What I Wore >> Garage Sale Shopping 101

After writing todays' Garage Sales 101 post I thumbed through my Instagram feed (@gingerbreadblog) and was totally able to point out every thrifted article of clothing I had on in each outfit! I'm pretty sure I can also tell you how much I paid for every.single.thing. I thought with your new tips and tricks you might want to see examples of the sorts of things I buy along the way, so here we go. A reverse shop my closet, I'm going to show you what I bought!
Pants- Target (Clearance)
Reef Flip Flops- Garage Sale
J Crew Dress Shirt- Garage Sale
L.A.M.B Bag- Garage Sale (I know, it was $20)
Sunnies- Dollar Store Craft (tutorial HERE)

Pants- Kohls (I have a big booty, so I have to try pants on)
Sandals- Thrifted
Sweater- Thrifted

Glasses- Vender at Fisherman's Wharf in San Fransisco (mind you they were $3)
Denim Guess Shirt- Garage Sale ($1)
White T- Walmart (and I bought it recently, so if you need great t-shirts with some length go get some)

Shopping at garage sales is definitely a passion of mine, and I hope to inspire you to try it out. There's no reason you can't save money and look great at the same time!

These are all really cute!! I can't believe you scored that great denim shirt for $1.00!! That's awesome!! I hardly ever look at clothes when shopping at yard sales. Maybe I should start!

Seriously love your garage sale fashion. I just posted a hat and jacket I got from a garage sale last week! I host a linkup called Diaries of A Bargainista every Wednesday - would love for you to join in on the fun since it looks like you love bargains as much as I do!

I've never purchased clothes at a garage sale. What do you do about trying stuff on? Or do you just take a leap of faith and if it doesn't work out you just cut your losses?
