I am so excited about this post! I had a truly wonderful day today and on top of that, I found some amazing stuff. I apologize for the not exactly superb photographs, but I recently started school so I'm not able to be home at the best times for good lighting. All of the items in this post were thrifted from different places (on different days haha), and I love everything I got.

As you may have noticed from the picture before the cut, I got a new Dooney & Bourke all-weather-leather bag. This one was pricier than my other two, which you can see here. I got my other two bags for $9 each, and this one was $33. It's in extremely good condition and I absolutely adore it. It's a backpack. :) I don't have any and I'm really picky about what kinds I like, but this one is perfect! It will be great for bike riding in the spring/summer, or even for school.

This is what the inside looks like:

The next thing I purchased that I am extremely obsessed with is this absolutely stunning foulard from Yves Saint Laurent. I was unable to capture what it looks like, which is a shame, but I will snap a photo on my phone when I wear it! The color is truly so beautiful - it's this stunning amber brown. The scarf is 100% silk and made in France. It's pretty huge; if I open it all the way, I can technically wrap it around my body. It drapes so beautifully when I throw it over my shoulders. YSL scarves usually are around $900+. I got this scarf for $28!!!!

 

I can also wear it around my head, which I kind of like but don't know if I can pull off lol:

Also, hooray for Prada Baroques! Haha

The next thing I got is a cardigan from Juicy Couture. It was $24. I love the sleeves, the crown buttons, and of course, the argyle. The color is a little different in person, but alas, my lighting was not very good!

Does this cardigan look familiar to anyone? It should! Lol. I have an identical one in cream, red, and blue, as seen in this post. I am definitely the type of person to buy something I like in more than one color LOL. Here are the two beauties together:

I got a few tops, as well:

Above: Marc by Marc Jacobs top $14 (It's striped but it's black on black so it's relatively unnoticeable, but it looks very nice on. These photos don't do it justice haha.)

Above: BCBG ruffled blouse - $10
It's a silk/cotton blend and I love the ruffles, but I have to say, BCBG is not worth the money it costs at retail price. I don't love their quality.

I got this Joie tank top as well; it was $14.50. I love it!

Finally, I found this Catherine Malandrino dress at a Salvation Army store. I was so surprised - the store is literally in the middle of nowhere and not in a very good neighborhood, and the dress is in superb condition. I was surprised I couldn't find anything wrong with it lol! There were no stains, rips, nothing, which is ridiculous considering it's all white. It needs to be ironed though haha
