a girl on a serious mission - shopping, discounts and thrifts!
Almost missed posting this one. I’ve been pretty pre-occupied for the past two weeks because of a family crisis.. I guess thrifting and blogging is taking a back seat for the time being. But here’s one of my favorite buys.
I am seriously in love with this top. Its very flattering and I looooove the color. It’s nice when paired with distressed jeans or skirts. Very versatile, just how I like it. Bought from Japan Thrift Shop {Phnom Penh} for 1500 Riels {less than $0.40}.
Yay! For the first entry. One thing I’m very careful about buying too much – clothes for the kiddo. She grows so fast that its just a waste to buy a lot of stuff. I mostly buy things that she can wear for at least a year and I get mostly stretchable, bigger than her usual sizes. And it’s doubly hard coz she’s such as fashionista lol!
Thankfully, she’s not averse to wearing stuff from second hand shops. I guess finding vintage, fashionable things makes her happy too. Just like her momma. Last time, I went thrifting with her @ Japan Thrift Shop {Phnom Penh} and we got these. Priced at $1 each, but since we got other items they also gave us a 50% discount, so we just bought this for $.50, all in all $1.
And she loves it!! Both has ‘flare’ style and fits her. She looks really good in jeans hehe. I think I’ve got to take her photo wearing this sometime..
Share your thrift finds here… Happy Bargain Hunting!
**Meme page is up. Please just check the SHARE A THRIFT HUNT MEME page for the rules and details.***
**UPDATE** Sorry forgot to add the date when we’ll be starting the meme. First meme post would be up on Thursday, February 10, 2011. That should give us time to go thrift hunting eh?
Whew! I’ve finally gotten around to posting this. Hahaha. It’s a great time to end procrastination right? Actually, DonyaBooding, a thrifting/blogging friend and I has been tossing ideas about this ‘share-a-thrift-hunt-meme’ since early last year. But we had a ‘life’ in between so this has been put on the back burner.
But I’m now back on track and starting the meme as the Chinese New Year is about to start, is auspicious hehe. See, I’ve been really good, overhauling a lot of my blogs last week and I even managed to make a logo for this thrift-hunting meme..
Why a thrift hunting meme? Well, we love shopping bargains, vintage and we also love sharing our finds. Having a network of thrift hunters would also allow us to discover new thrifting gold mines in every place. Thrifting is also fun and we wanna share the fun with others. And if those reasons are not enough to convince, then this might:
