You don't have to be a blogger, just a lover of fabulous treasure to be in the spotlight. 

Your find doesn't have to be thrifted either but it does have to be a good thrifty deal.

What makes you a Thriftanista?

I spend a lot of time in thrift stores. I love to hunt for good deals and I like to be fashionable on a budget.

What did you find?

Originala Wool Coat from the 60s

How much was it?

I don't remember but I'm sure it was under $10

What makes it special?

I bought this coat when I was searching for a unique winter coat that would keep me toasty warm all summer. I couldn't resist the grape purple color. It's also an extremely thick wool. I did some research on the brand and discovered it was made by a high end coat house in New York and the coats were one of the most expensive lines of that time averaging about $500! 

Where did you find it?

A thrift store in Chicago. It was so long ago I forgot which one.

Where can we see more of your fabulous treasures?

I blog, tweet, facebook, and instagram my finds so look for me at:
