Wednesday Wanderings: Leaving Things Behind...

There you are standing in the middle of the aisle at your favorite thrift store holding up a "maybe" and giving it the once over...once again.  Something about it is calling your name, but will it work with the rest of your closet?  Do you already have a similar item at home?  Do you really love it or are you just hoping it will work?  If you've been a thrifter for very long, you know what I'm talking about.  When you're shopping in a store filled with one of a kind items, it's a little hard to leave something behind because there is no guarantee it will be there tomorrow.  And even if it is, there is no guarantee you'll even be able to find it.

I posted photos of my last trip to Bargains & More last Wednesday.  While there, I had tried on this leopard skirt and it was a "maybe" for next fall.  But I was in the mood for Spring, I wasn't sure I wanted a dry clean only skirt and it was a tiny bit shorter than my usual skirts, so I left it behind.

Wouldn't you know it, that weekend I was walking by a store and there in the window was a leopard skirt styled with a bright lemon yellow top.  The yellow really popped against the leopard.  I love wearing yellow.  Then I remembered the skirt.

The next Monday I headed back to Bargains & More and checked out the skirt rack.  No leopard skirt.  I asked at the desk...she pilfered around for a moment...and found my leopard skirt!

I also found two scarves I really liked so it was a profitable trip.

The one on the left is yellow and brown, two colors I like to wear.  The colorful floral on the right would go well with a color blocked look.

This week's finds:
Leopard skirt, $4
Bright graphic floral scarf, $1
Yellow/brown scarf, $1
