Back at it AGAIN with a new post! Hola good people, while I know you all probably are out enjoying this good weather and pulling out your white linen suits to rock at Auntie's Annual Memorial Day bbq... I'm glad I got your attention for a few minutes! If you look at social media, there are boutiques and online stores everywhere. A lot of people knock the trend but, I salute it! We live in a world where everything is done in the palm of our hands, in seconds, so why not take advantage of the opportunity to make some coins?
Now, while I salute them, I'm still a cheap a** lady. I wouldn't be me if I didn't find stuff for less money. There's a huge misconception that everything in the thrift store smells like menthol rub, with cigarette holes and was made in 1923. Wrong fam. While I have seen this style of shirt in 70s films, the lace up top trend has been a thing lately and I've been so pressed to get my hands on one!
One of these tops were $15.90 at Forever 21 and the other was $4.99 at Savers Thrift Store. Without reading the captions, at first glance tell me which is which?!
Tan "suede" lace up top, Savers, $4.99
Black crisscross top, Forever 21, $15.90
I'm honestly in love with the top from Savers. It's made of a faux suede material that's really stretchy and hugs you perfectly. The thrift store search really isn't for the meek, but listen to me when I say if you're patient you will always find some real gems! So when you have the time, and don't wanna spend mark up prices at retailers or online, go and see what you can find at your local thrift stores. Everything there isn't outdated and from the Roseanne set... And even the stuff that is, look at all the trends that have come back in style?! One of a kind pieces, make for a fashionably cruel summer.
Peace & Hand Sanitizer XOXO,
Kelly
