I love my new life in San Luis Obispo but it’s just about this time of the year when I get pretty tired of the steady stream of studying, midterms, late nights at the library, quizzes and papers. I totally needed a break from the grind and what better way to mix it up than to head back home and squeeze in a little thrifted shopping? What’s really fun about thrifting is not knowing what you might find from one visit to the next. My latest excursion did not disappoint!

I was super excited to find a pair of mid-calf strappy suede boots from Portugal. How cool are these?! I wasn’t even looking for another pair of boots but I couldn’t pass these up! The boots are super comfortable and amazingly well made. Add leggings, crazy socks, mis-matched socks, anything goes!

 

In addition to the boots, I also found a flowy blouse that works well with jeans, shorts or a skirt. I love the jersey material, capped sleeves and lacy fringe bottom. This style is so trendy right now and looks great with just about everything! I paired it with a simple headband, black pants, and my favorite pair of boots….a perfect casual outfit for a fall day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another random find was this mix & match shirt. It has stripes on the front panel, black and white polka dots on the back panel and the cutest floral patch that adds a splash of color and whimsy to the front. I absolutely LOVE this shirt! Another plus is that it was only $3.99!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last but not least, I also found a lacey crochet crop top! This shirt is so chic and stylish. I love the intricate patterns and scalloped edges. You can wear different colored tanks underneath to slide in a little color. Add a boho hat and some high-waisted jeans and all you need is someplace to go. This crochet top was seriously only $.99!!! Seriously?!?!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, it’s a wrap and it’s back to the library for me.
