Ten must-have items you can find at any thrift store
Forget shopping at your favorite department store this weekend; that thrift shop down the street has everything you need to be fabulous this season. Consider adding these ten items to your must-have list for spring 2013.
1. Denim button-up shirt
Long sleeve, button-up shirts are versatile pieces that should be a part of any wardrobe. Dress it up by tucking it into a flouncy skirt and adding a chunky necklace or dress it down by pairing it with a pair of floral printed jeans, flats and a solid colored scarf.
2. Flouncy polka-dotted skirt
One of the must-have pieces for spring is a short, polka dot skirt. Mix these dots with stripes or other patterns or play it safe with a colored solid.
3. Bold vintage dress
You’ll be the star of the sidewalk with this classic dress. Wear it with a floppy hat, 1920s inspired necklace and over-sized sunglasses for a polished, yet casual look.
4. Black and white printed skirts
Black and white isn’t just only reserved for film noir. This season, it’s everywhere: on the runway, magazines and red carpet events. Add some zebra hues to your closet and wear with head-to-toe black and white or spice it up with your favorite jewel tone.
5. Colorful scarves
Gorgeous, lightweight scarves can either be worn wrapped around your head with aviator sunglasses or draped over your shoulders for a glamorous swimsuit cover up.
6. Pastel vintage dress
Pick up your very own pastel-colored vintage dress to wear over a bikini or paired with a classy belt and bold baubles. No matter your style, a plain dress can be dressed up or down in an instant.
7. Crossover bags
Looking for a new carry-all? Pick up a bag that can be worn across the body. Not only do these bags hold all of your purse items, but they are easy to wear.
8. Short paisley dress
As you’re scouring the thrift racks, you discover a dress that is too short but still adorable. Consider buying it as a beach cover-up for spring break.
9. Bright carry-alls
When it comes to purses this season, the brighter the better. Try picking up a bright jewel-tone bag to pair with your black and white outfits.
10. Strappy heels
Whether they are black, tan, brown or cinnamon red, strappy heels are hot for this season. Wear them with a dressy outfit or with capris and a colorful shirt.
I have saved lots shopping at thrift stores. Great post!
Great finds! Particularly love the pastel vintage dress, the strappy heels and the big bold dress 🙂

I love the pastel dress, I wish I could come across one at some of our local thrift stores. No luck yet, but I’m still looking!
