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

I've had a colorful vintage suit on my thrift wish list for a while and my prayers were answered during a thrift shopping trip to Goodwill last month. Well, they were kinda sorta answered. I had a vision for a colorful vintage suit: a citrus or coral color with a structured jacket and wide leg trousers. That's the image I had in my head.However, the suit I found look a liiiiiitle bit different. It was a mixture of bright colors, had massive shoulder pads, and the skirt was an awkward length.But you know what, for $7, I bought it anyway and styled it seven different ways.How to Style a Vintage Suit in Flattering Ways

Most of us put some effort into what we wear on a daily basis. I mean, we’re heading out to work, running errands or meeting with friends or loved ones. So you wanna look your best and rep your style, right?Something interesting has started happening to me. Over the past few months, I’ve been focused on what I wear to bed. Yes, bed. I even have a bottom drawer in my dresser that’s solely devoted to loungewear and the first few hangers on my clothing rack are for displaying vintage robes.At first I felt a little silly, but then I realized we all need a feel-good night time routine and for me, that involves wearing what makes me feel great and relaxed.

Yes, I used to happily proclaim this about recent thrift stores scores that I was proud of. Now, I'll just as happily tell you about a $20 thrifted dress.
Over the past few months I've started spending more money on my thrifted clothes and it's been the best thing ever for my style.
