gee I think you're swell

It is very hard for me to go home for the weekend and not shop. Richmond has some of the best shopping in Virginia. For Carry town (Need Supply, American Apparel, Bygones) to Short Pump (J.Crew, Urban Outfitters, South Moon Under). I have to fight my self to keep my wallet full.
So when I went home on Monday for a doctors appointment, my willpower and I had an all out brawl. I packed my bags Sunday night with the intentions of going to Plato's closet to may some money, then hit up Urban. But when I got home, and began to consider my finances I decided against the shopping spree. I'm trying to save money for New York City in December, and for Christmas presents. The fight was neither successful or unsuccessful. I didn't go to Plato's or Urban, but I couldn't help stopping by the local thrift store. Mechanicsville (my hometown) does one thing right. We have the best Goodwill in the state. It's clean, cheap and ever changing. Here are some of my scores from my Monday thrifting adventure.


Found this beautiful Moda New York cardigan hanging on the unwanted rack by the fitting room. Look at the beautiful detailing. It looks brand new!
Then I found this awesome boyfriend blazer. I don't know the brand, but its pretty old and in good condition. Lately I've been staying away from the blazer section, because I think the boyfriend blazer trend is getting a little played out, but for a unique one like this I could help it. You can't tell from this picture but its a really light material. Not bulky in shape, is fits the body. Its got a golden sheen with a great swirling pattern.
