Yay, it’s thrift haul time again and this time I’m asking for your help! But before we get to that, let’s start with the haul. This month, I had two opportunities to go thrifting – the first time I found one sweater, and the second haul was a little more exciting. Let’s check them out.
Land’s End Drifter cardigan, $5.99
Here’s the first sweater I thrifted. It’s a Land’s End Drifter sweater, which my research led me to believe that “Drifter” is their brand that is specifically 100% cotton sweaters. Which is exactly why I picked this up! I’ve been trying to add more natural fiber sweaters to my closet and this 100% cotton version is the perfect amount of chunky, but not super oversized. I’ve already worn this a few times and I LOVE it!
Smokey Bear Bandana, $1
This vintage bandana was too adorable to pass by. Based on internet research and hand-feel, it appears to be cotton/linen and could have been printed anywhere from the 1960’s – 1990’s. I just think it’s awfully cute, so I had to have it. I’m not sure if I’m going to wear it in my hair/around my neck, tie it on the handle of a purse, or just put it somewhere and admire it. But it’s much more than $1 of happiness, so I’m calling it a win.
MCM California Pottery 2-tier tray, $4.49
You guys, I am OBSESSED with this yellow swirly tray. It has the makers mark “MH 73 USA” on the bottom and rather than meaning 1973, it appears that this is a California Pottery MCM tray from the 1950’s or 1960’s. Which is no surprise, because I LOVE MCM pottery and décor. My initial thought was that this will end up in my office, because it looks so cute with my wallpaper, but it may move around the house a bit before it finds it’s home.
Okay, now the fun part – I picked up both of these dresses over the weekend, which means I have 7 days to decide if I’m keeping them or if they will be returned. I did a little styling video here that you can check out if you’d like to help me decide:
Nordstrom Rack linen dress, $14.99
The first is this linen dress with a drawstring waist from Nordstrom Rack. It still has the Nordstrom Rack tags attached (with the price ripped off), so it’s brand new. I found it on their website and it looks like it was sold the summer of 2022. Anyways, It’s super soft linen and I really like the drawstring waist. I’m thinking this can be a good addition to my closet for summer weekend wear and for work with a cardigan. So, leaning towards keeper for this one.
Soft Surroundings wrap dress, $19.99
This one I need your help with! It’s a wrap dress from Soft Surroundings and it is nice and swishy with pockets. I don’t love the beading on the neckline, but I’m thinking if I keep the dress I may just remove it. I also styled this one in the video. Let me know if you think I should keep it or return it for someone else to enjoy!
