Top Thrifts of 2011

Happy New Year, everyone!  As a way to bid farewell to 2011 and to welcome 2012, I thought it would be fun to assemble a collection of my favorite thrifted items from 2011.  Some of these pieces are classics, while others are undeniably unique.  But in every case, these cast-off clothes are welcome additions to my closet. 

In no particular order, here are some of my top finds from this year:


1. Teal Silk Blouse. $5
2. Laundry by Shelli Segal Leather Skirt. $10

 3. J. Crew Striped Sweater. $5

4. LOFT brown dress. $15

5. Talbots Bamboo Print Linen Skirt. $5

6. Ann Taylor Sheer Navy Polka Dot Blouse. $5

7. Brooks Brothers Lace Pencil Skirt. $15

8. Charles Nolan Purple Wool Skirt. $2
9. Michael by Michael Kors Booties. $3

10. Elie Tahari Crushed Velvet Jacket. $10?

11.  Burberry Ruffled Placket Sweater. $5

Here's hoping that 2012 yields as many thrift stores treasures as 2011 did.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some printed wrap dresses, as well as button-down dress shirts. 

Thanks for reading!

  5. I love your version of recapping last year. It seems as though 2011 thrifting was very good to you! Good luck with your future second hand adventures.

    Thanks, Lisa! This skirt has been such a workhorse for me. It doesn't make many appearances on the blog, but I wear it at least once a month!

    Thanks so much, Applesandpencilskirts. I love that skirt as well, though I must admit that I didn't wear it as frequently in 2011 as I would have liked. Once the warmer weather returns, it'll be one of the first things I wear.

    Happy New Year!

    Thanks, Sayaka! My favorite part of the blouse is that it's slightly sheer. It gives the blouse a sense of movement, which is perfect for the warmer months.

    Thanks for your comment, Serene! I was so lucky to stumble across that skirt. I almost left it on the hanger, out of fear that it wouldn't mesh with my style. So glad I decided to take it, after all.
