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!

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!

  18. It's funny it's even considered a trend. I thrifted as a kid because we didn't have a lot of money and just never stopped doing it. I do it because I like finding a good deal and to me that isn't trendy, just smart.
