If you're an avid thrifter like myself then you
know that the number one rule to thrifting is, "to keep an open
mind!" If you anticipate to pick up carbon-copies of the latest trends or
have a specific garment in mind, not only will you often leave empty-handed but
you'll also walk out disappointed!
Now don't get me wrong! That doesn't mean that
you're not allowed to have a little mental wish-list of special items that you
search for each and every time you enter a thrift store... as long a you are
just as content when they don't turn up.
Just like many challenges in life, patience is key!
I will often spend loads of time combing through thrift stores to leave with
nothing other then an empty shopping bag and sore feet - but never
discouraged!
After months of searching and many repeat visits, I
am excited to say I can finally crossed one of those selective items off my
wish list - check!
Beyond excited with this military-inspired jacket I
thrifted yesterday while on one of my hopeful missions down the jacket aisle...
secretly pretending I wasn't looking for this very thing!
In the perfect shade of green, not only does this
jacket have tons of great pockets in all the right places but it's an ideal
length and fits like a glove, taboot!
My only complaint would be that it has no hood, but
at such at a low price-point a girl can't have everything she wants!
I am excited to pair this jacket with yellow or coral
since I love the contrast of the colours! With the fall weather in the air,
this find couldn't have come at a better time!
Happy Tuesday ~ Thanks for visiting!
