a day in williamsburg

my friend Sheena and I decided to meet up this past sunday and make a day of it in williamsburg brooklyn. i do love the whole hometown feel of williamsburg even with all the Ray Ban wearing hipsters. its so beautiful around the water and everywhere you turn there are quaint thrift shops and mom and pop restuarants. i can't afford to live there though. i've noticed that it has come up so quickly and more and more beautiful buildings are sprouting up that i cant afford. it seems to be happening in Harlem as well. im beginning to worry that eventually the rent will be too damn high and i will have to move out of manhattan. le sigh. but for now...i just enjoy visiting..eating...and thrifting it up.

thrift haul: Salvation Army

this past weekend i decided to make a day of it and do some thrifting at one of my favorite Salvation Army's in Harlem. I was on a mission. I was only going to buy tops being that i have very few in my wardrobe. that's the problem with my wardrobe. I have a million shoes, skirts and dresses but not enough tops. it's very easy to incorporate tops into your wardrobe making it one of the easiest things to thrift. I went for bold primary colors. I also found a great skirt and top set that I plan to break up and use with different pieces.




Skirt and Top Set: $12.99
Red Silk Top: $2.99
Yellow Silk Top: $2.99
Total: $19.32
yes im pretty ecstatic and glad i got some more tops to mix and match into my wardrobe. see how i worked in the blue top here and the blue skirt here. In an upcoming post I will show you how I incorporate these pieces into my wardrobe. Along with these thrifted items from my Beacon's Closet Thrift Hall.
