Fall is the time of year when we’re all craving something fresh and new which makes it a great time of year to shop. 

I stopped by my favorite Silverlake thrift store last weekend searching for some bang for my buck. 
Here’s what I scored…

Your local thrift store isn’t just a cheaper place to shop it can actually be a better option for sourcing certain pieces. 

For example, anything you want to look worn in, vintage or totally unique like this awesome jean jacket. 

You can usually get a cooler version of trending items and save some dough-rae-me which can then be put towards your
Isabel Marant Dicker boots:) 

For the record there are certain things I would never buy at a thrift store like underwear or a basic t (let’s not get cray cray) 

HERE ARE SOME THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN SHOPPING SECOND HAND

 Does it fit me? If not is the alteration cheap and easy?

Is it in good condition? Meaning no gaping holes or hidden stains.

And lastly,

How does it make me feel? 

I try to keep this in mind anytime I buy anything…do I like the way I feel in this garment?

So the big question…do I keep the “Cindy” stitching on the back of my new jean jacket?
I think it’s kind of awesome so I’m leaning towards leaving it.

Would love to hear what you think!
