I have been frequenting my favorite thrift store in my town quite often because they have been running a 50% off sale for about three weeks now.  About once a week or so, I've been popping in to see what has been added to the treasures.

I went in last week and couldn't help but notice this lovely blouse on a hanger just calling to me.
Can you believe I actually left it hanging there, walked out, went home and had to go back to the store to get it?!  I really don't know what my problem is...

 I've been contemplating a leopard purchase because it is currently popular, but I just wasn't sure if I could pull it off.  When thrifting, I often look for items that are currently trending so that I can purchase them for reasonable prices since they don't always stick around from season to season.

I'm so glad I went back in and got this.  Not to mention, I snagged these AG Jeans (valued at $164) at Goodwill two weekends ago when my friend and I randomly stopped in to waste some time.
Double score!

Blouse: Thrifted $1.25
Jeans: Goodwill (AGJeans) $5
Bracelets: Yard Sale $2
Shoes: Goody's $15.99
Ring: Gift Gallery $9.99
Clutch: Me

Total Outfit Cost: $34.23

What's that you say?
You like my clutch you say?
I made it!
I will be selling them this Saturday at my first craft fair in Franklinville for $20.
Wish me luck!
