Trendy Tuesday: I Love Thrifting Atlanta 2012 Recap


I know I'm a few post behind but it would be remiss if I didn't share this post! I Love Thrifting Day was a huge success!!!!! I attended last year and again this year. 
However, I must say it gets BIGGER and BETTER each year! I have NEVER been much of a thrifter but it's fun and exciting because it's like a treasure hunt. You just never know what you will find when thrifting! 

We rolled out on a charter bus... Toot, Toot ~ Beep, Beep!!!!

This is how I Love Thrifting Atlanta Roll

Our (2) two lovely hosts were Keren of Two Stylish Kays & Kerrie of Virtuous Styls

My Oldest Daughter: Tyler & I 

She's a DIE HARD thrifter... her entire outfit is thrifted with the exception of her shoes & necklaces

I remember when I was this TINY! (Tehehehe)

Power Pack to keep us thrifters energized on the BUS!

Yours truly won the I <3 thrifting t-shirt at the official launch party back in December. I'm pictured here with the Master Mind behind I <3 thrifting day Rashon Carraway of Mr. Goodwill Hunting


We also made it on TV... Check out our video footage courtesy of 11 Alive News Atlanta to see additional pictures from our I Love Thrifting Day Atlanta celebration.






I'm linking this post up to Corie of It's My Taste for Trendy Tuesday!




Do you think thrifting is here to stay or is it just a Fashion Trend? 


Note to you: The key to thrifting is PATIENCE! PATIENCE! PATIENCE!



 ~ Until next time 

Peace, Love, & Fashion

    Your daughter is so pretty! I remember when my stomach was flat like that!

  11. I bet you all had so much fun! I think thrifting is here to stay. My mother was into thrifting when I was a little girl waaaaaaaaaaaaay before it became trendy. I used to thrift in vintage thrift shops in high school so that no one would have my clothes. And I just recently got back into it and love it!
