It was a beautiful day yesterday so I ventured back out to the Salvation Army for a day of half-off thrifting. I'm enjoying the hunt for vintage clothes much more here in Pennsylvania than I did in LA. Although I found some amazing pieces in LA, it always felt like a competitive sport. I would walk into a vintage store and instantly feel pressure and anxiety. There were always a dozen other girls, grabbing things left and right and I always felt like I was missing out on all the good pieces. Here, I'm shopping shoulder to shoulder with little blue haired ladies and Mennonite women in their bonnets. Gone are the C-list celebrities and movie stylists. Good riddance! As for my haul yesterday I found lots of cute, summery dresses that I'll be listing in the store as well as a few last minute cold weather pieces. I was smitten with those black and white oxfords. They were even in my size! But when I picked them up I realized the insides were completely falling apart and flaking off. It was a little gross so I ended up passing on them. :(

aww
the oxfords are so cute, they remind me of old grandpa dancing shoes but I love themm!
I love your pictures too, the first one and the one of the sky, they're beautiful =]
It's the same here in New York as in Pennsylvania. The thrift stores are usually full of close and empty of competition.
I'm going to be back in York for a few days during the summer. We should hit up some stores together!
those shoes are divine. Its a shame they're falling apart. Its the pits when you see something great and then realised that its terribly stained or has massive holes.
I dont have to say it but those shoes are too special, i like that thier patent gives them a bit of extra zing.
i want those shoes so badly! its so hard to find those kind of shoes here, i see it one at zara, but they dont have my size :(
