Hey Guys! So, my friend Alli is obsessed with thrift shopping. Half of her outfit in this photo is from the DAV. So who better to show me the ropes of turning second hand into something fresh and cute? Our goal in this thrift shopping endeavor was to purchase a 50s inspired dress to wear to an upcoming formal. We realize that most people will be wearing dresses that were made in this century but we wanted to wear something different and we are in love with the 50s style. Alli and I went to a total of 3 thrift shops before they all closed for the night. Enjoy these photos I snapped on our adventure and enjoy Alli's adorable face.
I'm thinking of doing an experiment with Alli where we got thrift shopping once a week for a few months and just search for treasures. I've heard of really cool things people find like elephant ivory and Kate spade purses. Let me know in the comments below if you would like to see this.
I've also been in major cleaning mode and took a full black trash bag to the GoodWill full of clothes I don't wear anymore. With all this time in the summer this is the perfect time to go through your closet and donate what you don't wear.

As you can see Alli and I had a ton of fun trying on many different dresses and items of clothing. We did purchase some dresses so come back to see what we end up wearing to the formal!
