Shopping
Filed in: Fashion, Handbags, Secondhand, Shoes, Shopping
It felt like forever since I made any good secondhand finds. This is probably a little because I’ve spent the last two weeks indoors and a little because thrift shopping has it’s natural ups and downs. Today however I did one great buy; a pair of real snakeskin heels. Since I need brown heels I also bought the tannish brown leather heels, and since I was on a roll I grabbed the quilted leather handbag as well. They priced two of the items too low because the price tags were missing and the last had a price tag but they overlooked it so I got it cheaper as well. Is it alarming that I know better how the pricing works in that particular store than the people that work there? Of course I kept my mouth shut.

I love thrifting and it’s always nice when they price things too low. I just got a great wool coat in bright teal for 20USD. The bag is great & so are all the shoes.

Thanks all of you! I’ve been looking forever for a pair of authentic snakeskin heels.
C, Jeg var pÃ¥ Den Røde TrÃ¥d i Møllegata. Den ligger litt avsides sÃ¥ det er ikke sÃ¥ mange som handler der. Negativt for de som driver butikken for de vurderer Ã¥ flytte, men positivt for meg…

Ååå…den veska der var et kupp, Agathe! :D Hotte ruter, noe a la de Stella McCartney har med i sin vÃ¥rvisning.

Hilde, hehe, takk for infoen! Jeg kunne faktiske ikke huske å ha sett noe sånt denne sesongen, så skal sjekke igjen.
Fashion.faux.pas, takk!
Siewkwan, the shoes are very very old. The soles and the heels are leather as well, but still they look like they are hardly worn and in great shape. Sometimes vintage shoes like that just fall appart. I hope it doesn’t happen to these.
