Frugal Finds

I usually don't seem to have a whole lot of luck finding things at the thrift store although I try and go pretty often HOPING it will be my lucky day. Lo and behold, Wednesday was that lucky day I had been waiting on!

I have been eying an over the shoulder handbag but didn't want to pay too much for it. I'd seen ones like these on Anthropologie's and Urban Outfitter's websites. I would never actually pay for one from these stores, but I've been looking on their websites recently and finding items I like, then searching for look-a-likes at either Target or the thrift store (I learned this trick from my lovely sister). It's kind of fun and it helps in the shopping process because you kind of know what you are looking for. (Another side note: My sister is ridiculous at finding clothes or using fabric and designing her own clothes - I'll have to convince her to post some of those outfits soon!)

I really like this purse from Urban Outfitters that retails for $58:

And this one from Anthropologie that retails for a whopping $198:

And this is the beauty I found. It was handmade in Italy with genuine leather and I paid a meager $9.99!! I think it bears a pretty striking resemblance and the price made it perfect.

Happy Thrifting everyone!
