A (Not So Recent) Collective Thrift Haul!

Hi muffins, I hope everyone is having a great day! One of the things I missed most during quarantine was thrifting… Even though the stay-at-home order in Michigan has ended, I haven’t yet ventured back out to my favorite thrift stores. Man, I totally miss getting up early to go look for some treasures! During quarantine, I spent some time sorting to declutter before I move in July. While doing this, I found some of my most recent thrift store purchases pre-Quarantine that I never shared with you all. I can’t even remember the last time I posted a haul on this blog, so here is a collective thrift haul for my post today!! 🙂

Thrift Haul – Clothes

~GAP “Technicolor Dreamcoat” (Medium, $4)

This sweater is both hideous and beautiful at the same time. 😆 I randomly saw this when roaming through the aisles and just KNEW I needed to have it. Just by looking at it the colors are awesome: emerald, dark blue, mustard yellow, and pops of other shades. The pattern of the sweater is a mix of many; it reminds me of The Princess Diaries moment when Lana asks if a knitting machine blew up when making that dude’s sweater… 😂 Regardless of what the pattern is, the material is super thick and comfortable. Because of this, I am pretty sure it is from many years ago (pre-fast fashion era!). The buttons are metal and have a gorgeous design on them – the cherry on top for this sweater!

~Gnocchi “Gucci” T-Shirt (Small, $3)

I saw this on a rack of new clothes that had just been brought out and literally laughed SO HARD before grabbing it. The thought of someone deciding to dupe the Gucci logo with the word “Gnocchi” is iconic; I am very much Italian, so I cannot wait to wear this shirt to some family gatherings. 😇 While I usually go for oversized t-shirts when thrifting (usually from the men’s section!), this shirt is fitted nicely. I also don’t wear a lot of white, but I just couldn’t pass this top up!

Other Thrift Goodies

~Collection of cards ($3)

I was browsing the home section of a local thrift store when I saw a bag full of cards. The bag was stapled shut, but I decided to take the risk and see if there were any cute cards inside! I absolutely love sending my family and friends cards for their birthdays and holidays, so I knew these would come in handy. In this age of technology there is just something special about getting a little love in the mail. About 99% of the cards were usable, and there were about 90 total in the bag. Such a great deal!

~Cheese Markers ($6 for two packs of 6)

I saw these cheese markers and automatically thought about using them as plant markers for my lovely collection of succulents. I have a habit of naming all of my plants, so I thought it would be adorable to label each one. Now anyone who visits my apartment will know how to address my plants! 😂 I bought two packs of 6 markers, which is more than enough for my “garden” right now. Each set also came with a gold washable marker; it will be super useful for labeling all of my bulk foods in mason jars as well!

Overall, I think I found some neat finds before this whole pandemic started. 🎉 I look forward to heading back out to the thrift stores once I am settled in my new apartment; a new city means new shops to explore! What are you looking forward to most now that stay-at-home orders have been lifted?
