After much stuffing and re-stuffing and a bag burst, I was able to to score 5 purses, 2 pair of jeans, a blouse, 2 skirts, and 2 dresses for $10.
designer "inspired" Tod's handbag
Why did I thrift it?
It has gorgeous color and nice details and even stitching. It's a pretty bag with a vibrant orange color. I couldn't tell if it was real or fake. I was too focused on thrifting to research but once I got it home...FAKE! It's cute though. Not sellable but cute enough for me.
vintage Coach shoulder strap purse
Why did I thrift it?
I want to sell it on eBay. It's cute and I'll keep it if I had to but I bought it specifically to sell.
vintage green Neiman Marcus bag
Why did I thrift it?
I don't have a green purse and it's super soft. It looks like an old school Coach, no?
Lug Moped Day Pack
Why did I thrift it?
It makes the perfect "mom bag". It has pockets and compartments all over. It's compact. It also has magnetic closures which are great for me because I always have my purse open. They come in several styles and colors. This one retails for $48.
vintage Etienne Aigner saddle bag
Why did I thrift it?
It's handmade and the style is so classic. They are a thrift store staple. I spot them all the time. I had no idea the brand still made handbags until last night while researching my finds.
CJ by Cookie Johnson and Bullhead jeans
Why did I thrift it?
Two pair of jeans that cover my butt crack! I'm really excited about the Cookie Jeans because they fit. Finally, thrifted premium denim in my size. After a year of Joe's, Hudson, and AG finds, I have found a pair that fit me! I've had a similar style in a 6pm.com virtual cart foreva!
Milly NY skirt
Why did I thrift it?
Looks great on and the pattern is beautiful. It's also eBay worthy! I haven't decided if I'm keeping or selling.
handmade patchwork skirt
Why did I thrift it?
I'm not sure. I like all the colors in the skirt. It fits well. I'm not much of a patchwork fan though. It fit in the bag so I grabbed it.
silk snakeskin print United Colors of Benetton blouse
Why did I thrift it?
I will always buy animal prints.
floral shirt dress Mlle Gabrielle
Why did I thrift it?
I love shirt dresses and I love prints.
Why did I thrift it?
It's a thick knit and I think I can get some winter wear out of it. It's easy styling and no wrinkling.

You found some nice items! I too went to the event on 12/26 and scored big time!
Wow! I wish my local thrift stores had $10 days. Even though the orange bag is fake, I just love the color and material!
lol "thrift diet". I think you need to do a post about your strategy that allows you to get all that awesome stuff in that little bag ;) Love that Lapis dress.
Great finds to round the year out!! Boom!!
Those CJ's are an awesome find for the price. Enjoy and please post a photo and a review on how they wear. I have been curious about Ms. Johnson's denim.
Happy 2013!
Love Aigner! Everybody should own at least one Aigner piece. Looks like you got some really great items. I will be upping my thrifting game in 2013.
Great finds!! You have officially inspired to me to sell things on ebay/start a blog store! I have so many items that I would like to sell, but dont know where to start. Any advice?
That orange bag is the bomb. I love the color on that. Total score with that one. I wish we had those types of sales around here.
LOVE the color and the handle. Orange has become one of my new favorite colors.
You were able to get a lot for $10! It's a win win whether you keep the items or sell them on eBay!
