I love discount stores. I’m certain I have mentioned before that I am addicted to the hunt. I grew up shopping exclusively in thrift stores, Gabriel Brothers, and garage sales/yard sales. The rush I get when I find a gem hidden away in the most unlikely location is a thrill matched by nothing. This look, sans the Fluevog’s, is entirely patched together from those special moments.

Neon Racerback Cutout

Yellow is my favorite color and the only yellow I can put against my skin is neon. Racerbacks are a freeing cut for women with chests and/or backs in larger proportion to their waists. The thin slices between the shoulder blades made this racerback all the more interesting and sexy. I cannot remember if this was a T.J.Maxx or Marshalls find, but it doesn’t matter. It was cheap and is perfect.

Silver Winged Vintage Collar Necklace

I can’t access the memory of finding this sliver winged vintage collar necklace. I know it has been with me for years and I have never again stumbled upon anything quite like it.

Mix ‘N Match Vintage Earrings

Mix ‘N Match Vintage Earrings

I also cannot tell you when the dangle earring entered my life, but the geometric shape earring came from a glorious junk store in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico called Frankie’s. At Frankie’s, Frankie himself will “Take care of you.” This earring was just one of many treasures I brought home from Frankie’s but there are so many others I sadly left behind. His store is THE Caribbean destination for my inner huntress.

Kerchief Side Split Pants

Side split may not be the most accurate way to describe these perfect-for-air-conditioning-in-the-summer and comfortable as pj’s pants. They basically have a wrap leg situation happening that makes for amazing movement and show-a-little-skin surprises. Again, a T.J.Maxx or Marshalls deal never again seen anywhere else in my travels.
