Hope you guys had a chance to read through my Thrifting Tips! I’m going to take you through the process of it all, just because it can be a little overwhelming! I love the Goodwill in Mount Pleasant, the one is James Island is amazing as well. They are open until 8PM which is great for last minute shopping needs! 


 

 

 

 

Okay, now I’m in my Happy Place :)

 

 

 

 
 

Lets start with tops.

 
 
Remember, scan the isles looking primarily at fabrics and prints.
 
 
 
 
Love this knit yellow with a shallow turtleneck. Will look great with jeans and riding boots. 
 
 
 
 
 
Awesome Metallic tank top, perfect for layering. Cute with black jeans and a jean jacket, or paired with something more fancy.
 
 
 
 
Striped tank, great for under a blazer, sweater, etc. 
 
 
 
 
I was drawn to the thick lace texture and the cut of this tank.
 
 
 
 
Again, the texture of the lace around the neck will be perfect for layering. Longer tanks are great with leggings and sweaters. 
 
 
 
 
 
This metallic turtleneck is just FUN.
 
 
 
Animal print tee shirt. This is an XXL but don’t be scared to get different sizes because you can manipulate them. This will be great underneath a sweater and having the animal print collar coming over. 
 
 
 
Beautiful maroon sheer top, can be worn many ways. Tied, tucked, under a sweater, paired with jeans, with skirt, etc.
 
 
 
 
You can find fun cotton tees at Goodwill too! Love the prints!
 
 
 
 
Oversized metallic tee. I love oversized items from goodwill, they are so easy to rock with leggings or skinny jeans.
 
 
 
Another great collar
 
 
 
 
Big sweaters are easy to find thrifting, perfect for cozy nights!
 
 
 

Jackets

 

Remember- try on all sorts of shapes, sizes, styles for various looks throughout the fall/winter season. Look mostly for:
 
 
-oversized jackets
-bomber jackets
-printed blazers
 -oversized blazers
-fitted blazers, 
-any cool funky jackets with patterns
 
 
 
 
Ruffling detail + synched waste will be very flattering. The neutral color will look great for layering anything!
 
 
 
 
 
This deep emerald green color with gold bottoms is a perfect novelty jacket.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Obsessed with this oversized blue plaid velvet jacket!
 
 
 
This plaid jacket (detailing of color above) can be worn all fall long with mixing patterns or a plain white tee underneath! 
 
 
 
Loooove this light velvet jacket. Very simple, so can be worn many different ways.
 
 
 
 
A great long, white blazer is a good choice for layering in fall and winter. Get it a little larger if you can find it so you can put a cozy turtleneck under! 

 

 

 

Skirts

 
 
 Try searching for:
 
 
-Pleated Skirts
-A-line skirts
-High Wasted Skirts
-Midi-skirts (So cute with boots!)
-Printed skirts
 
 
 

Saw this corduroy skirt and fell in love. So perfect for fall. Paired with a bottom up white tee and boots

 

 

 

 

 

 

This plaid skirt has a LOT of fabric, which can be really fun for a cool event.

 

 

 

Long gray tweed skirt. Must have.

 

 

 

Really love this pastel pink long pleated skirt. Can be worn with a chunky sweater in fall time. 

 

 

Pants

 
 
I didn’t find a ton this time (ran out of time..sad) But remember to look mainly for:
 
 
 -Harem
-Palazzo 
-Culottes 
-Printed pants
-Cool high wasted pants in a different fabric
 
 
 
 
 
Goodwill has tons of high wasted stuff, these black pants are the perfect high waste and long length. 
 
 
 
 
High wasted gray pants. With a white tee shirt tucked in, this will be adorable!
