The challenge was taken this weekend by me and two of my closest friends. We stepped out and stormed three thrift stores in a row. One after the other we scoured the racks looking for what we thought to be a find. After three exhausting hours we emerged holding bags of goodies. We each felt satisfied with our new purchases and after some dinner for our growling stomachs we spent the evening trying on all our new (but old) clothes.
And the next morning, I took one of my favorites for a spin. (This wrap was hanging loosely off a hanger, but seemed to be intersting - turned out - it was!) Oh... the thrift adventures.... what fun!

This looks like so much fun! Tomorrow night I'm heading back to B'ham, AL to visit family and friends - I set aside the whole first day for a marathon thrifting day.

Is Orange close to Disneyland? I'm going to Disneyland in a few weeks and I'm planning on stealing my family's rental car and checking out some nearby thrift stores. Do you have any recommendations? Either in Orange or the OC in general? Thanks! I love your blog!
Monelle,
You gotta check out SAVERS in La Mirada, CA. It is only 15 minutes from Disneyland. Go to the SAVERS website for directions and if you get a chance to go you will not be dissapointed. Good luck thrifting!
Oh the thrill of the hunt!! I have found many of my adored Vintage garments at TS~~I get an endorphin rush every time I know I will be going!! It is literally a treasure hunt but it is not for the faint of heart!!

Julia, it is in Redondo Beach, on Artesia Blvd. The thrift stores are east of Aviation Blvd, and west of Inglewood Ave and the Galleria Mall. Hope that helps!
