11. Don't forget to look for accessories. Retro/Vintage/interesting belts can transform a simple dress.
(This is hands down my all time favorite thrifted belt! I wear it with everything...clearly)
13. Find a few places that you really like and pop in during the week. I find most of my gems on Tues and Wed after work as opposed to the weekend. That's how I got a ReAL Louis Vuitton for 50 bucks. I was there browsing on a random Tuesday and saw the manager put it on the shelf. I snatched it smooth out of her hands! {evil laugh appropriate here}
14. I hate this rule but...try on EVERYTHING! Most thrift places don't allow returns.
15. Find alternate ways to wear the obvious. (I thrifted a 3 buck cape that I can wear as a cape or as a wrap skirt...I'll post pics later.)
(This is indeed a daishiki my friends...JJ from Good Times is not the only person who can rock it)
16. When you see something that you know is worth it. GET IT. Never assume that it will be there later. And make sure you love what you buy!
Now, can someone PLEASE share with me how to become wealthy rather quickly doing something that doesn't involve selling crack cocaine or pulling an all nighter while wearing nothing more than fishnet stockings and clear glass heels on Main Street? I'm taking serious suggestions only since THIS PLAN clearly isn't going to happen because a certain "somebody" decided to end her show soon! Oprah is so selfish!

Good tip, i'm rather neglectful about my accessories
Girl, do you know what's in that previous post? No telling what's in there! LOL Anyhoo, work that Dashiki!! Work!! If if wasn't for thrifting, I wouldn't have any BCBG Max Azaria boots, shoes, Anne Klein shoes and boots, Oscar de la Renta slip ons, I would have any Banana Republic dresses and shoes, Anne Klein dresses. I tried to tell them on my own blog what time it is! There's even some stuff that I didn't post yet, because I don't want to seem like I'm just bragging on and on! I have a place at the border of the cities of Oakland and Berkeley CA, and it's the bomb! And another place in Alameda CA that's great for dresses, (designer of course). Me and you see I-to-I about this thrifting thing! As I said before Wurk!! nnhbb.blogspot.com
I'm in love with the ethnic blouse ! So pretty !
I am really enjoying reading your blog. I love thrifting. I found some original 1950's purses not long ago in silver and gold leather with gorgeous handles. I've also found a fantastic leather jacket and a gorge silk blouse. You look fab!
I love prancing around in fishnets and clear heels. LOL!!!! LOVE the daishiki and pencil skirt!!!
girl, you find the most awesome stuff! i love all of the belts. great thrifting tips!
I love thrifting vintage accessories. In fact, that's usually what I aim for when I go. Totally agree about being in the mood and going during the week. Another great post, thanks for sharing your wisdom ;)
Amazing tips! Thanks for sharing :)
Great tips....I am one of the worst thrift store shoppers so I can use all the help I can get!
p.s. love the belt!
Thanks for the tips!! I love that belt! I really need to pay attention to the "try everything on" rule. I always get so lazy, buy it without trying it on, then I get home, it doesn't fit, so I put it in a bag, vowing to take it to the dry cleaners, end up forgetting to do that, and then donating it away....haha ;)
Love everything about this post. The 80's belt is pretty major too.
