Vintage maxi

This thing is no joke. Found it at a thrift store for $4 and absolutely love it. It may not be practical for everyday wear but definitely appropriate for walking along a trail by your house and finding a cute creek and bridge!

2 piece

The thrill of the hunt. The score that makes you comin back for more. This brown and black checkered 2 piece was just that! I stopped by a thrift store that I've driven past my whole life on the south end of the island but I had never gone in. It's two stories, really organized and the whole second floor is just books (awesome). I scowered the racks with nothing particular in mind and have to say this was my best thrift store experience. I found tons of doilies to save up and stash for future craft projects, a beaded tassle necklace, a motorcycle nomad book (for a future trip) and this 2 piece shirt and skirt combo. At first I was drawn to the pattern and had only the skirt in mind. I figured I'd try it and if I only liked the skirt it'd be no big deal. I got by bag of goodies home, tried the two piece on and instantly fell in love. You can't realy tell it's two separates but I know and now you do too. I paired it with my leather vest I got about a year ago from Wasteland and my Margiela booties. I love how the vest gave it a modern twist and the whole vibe is very A.P.C. to me. I have yet to top this thrift find, but it's treasures like these that make you keep digging.

Rust

I have never been one to "thrift", not that I am against it, just never found a reason to. Now moving back home, not having the resources that I used to down in LA, and having a smaller budget than what I'm used to, I have found myself visiting local thrift stores here on the island on the reg. I've mostly found knick knacks and craft supplies, but the other day I happened upon this rust, vintage, wool skirt in the middle of the halloween costume rack. I didn't want to try it on so took a risk, bought it, brought it home and it turned out to be the cutest fall skirt I own! I paired it with a white lace top and my birkenstocks for a delicate fall look.

Midi

I have never been too much of a skirt wearer, but my favorite fall trend right now has to be the midi skirt! Hitting just below the knees and a bit of an a-line cut, I found this vintage plaid one at Wasteland when I was back in LA and I absolutely love it. I bought a similar one in black and can't wait to pair these with swesters this fall season.
