Happy Tuesday all! I love sharing Value Village adventures on Clothes Line Finds! Today's tale is one of two Antheas adventuring out on a cold Saturday morning in Toronto. After a few hours of digging, searching and trying on numerous outfits, both of us left the store with a new bag of treasures to take home. All in all, I left with 5 blouses, 1 beautiful pair of black patent loafers and an amazing pair of dark blue skinny jeans. I purchased all of these items for about $75. This may seem expensive, but think about the last time you went shopping? Even a shirt at H and M or Forever 21 is usually at least $35 (before tax in Canada!), and I wouldn't even dream of being able to find a pair of brand new loafers for under $75 brand new.
If you're patient and willing to put in some time and muscle searching through aisles of second hand clothing, you can save a lot and look fabulous too! You're even doing your part to save the environment! One of the great things about second hand shopping is that you are less likely to find yourself wearing the same dress as someone at an event and more likely to find a piece with a unique little story/twist that will usually stay in your closet a lot longer too!
If you haven't shopped second hand very much, be sure to check out my Top Thrifting Tips here.
Life is full of thrifted treasures. Enjoy!
I didn't end up buying this amazing number as it was just too big.
It was $15 and to get it altered would be at least $15 and to me
it just wasn't worth it.
Didn't end up buying the shoes either as I found they weren't in
the best shape. Aren't they fun though?!
Anthea left with this amazing cape - love the color on her!
Exhausted, but thrilled with my new finds!
Anthea is excited too!
