Thrifting Haul - Spring Inspired

So I haven't been doing as much thrifting and yard sale hopping as I'd like to (dumb full-time job work schedule -- curse you!), but although they are few and far between, I have found some real gems.

Find #1:



I picked up this cute little needlepoint shoulder bag for $3.50. I reminds me of the old-fashioned needlepoint handbags (like this) but with a more rustic pattern. I don't think it is vintage, in fact it seems quite new. But, hey, at $3.50, I'm down with that.

Find #2:



I also found this cute watermelon-esque polka-dot scarf for $1.  It needs pressed, but I think this will help me add some color to my work outfits. I tend to slide into either too much black or too much beige at work.

Find #3:



I am totally enamoured with this high contrast 90s Gitino cross-body. $2 from a church thrift store in the next town over.

Find #4:



This poor bag is a little worse for wear, but I still love it. It's a 1960s pillbox handbag from an awesome vintage boutique in Harrisburg called the Atomic Warehouse. The owner gave me a good deal on it: $10! I have seen these only a handful of times, and usually priced at $30 to $60!

Find #5:



This skirt has side pockets and buttons up the front. I found this for $3.50. Not sure if this will become part of my skirt collection or if it will end up on etsy. I need to give it a test run. I have an outfit concept in mind, but I am not sure if I'll be venturing too far on the granny side. I was inspired by this:



 

Don't worry, there's plenty more to share! Stay tuned, thrifters.
