A Thrift store Romp!

Hello Our Lovely Shipmates!!


Happy New year! We are coming to you today with our first of many Thrift store romps! Yes your friendly neighborhood  captains where mosying around town and did a little shopping for your enjoyment. now this first trip we  thought we would show you our favorite place to go for all the flashy budget friendly digs you know us for! that place is Superior Thrift Store! this place is the bees-neez and our go to spot where we never leave empty handed, its by far the best place to go for something amazing. 

We walked in with the flexable rules on our minds,

  • We set our budgets
Your Swag Queen Cherry started with a budget of : 6

Your Swag Queen Lolita started   with a budget of: 17$

naturally we where off from there, shopping with in the confined of a budget isn't the easiest thing to do but again it forces you to see the real need in your decor, wardrobe, or what ever you are there for. but we did manage to have fun with it all...there is Lolita striking a pose in the dressing room, believe it or not her doing silly poses between the too small dresses was historical. yes we laughed at how some dresses didn't fit us both and here is the picture of all the fun we where having! Even though countless dresses stroke out or just didn't wow us  there was swag to be had! we came away with a few little treasures that where worth the trip.

This was one of our lighter trips, we thought that we should take it slow this first go around. Though we took it easy this was in no means not a fruitful trip, there was much to be said about the discriminating eye of a girl with tight purse strings.
 In Cherry's Basket of goodies: 
  • A Vintage Night gown set complete with gown and robe for 1.99$ 
  • A dark red dress, with pleated skirt and long sleeves prime for a little rehab (more on that later!) for 1.99$
  • A Wicker handbag for 99 cents  
 In Lolita's Basket of goodies: 
  • A Floral sweetheart top for  1.99$
  • A white vintage slip & a navy vintage slip for  99 cents a piece.
  •  A Hawaiian top for  2.99$
  •  A col bolt blue high waist skirt with side pockets for 3.99$
  • A Black scarf with stars and crescent moon's (that Lolita said reminded her of sailor moon) for 1.99$
On target and under budget, we where pretty spot on with Lolita being the under budget winner in this trip. There you have it lovely readers our first Thrift store round up, more on the rehab of efforts for some of the garments if needed. Cherry promises to do a rehab tutorial's for clothing and other things we find handy in  thrift store...yay for DIY fun! 

we will catch you later!!!
