A few days ago, I hit the jackpot at my local thrifted resale shop. And, if you love shopping for those hidden gems everybody speaks of online, then you know what I am talking about. I guess today was my lucky day because I went second-hand shopping and came out with a ton of jewelry that I am quite proud to be the owner of.
I love to do my thrift shopping when I am all by myself because I will spend hours walking and looking at everything in sight. Thrift crawling used to be my hobby until I took both my oldest daughters and my husband. Now they swear they have the bug of buying gently used items. Lol #copycats :)
So, now I have to sneak out of my own home so I can go shopping alone. I know that sounds a bit selfish, but my girls always find the good stuff before I can get to it.
Lol, but that's the life I live, I guess.
Seriously, I have tried to shop with my family and friends, but it never works out. It could be because I use that time to relax and when the person that came with me finishes shopping they are ready to go. (insert roll eyes right here.} lol
Yep, I am one of those weird people who loves to walk around and try on everything in sight.
Nonetheless, I had to try it on, and I was floored how heavy it felt, which is actually a plus for me. I love a necklace piece that has a depth feel to it. Also, I thought it was a handmade from home piece, turns out it was made in Kenya. If you are wondering, I found a few of them on eBay for around 35 to 40 bucks.
Honestly, I thought it would be a bit higher, but I got mine for 6 dollars. After trying on that neckpiece, I knew I had to get it, and so I did. It may have been inexpensive, but the quality, texture, and feel were terrific.
I couldn't resist looking at this hippie style net bag pictured above. Although, I create denim bags I love collecting bags I can use when going to concerts. I always like having a see through bag that shows everything I have in it.
I really do enjoy finding pieces of jewelry I can remake by putting my own spin to it. But these bangles are a hit with me. I am not a red person but I may even switch my lipstick from pink to a hot copy red.
Besides, a arm bracelets can add a new look with depth and dimension. It will overall change the look and make it more personal. But since I found earrings and bangles that are in good condition, I will only use my jewelry cleaner to bring them back to life without disturbing the integrity or color of each piece.
On this trip I came across so many different pieces and I can't wait to make content to share with you friends.
When it comes to shopping for my personal style I love trying on scarves, clothes and anything that makes me feel good. That's it and that's the vibe I am playing around with.

After getting home, I realized I spent more time at the resale store than I really wanted to for that day
Nonetheless, I was happy with my purchases and where I spent my time on that day. I did get everything I wanted plus more.
I will be styling all my pieces in a later post, but I must say the hammered bracelet has to be my favorite item at the moment.
