Shoe Porn - Cooperative Blue Suede Boots

Blue Suede Wedges Cooperative via Urban Outfitters

According to Wikipedia, the art of thrifting can be described as such:

Thrifting refers to the act of shopping at a thrift store, flea market, garage sale, or a shop of a charitable organization, usually with the intent of finding interesting items at a cheap price.

To me, it can be so much more than that. Being thrifty can also mean that you're a queen at finding great bargain in the most unexpected places. Being thrifty about fashion doesn't end where regular retail store begin. I've come to pride myself about being able to find good deals everyone and even find some fashion gems in the most surprising places. The key to it all is to never judge a book (ie. store front) by it's cover (ie. image), it's all about making your own which is why I believe you should never buy for the brand/name but for the item itself. 

Know when to shop where, what to buy where and I swear your closet and wallet will thank you for it. 

These lovely blue suede shoes (!) I got at Urban Outfitters when they were having a 50% off all shoes already on sale. At 9.99, they were a no-brainer buy. They'll be perfect with little summer dresses and skinny jeans and a nice change from my usual black shoes. I also got 2 more pairs during this shopping trip that I can't wait to share with you. One is the perfect disco queen platform while the other is a statement basics (and you know how much I enjoy those!!). 

Have a great day lovelies
