10 Questions for a Thriftanista - Cessily

Today I'm introducing a new series for the blog that will feature the thrift stories of fashionable thrifters aka Thriftanistas and also some of the best thrift stores around town. My first Thriftanista is the good homie and Violet's favorite auntie, Cessily.

She is a vintage queen! I've seen many pieces from her wonderfully curated personal closet and can attest that she is a true Thriftanista.

Today is also launch day for Cessily's blog, Vintage Nut. Check her out for great vintage style inspiration!
