Value Village Finds

Happy Friday! Yesterday was a Value Village Day! I noticed that they have raised their prices, but I have still managed to pick up a few things. If you are going to go to Value Village or the Salvation Army just be wary of the cost of items in stores. Watch out for items that still have the tags on them from the stores, they will most likely be marked up. For instance, I found a cute Kensie blouse, but it still had the tag on it for $70 so the Value Village price was $24.99!! Nevertheless, I found another white Kensie blouse in great shape without its tag and it was $7.99. That's more like it! The more you second hand shop, the more you will begin to catch on to little things like this.

This purse is genuine leather(above image), made in the U.S. It was $14.99 but still a steal because it's so unique and unusual.

This purse is a sort of similar idea. It is from urbanoutfitters, is $42 and is not even genuine leather!

These are the cowboy boots I picked up. They were a little bit expensive at $24.99 but they are in great shape and are made in Spain. It looks like they have only been worn a few times and are really comfortable. I have checked in other stores like Retro Rock Vintage or even True Value Vintage and cowboy boots are often upwards of $90!

So what do you wear these with?
Boho floral prints are really popular for fall, so you can pair them with a cute floral dress. I will probably often wear them with a pair of dark skinny jeans, funky belt and a more fitted tucked in top. You can wear them with cut off shorts (with or without tights) or a longer shirt and tights. Like them?
