The perks of vintage shopping

Outfit Details:
blazer- Talula // dress- Forever 21 // necklace- Value Village // shoes- Christian Louboutin
belt- H&M // bag- Armani Exchange

If you truly want one of a kind pieces in your jewellery collection and wardrobe, I suggest that you start shopping at your local vintage or consignment store. The other day I found this stunning oversized interlocked necklace at a nearby Value Village (or as I like to affectionately call it, VV Boutique).

I love statement necklaces and this one in particular has a really vintage appearance that I think is really unique. Without a doubt, one best part of wearing vintage items is knowing that there is a slim chance that you will run into anyone else who has the same item as you. 

I'm really curious to know what other people think about vintage shopping. I know many people detest it because they don't like treasure hunting for used goods, but I take great pride in finding quality items or one-of-a-kind pieces for ridiculously cheap prices. One time, I even found an authentic monogram Luis Vuitton wallet at a vintage store (a lucky fluke, yes, but every budget-conscious fashionista's dream). With that in mind, what do you think of thrifting?

Love,

  3. Lovely outfit. I am new to vintage shopping I have yet to purchase something vintage but I have been checking out my local vintage stores. I think it can be really rewarding finding a good piece with some history behind it :)

  7. I think thrifting can get you amazing deals. I was just reading a blog where this girl bought gorgeous yellow Aldo pumps for just 5 bucks, at salvation army. Your necklace is another example of just such a deal! Love your looks! :)

  10. I love charity shopping (I suppose you'd call it thrifting) I was lusting after a coat in Topshop that was well out of my price range for two months until I found an extremely similar one in a charity shop for one measly pound! I couldn't believe it I nearly cartwheeled out with it

  21. Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective.
    A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and visual appeal. I must say that you've done a
    great job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very fast for me on Chrome.
    Superb Blog!

  25. I once got lucky at a local consignment shop and found a vintage Chanel 2.55 bag! Vintage shopping and consignment shopping in general requires patience and time. I find it to be quite thrilling!

    Love your mix with high and low in this post.
