Keep calm and thrift on?  Can I keep it real with y’all?  I am having the worst thrifting experience.  Ok, maybe I am being a little dramatic but the struggle is real.  I had the bright idea to bring essential clothing on my extending vacation…meaning a few pairs of pants, skirts, and exercise clothing.  I envisioned I would thrift a few summer pieces (dresses, bags, hats) as well as tops to rotate my outfits.  For me, thrifting pants/skirts are a little hard because of my hip to butt ratio!

Y’all this isn’t what I signed up for.  While most of the thrift stores have an abundance of clothing it isn’t my style.  I am finding a lot of winter items which doesn’t help me in the 99 degree weather.  Nonetheless, I did find this top for $.99 at REGENESIS Thrift.

I paired it with a $4 skirt from Goodwill.

This is the final look.  In conclusion, I have learned a valuable lesson…don’t depend on the thrift store!  If you have some thrift stores I should try out list them below! I am in the Richmond/Petersburg Area!
