Like stripes on white

This brand new, still available on the website, striped linen skirt from the Loft was found at a local consignment store, for $10. I tried it on and it fit perfectly.

If you aren't familiar with how many consignment stores work, typically the item brought in gets a price tag with a date a month out. If the item doesn't sell before that date it becomes half off. The date on this skirt was only four days away, and I kind of wanted to wait and come back, however my boyfriend thought I was being silly, and treated me to it instead.

  2. That is THE best feeling. And yes, I'm with Alissa. It's not fair how many awesome thrifting locations you have! I'm itching to go to Atlanta and do some thrifting. All the Athens area ones get picked over by college kids that don't have jobs and can look at the stores all day. It's such a cute skirt! I'm so glad you didn't wait to get it.

  8. I am so envious about your consignment stores in the US! You can get the nicest things there. Unfortunately we do not have them over here in Germany, maybe a few in bigger cities.

    Perfect summer look!

  14. Haha...I love how you were trying to get an already cheap skirt for half off! I think $10 is a great deal on that skirt! It's super cute and great for summer! I also didn't know consignment stores work like that.

  21. what a lucky find - seriously, who just consigns that???

  22. How on earth did that skirt end up in a consignment store so quickly?! Oh well, someone else's loss was definitely your gain. And for ten dollars, I have to say I agree with your boyfriend - who knows what can happen in four days! But that's just the compulsive shopper in my talking ;)

  24. I am so envious of your consignment and thrift stores! And for $10?! If by some stroke of dumb luck I saw something like that in a consignment store it would probably be priced at like $20! It's adorable on you!
