A thrifted dress can be a wardrobe favorite

Today’s outfit features one of my favorite dresses. It was a perfect thrift find. I love this color, shirt dresses, sleek cuts, 3/4 length sleeves, and high waist styles. It all had that and has a perfect fit. Can you believe that it was only $12? Thus, I couldn’t resist to get it even though I have already several great dresses in my wardrobe.

There is a little consignment store in the College Mall in College close to the UAF campus. When I am running errands in that area, I always stop by for browsing. One never knows what one will find. Most of the time I leave without buying. When thrifting one has to be o.k. with not finding anything and leaving the store without buying. Otherwise one ends up with “closet monsters” – you know – these clothes that just take up real estate, because you never wear them.

Thrifting requires discipline not to buy when it is not calling your name. Well, timing is also an important point to land awesome thrift finds.
