What and Where

I had a busy day today doing errands, bank, post, cook, ironing, work out, etc etc! Too hyper that I am still awake right now, 1:25 am! Well, its not really new right? Guess what? I went visit my fav thrift shop today, and oh my! I was so happy for all the great finds I got:

1. Black Zara short coat - (until waist only) Its wool, like new for €5! a dry clean will cost me more!
2. A Banana Republic black light jacket - I don't know how to describe it, but its like a bubble wrap texture - u know its stitched all over so it has a patterned texture. Its so nice and light! For €5! I will hand wash it myself ;)
3. A brand new Esprit tote - its like a native Filipino abaka woven bag in cream and brown stripes for €4! I had it ready to use for work in the morning :)
4. A gray shorts with black fabric belt - Dutti (Maximo) I forgot the designer's name... hehehe!
5. Green floral summer dress - A Wear
6. Light cargo army green shorts - Active Wear

All together... €25!

Well, I'm sure I shocked you with all these. Hahaha!

Just like what Sidewalkchalk would say..

Dress: Thrifted!

Disclaimer: Sadly, this post and these great finds are not mine. This is an excerpt of an e-mail from my very dear friend Pearl who lives all the way in Dublin. (I hope she doesn't mind I copied and pasted this from our personal correspondence! I was gonna ask her first but I think she is sleeping right now.) Apparently, she is way ahead of me in this thrifting business and I strongly suggest she starts her own blog! Look at what she went home with? I/she could have spent a fraction of our trust funds (no, I don't actually have one, do I, Mother?) on these. What do you think?
