My Latest Thrift Haul: Finds, Mistakes & A Hack for Next Time

Hello, my darlings! 💕 Know what’s been a while? Me, talking about my latest thrift finds. Why? Well…

Maybe because I quit my job, traveled the world, and wasn’t sure where my blog was going after I got back.
Maybe because I started treating IG like my primary platform instead of my blog (insane but… more than maybe).
Maybe because I thought no one would care about my hauls (ANOTHER insane thought! Who doesn’t love a thrift haul?! And if you don’t… please skip this post).

Or maybe it’s all three… with a little identity crisis sprinkled in.

Either way—we’re here! And I’m amped about it. Let’s talk about my latest thrift finds, my current wishlist, and a little hack for your next thrifting adventure.

Outfit No. 1

First of all—my socks in the second photo? Embarrassing. 🙈 Now that that’s out of the way…

I probably wouldn’t wear these pieces together—too dark for me! But that floral maxi? A staple. In the fall/winter, I’ll pair it with a bright sweater, and in spring/summer, I’ll style it with a cropped cardigan and tanks.

The black flowy top? Perfect for virtual client meetings. I’ll get so much wear out of it, especially paired with my bright red blazer.

Outfit No. 2

This flowy floral ‘90s maxi skirt? A year-round dream. The elastic is stretched, but thankfully, that’s an easy fix with my sewing skills. I can do it one evening.

The ivory sweater vest is a fantastic transitional piece for the PNW. I’ve been searching for one that’s not a V-neck, and even though this is oversized, it works! I’ll layer it over long sleeves in the winter and tanks in the spring.

Outfit No. 3

Can I just say how ridiculously excited I am about these chocolate brown trousers?

Listen, I love the look of jeans, but sitting in them for hours at work? Not fun. These trousers are going to get so much wear, especially with my previously thrifted brown v-neck sweater in the fall/winter and tanks in the warmer months.

They’re polished but so much comfier than denim.

Outfit No. 4

Can we talk about this find?! A Wilson 100% leather maxi skirt in near perfect condition—for $5.49?! Someone pinch me.

I like how I styled it here, but I already have so many outfit ideas:
✨ A cropped tank and cowboy boots (obsessed).
✨ A crochet crop top for early summer.
✨ Dressed down with a graphic band tee.

The rustic button-up top is also so me. I can already see it paired with bell bottoms, brown boots, and maybe an oversized leather jacket. *chef kiss*
