There are a lot of items I'm proud to say that I have found while thrifting, but these leather boots are definitely one of my proudest finds. I picked them up at the Gig Harbor Goodwill of all places about two years ago. I remember I stopped to pick up a pair of cheap throwaway shoes because I had worn the wrong shoes to go to a show in. They were tall, uncomfortable and just entirely inappropriate for a concert where I'd be standing for a good 3-4 hours. So when I stumbled upon these beauties in the bin that hadn't even been put on the shelves yet, it was a sign from a higher power that they had to be mine.
Along with the boots, the top came from the Gig Harbor Goodwill, just a simple t-shirt with mint stripes. My sweater and skirt are a couple other great finds - two of many from Urban Xchange down in Tacoma. It's definitely one of my favourite thrift stores to scour, because it is so picky that there really isn't as much junk to dig through. However, because the selection is so small, there aren't a lot of options for my size 10 self. Thankfully, this sweater came from the men's section.
