one man's trash...


I took this mens wool blazer:


If only this toggle coat was a couple of sizes smaller...


I fell in love with this furry animal print hand held bag. Perfect trash glam.

Skull jumper: Trash & Vaudeville. Crochet dress: H&M. Leggings: American Apparel. Shoes: ASH. Fedora: Trash & Vaudeville. Chain strap bag: Boutique lower east side.

So yesterday was a drizzly grey day so what do I do? Throw on anything and go shopping at a local thrift shop for some bargains. I wore my crochet dress under a jumper for added length and girlyness (is that a word?). I posted wearing it here during the summer.

The wedges are from ASH (bought on sale) and is another item to cross off the 'current obsession' post I did here. They're not like Mary Kate's in that post, but the platform wedge is there so it'll do. I found these here but I would need a 41 I'm sure.

PS. Speaking of shopping, my shop is now open!! Click on the black shopping bag on the left. As a thank you, I am offering a permanent 10% off to all those following my blog via Blog Lovin'. To those wanting the discount, just click on the 'follow' icon/button to become a follower and receive the discount. (Please read details on the SHOP blog).

pps. Only a few shoes have been added but clothes, coats and bags will follow over the next few days.

congrats on the shop and those thrift scores. the man's jacket is old skool and reminds me of my pendletons. you could add an elbow patch.

Tom Tuttle - I have another jacket with elbow patches ; )

Thanks guys. I have a serious love for ankle socks with heels. Always have. Makes wearing open toe anything 10 x easier when its not 80 degrees outside anymore.

I love the socks with sandals, and I adore the crochet dress even though you only see the bottom.
