I know I’ve said this 21 zillion times already but yes I really love hearing from fellow thrifters that find luxury clothing in thrift stores. I received this fantastic letter from Loretta with photos of her items and she’s a pro. Every time I receive a letter from anyone telling me their story so that I can share it with my readers I’m most grateful. I’ve been a thrifter now for 30 years and it’s been a incredible journey for my luxury clothes and I wouldn’t have traded it for anything because this is truly the ‘greenest’ form of shopping there ever was. Every item I’ve found or Loretta has found has history and a story, we may not know what the story is but that’s the point that fascinates me to no end. Let me hear from you if you have several luxury clothes, jewelry or furniture your scored from thrift stores, estate sales or yard sales…. Thanks for keeping it green. Here is Loretta’s letter & photos:
Hello Daniel,
I have been an avid thrifter even before it became so popular for so many reasons but I still manage to find a lot of wonderful items and though many of them are not considered luxury they are what i consider to be high end and perfect for me. Attached I have chosen 6 items that appear to fall into what you have been looking for. Here is a brief description of each along with how much i paid for each all purchased from GW fashions as I like to call it. ( a little thrifters humor for Goodwill shoppers)
Alberto Makali top white with navy polka dots $3.39
Taryn Rose black suede upper sling $3.39 (please note the heel)
Donald J Pliner shoes green with bronze flecks $3.39(gorgeous flower accent0
Shoshanna summer dresses brand new $4.59 each
Shoshanna skirt $3.39
Hope you enjoy my finds. Thank you for your time and your love for thrifting. Hope we talk again soon.
