shopping  If you're looking for something super specific {a button down white shirt or black skirt}, you can just go to the appropriate rack, as everything's color coordinated. The shoe collection can be pretty hit or miss but there are tons of clothing from labels like Club Monaco, LOFT, Banana Republic and more affordable stores like H&M and Forever 21. The jean selection is also pretty awesome with designer denim from Citizens of Humanity, 7 for All Mankind and Rock and Republic.And on Wednesdays, most clothing, shoes and books are 50 percent off.Check out my most recent thrift store haul. I walked away with seven items for $35.
