Shopping Finds!

Ok, so the aforementioned post about my recent shopping scores! I spent all day Saturday before the art exhibit at estate sales, swap meets and thrift stores, trying to find lovely treasures at prices this poor loli could afford ;) And find things I did!

First trip of the day was estate sales, since things from those go EARLY. I was able to find:
This is a VINTAGE blouse that I got for... *drumroll* $3.25!!! SUCH A STEAL. Going to wear it tomorrow <3

These two necklaces are not only exceptionally cool, but completely unique! The metal one leaves a residue, though, so I can't wear it with collared shirts :C (Sorry for the fuzzy picture!)

Then to the swap meet! I was able to find some AMAZING stuff for REALLY CHEAP there. It was fantastic! There's always the hope that SOMEDAY I'll find a BTSSB or AP dress really cheap at those xD Anyways, here's what I bought:

LOVELY white eyelette jsk dress! And was WONDERFULLY cool during today's disgustiing temperatures of... 113F? Yeah... completely aweful.

A BUNCH of headpiece goodies, for DIRT CHEAP. Though not everything pictured here is from the swap meet, obviously. But I got four sets of bows for a buck. I've been clipping them onto everything! ;D

Then, at the hottest part of the day... onto the air-conditioned thrift shops! Air conditioning is GLORIOUS. Wearing loli in a heat wave is NOT FUN. Didn't score much there, but for whatever reason, I'm always miss-miss-miss-miss-hit-miss at thrift stores, lol...

Anyways, tomorrow or the next day I'll post about the Glow, as well as the stuff I've been wearing! <3 (That's the REAL reason you're reading this, of course ;P) Also, at some point I'll compile my resources and do a post on lolita fashion and what it is. Been a bit busy lately though D:

Bye for now~!

  1. Have you thought about putting the metal one on a different chain? We'll be in the garment district tomorrow and my mom wants to go by bohemian crystal anyway, I'm sure they'll have chains. They mostly cater to big purchasers too so you can get decent chains for not too much money. :)

    I can also show you the awesome trim store down there! So much cotton lace and it's really inexpensive too. I keep trying to get a group together to go out there and it always falls through for some reason or another.
