I took this photo 10 months ago to share some of m I took this photo 10 months ago to share some of my favorite thrift finds in a blog post, and I'm currently wearing this vintage sequin sweater today โ‡๏ธ I bought it for 99ยข during @arcthrift 's annual sweater sale, and it needed some help. I used dish soap to get a few white spots out of the fabric, and mended a small tear at the seam ๐Ÿชก I don't normally give that much care to my thrift finds, but this silk/angora/rabbit hair blend was so soft and the sequins are in perfect shape, so I gave it a shot! Very glad that I did โ˜บ๏ธ #secondhandstyle #countdowntofriday

9 years ago we were on our honeymoon in Iceland ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ I just had to download this image off of Facebook (hence the low quality!) to post because this coat is thrifted ๐Ÿ˜‚ I still have this coat and need to wear it more! It's a simple, long houndstooth coat. I found it at a big flea market in Florence when I was studying abroad for 25 euro. Once a thrifter, always a thrifter ๐Ÿ˜ #secondhandstyle #countdowntofriday
