Thrift Wth Me // Western inspired clothes & books to resell

This post originally appeared on Wordpress September 4, 2020.

Hey everyone I got some more books this Thursday for my bookstore but I’m also adding vintage clothes that go with my brand. I think you’ll love what I found.

The first items I picked up were this tye dye cardigan and turtleneck shawl/poncho and this fairy cardigan? Actually what is the proper term for this type of top? I don’t normally pick up the dye but I couldn’t resist the material.

Then I walked over to the books and found:

Miss Dreamsville and the Collier County Womens Literary Society (2012), Arthur & George (2005), Napoleon (1993), Art and History of Pompeii, and a vintage book called The Spirit of Liberty.

I browsed a small section dedicated to dressy blazers and coat jackets and found the most amazing horse jacket and suede jacket. The word that came to mind was moccasin, so I just love these two pieces.

I always check the shoe racks and never find anything I like but this time was different. Shoes everywhere. Most importantly boots. I got 5 pairs of shoes, and I’m keeping some because I actually only have one pair of boots – my trusty brown combat boots that sadly have seen better days.

I picked up this beautiful vintage skirt for the navy blue and the pretty design at the bottom.

Someone must have handmade this and donated it, it’s a resin necklace with a bible quote.

And this handbag because it fooled me, thought it was going to be like a Dooney & Bourke purse but no, it just looks like that brand. C

I spent more money than ever thrifting, $61.10. I’m expanding into clothes and I’m nervous about the investment. But I trust I found some beautiful items, I’m so lucky to have found them.

Which item was your favorite? Sorry the photos aren’t the best but I noticed you guys love these posts so I wanted to try extra harder to add photos.

Its Friday and I plan to take my weekend to relax and make a lot of food! I have another haul coming up soon or you can check out my previous thrift with me videos. Until next time! Bye!!

Edit: Grey Poncho sold. Still haven't made my money back from this investment.

Sales have been very slow on Depop and Mercari. It's time to invest more into Etsy! I've decided to source antique and vintage books for my Etsy store.
