You know you’re a “thrifter”…
… if you have ever said out loud, or thought any of these things to yourself:
“I like it, but it’s not the right color for the color tag special.”
“Ooo, all it needs is a coat of spray paint!”
“This will go great in my {insert word here} collection.”
“It’s not the cutest, but it’s VINTAGE. I must have it.”
I had an epiphany last night after a day of thirfting.
I, BreAnna, am a hardcore thrifter.
And I tell myself some pretty ridiculous things to justify my purchases. I need to know that I’m not the only crazy one out there… where my fellow thrifter sisters at? (hey, I kinda like that hehe)
I always tell myself I am going to send ill fitting items to the tailor…and I never do. And then the items get re-donated after a few months. So, I pretty much donate a few dollars to the thrift store every so often.

Yes! I am so guilty of that, too. Hey, we're helping out the community with our donations, right? 🙂
I am definitely a fellow thrifter! I've said ALL of those things! Love it. 🙂
Love it. I'm a fellow thrifter, but I sadly haven't been able to visit many places since we've moved to Tampa. 🙁 SOON. Haha!
Thanks for linking up with us! ♥

Oh you are so not alone! I'm a fellow thrifter as well, and I definitely justify most of my purchases, and sometimes (ok most times) they are not even as rational as yours are!
you are not alone. going thrifting and not paying 50% off? ill get it next week! I am your newest follower! I cannot wait to read more of your posts and hope that maybe you can return the favor and follow my preppy blog. I always comment for every comment left on my page and hope to start a friendly relationship with your wonderful blog!
EXACTLY! lol
I wouldn't even feel the need to justify my purchases if I didn't visualize “the look” my hubby gives me any time he hears me say, “well, I went thrift store shopping today…”
So true! Glad to know I'm in good company 🙂
Not many thrift stores there, huh? I feel really lucky to live 20 min from a city with 3 awesome thrift stores.
It's so funny the similarities that us “thrifters” have, isn't it? lol
I'm right here with ya! lol I have a section on my blog devoted to my thrift store finds! It's called “Thrift Scores” clever right!?

just yesterday i wouldn't buy something because it was the wrong color tag. i felt like an idiot but i couldn't justify it haha.
SO CLEVER! lol
Don't feel bad, I do that ALL THE TIME. And then I ask myself, “How cheap am I that I can't pay FULL PRICE at a thrift store?” lol
great share … waw
