October Thrift Haul - The Spirited Thrifter

If I don’t share this quick, November will be over and I will have missed my chance entirely!! Time flies, yet I apparently found plenty of time to thrift in October, kicking the month off with a thrift and theatre date, meeting up with Adina for Tuesday Night Thrift mid-month, and plenty more before/during/after. What can I say?! NOTHING. I’m staying silent.

Alice in Wonderland sweater and Sacha London leather slingbacks for $2.50!! (Don't tell my physiotherapist) — *$7 Alice in Wonderland sweater and Sacha London leather slingbacks for $2.50*

Aritzia brand Talula black blazer for $8

How hard is it to make an outfit with a grey cardi? VERY HARD if it's a Monday, apparently. — *Grey Merino wool BR cardi I almost stole $6.30*

Turns out the "sweater-jacket/blazer" is called a swacket! Thanks @cherrybombonlineboutique for the terminology — *Olive green Talbots “swacket” $7*

Eileen Fisher zip hood sweater $7 (the closest you'll find me in a hoodie) — *Eileen Fisher zip hood sweater $10 (the closest thing to a hoodie you’ll find me in – thrifted mainly because I can’t resist Eileen Fisher).*

Hugo Boss Jana blazer $5.60 — *Hugo Boss Janna blazer $5.60 – retails around $600!!!!*

Here's another look at my latest purchase: a $7 @saturdaysunday_ knit "blazer" that is so comfy and easy to wear! I have a secret to share about on the blog, hopefully in a couple hours! Stay tuned! — *Saturday Sunday swacket $7*

The stripes up top help to balance out the fullness of the skirt. — *Grey skirt WITH POCKETS $6*

Tuesday's outfit and a photo-bombing Berner. — *Soya Concept dress $7 and NWT Cleo scarf $5*

Anthro-brand Maeve dress thrifted for me by Adina – this formed the bottom of my Halloween costume!

The dress has pockets and such pretty details and colours! Can't wait to wear it for realz. — *The dress has pockets and such pretty details and colours on the silk top! Can’t wait to wear it for realz.*

*Theory dress for $11.90 in an awesome colour that fits perfectly!*

I have also been hunting for jammies FOR-EVAH and found this lovely blue-tag night shirt for $3! — *Night shirt for $3!*

*Salvatore Ferragamo navy pumps for $5!!!!!! Also part of my Halloween costume!*

I took these Miz Mooz wedge flats home for $10 - you can see why!!! However, I was fooling myself that I could manage the size smaller, and they were the first to go in the Closet Minimalism Game. — I took these Miz Mooz wedge flats home for $10 – you can see why!!! However, I was fooling myself that I could manage a size smaller, and they were the first to go in the Closet Minimalism Game, so I decided they didn’t count in my budget. #uglystepsisterdoeswhatshewants

And last but not least, TWO options for upcoming Mad Men parties – you know who you are, and notice the plural. I have the dresses, the cocktails shall come! 😉

*The back is such a surprise on the retro style! I love it!*

And this dress WITH POCKETS is so Betty Draper on! Can't wait! — *And this dress WITH POCKETS is so Betty Draper on! Can’t wait! Also $11.90 – you can see why I *had* to get them both!!!*

BUT, I still have some $$$ in my contingency fund AND all your clicks finally paid off and I got a small amount from Google Adsense! WOOT WOOT! Two cents a day adds up! 😉 Besides, I may have been over-budget but I think we can agree I *needed* them all! Now, I am busy purging my closet to make way for newer and better things! Can’t wait to go thrifting this weekend!
