Style: Thrifty vs Thrifted

 Skirt as Dress, Jacket, Bag: Thrifted via Secondhand Stores
Belt: Gap circa 2000 (it was .99)
Shoes: Target (a few years back. 75% off)




Whats the difference? Clearance rack? Discount stores? Thrift/Secondhand shops? I personally primarily shop at thrift stores but I do have a few stores that I know I can find things at a deep discount and the items are brand new. I love to find a bargain so I consider most of my purchases to be Bargain Buys.

The outfit above is a good example of thrifted vs thrifty. Half was purchased from actual thrift stores, the other half from department stores that tend to have great sales at times.

Whats Your Take?

    Woah, you seem like an expert bargainer! I usually just get frustrated, and settle for %15 off. Haha! Cute outfit, by the way! I especially love your jean jacket!
