I'm so happy that so many of you enjoyed the
thrifting video that
Kaylah and I made! After seeing
Kaylah's post sharing what she found during our trip I decided that I would like to share what I found as well. I actually got way more stuff than I realized!
My haul: a suitcase that apparently belonged to Candy, 3 dresses, 1 skirt, 2 belts, 1 sweater & two pairs of cowboy boots. There is actually one more thing I forgot to photograph but you will see it soon enough and one more awesome thing that I'll tell you about in a minute.
Full disclosure...the blue dress with the white collar is not
really a thrift find. It was from Sweet Lorain which I would say is more of a vintage shop. Ivan actually picked it out for me! Oh, and see the flowers to the left of the dress? That is a sweater that is just too cute for words that I found at an estate sale! I didn't get a better photo of it but I'm sure you'll see me wearing it soon.
Kaylah mentioned the boots I found and here they are! As awesome as the boots are my favourite find was actually something a little weird...
Lights!! I have been thinking about getting some studio lights for a while now and then Ivan spotted these babies at one of the thrift stores we visited for $8.00! All four lights work and I have been playing around with how to best use them to light my photos on dark days. All of these photos were actually taken using these lights because my office was super dark this morning.
Have you had good thrift luck lately?

ReplyDeleteAwesome finds!! Those lights look really neat. I don't think I've ever seen any like that before. The pictures look great using them!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those boots are simply wonderful! I would kill for a nice colored pair of boots, and by kill I do mean pay some amount of money for them preferably a small amount, hehe!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love the prints. xo, rv

ReplyDeleteHi! I don't usually comment, but I love your blog and have been following it for a little while, via The Dainty Squid.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say I'm glad that you got that pink dress because from the shot of you wearing it in the thrifting video it looks really good on you. :)
Also I'm super jealous that you both managed to find amazing cowboy boots.
Eep! I'm so jealous of those lights! I want some very badly. And for $8!? I think I lovingly hate you right now. Just kidding - but I'm not. ;)

ReplyDeleteI love the cowboy boots!! My friend recently gave me a pair of black cowboy boots that she doesn't wear anymore. So sweet of her.
Those lights are a winner. I was just going to mention how great your photos were. I'm so sick of mine being dark and grainy. What camera do you use ?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I use a Nikon d7000 but before I was using a nikon d3000 and i liked that too :)
