Only the shorts are thrifted. I bought a pair of jeans and cut them up & my friend designed them for me. If you want anything designed, you can contact her on her website. Tell her what you want and she will let you know if she can do it.  http://www.kyoncatajen.com/



Can you ask your friend what song is on her website? Shazam didn't know, lol

I started shopping at thrift stores and consignment stores last week  and I am loving it. I have been able to find good deals. I found Lululemon tank tops and pants for yoga at the thrift store for under $10. The lululemon tanks tops retail for $45-70 and the pants for $100. I also found good deals at the consignment stores, 50-70% off retail price.

Some "jeans" I found for two or three dollars.



Ugly dress I will hack into an ugly romper *lol*.  But for real  I wanna pick up on sewing because I need a lot of ish that need to be tailored.  This was three bucks.




I will alter this into a cropped jacket and line it.



An Express shirt.  Fits nice.  Has a small stain on the cuff so I will repurchase that Carbona stain remover for inkstains. 



Will mod and hack this jacket.  But first need to take it to the cleaners because I want to kill the moth larvae and then I will repair it.  Then reline the jacket also because it is damaged.


Will mod and hack this jacket also. There is also some moth damage.  Very minor.


This is an off white twill or khaki jacket that I wanna mod and hack.  I want to dye it some kind of jewel tone color or neon and use a bias tape to contrast it.  I wonder if they (JoAnn's) sell neon dye that is acid based?

I also bought some white pants, black pants (for work), and a couple of work blouses.  I got most of these items for cheap because it was damaged in some capacity and I wanted to use it to practice sewing and alterations/tailoring.  I am armed with books and internet connection so wish me luck.

I found the cutest sweater. The tags were still attached. It sold for $228! I got it for $3.99

Here are some pieces I purchased within the past month and most was puchased when this thrift store had a 50% off of clothings, shoes, and what not.  A number of them need to be repaired and I  want to brush up on my sewing skills by modding and hacking some of them.



This is a linen blend jacket that I am dying to dye into a jewel tone color, like royal blue or something.  But the caveat is that it is a dry clean only jacket and if I dye it, I might ruin the fit.   *sigh*  But it was $1.50 so I might risk it.


This was gifted to me.  Might mod it to make it more fitted *lol*.



Same one in purple.  Much lighter in real life but Picasa alter the color a bit.

I love this thread!!! I am addicted to thrifting. My closet is filled with clothes from ts. I have found coach belts, silk oscar de la renta scarf, ann taylor shift dresses, blazers, name brand jeans like donna karen, adriano goldschmied, joes jeans, calvin klein etc. silk shirts, nice slacks etc etc. I love it! I actually always pass the jewelry section because I dont feel like sifting through all that stuff but after seeing some of you all jewelry finds im gonna start looking. I shop at unique in maryland. If any other dmv ladies are hip to the thrift stores let me know of some other good ones!! Tia
