My favorite season is here! Hot chocolate, boots, and oversized jackets. To the left are pictures of currently the outerwear that I’ve been pulling frequently out of my closet. Both from a thrift store named Buffalo Exchange. Buffalo is a thrift store that sells mostly name brand items and vintage clothing. The first oversized denim jacket is originally from Saks 5th, while the Tokyo letterman is from Zara. What’s your favorite oversized jacket or sweater?

It hit me earlier this week that... Halloween is here!!! I want to show you some of the house decor that you can easily make at home. So, all my Halloween decor was made by myself or purchased in dollar store. Image by Sarah via Thriftydecorchicks These jars are from target for 25 cents each, and for the spooky label, you can find anything that you like online (the creepier the better! ) and print them out, then stick to your jars. The liquid inside are just water and add few drops of ink, it can be green, red, purple... there you go, you have your cute little potions now. Image by Sarah via Thriftydecorchicks I went to Party City for some Halloween decor ideas and found that those little tombstones were so popular, however, they are retailed for about 10-20 dollars each depending on the sizes, which I thought was too much for me. After that, I went to Dollar Tree near my house and discovered the similar decor, which was only for  5.99 dollars, however, the...

It’s the layering season again! The weather has been changing a lot lately in Boston. It would be so warm at day but freezing at night. I always have trouble choosing the right outfit L . I’m either wearing too much or less. However, here is my savior – denim jackets! It’s my go-to! I love wearing it with a dress and my Dr. Martens boots. I have a few denim jackets with other different colour wash but this one is my favourite. This denim jackets I’m wearing is from Buffalo Exchange. I got it a few weeks ago with a deal of $19.99. Does anyone else find it hard to find a good black washed denim jacket? I actually spent a long time looking for one that fit me well. This jacket is a little oversized, and the colour is a little lighter in real life. There is also a small white stain residue w at the left pocket but I don’t mind it at all.  I believe this jacket will stay with me for a looooong time! -Z-

Jeans are definitely one of my favorite things to thrift. They never really go out of style, and any small damages can easily be repaired with a small cost. But sometimes you don’t even have to be bothered by those minor wears and tears on the jeans as they are often unnoticeable or even seem intentional. Most of my vintage jeans are from Buffalo Exchange in Harvard Avenue (because they have fitting room!). It is a little bit tricky when it comes to thrifting jeans. You have to keep an eye on the details. For instant, the waist, the thigh room, and the stretchiness. When thrifting jeans, I always prefer jeans that with loose relaxed fit instead of skinny, and I usually won’t bother by the inseams as I can always cut it shorter as I want it to be. Well, let me show you guys some of my favorite jeans I got from thrift stores! These pair of Levi’s jeans are my recent found. Even though they are a little bigger in size, they were on a price tag of just $38 if I’m not mistak...

     So yesterday, October 18th, I had my very first experience shopping at the thrift wear store, which is called "2ND Time Around". The store is located in 219 Newbury St, Boston, MA 02228, and the store is all about used, vintage style, and thrift wear, which is an amazing place for all thrift fashion lovers.      I went to check this place out with my roommate Nan, and pleased to have her modeling for my thrifty fashion Haul. So we both love a vintage style of fashion, and I spent approximately $340 on all seven items. It may seems a lot for used items, however I did get myself seven pieces including some high end designer brands.          I got this jacket for about 30 dollars, which was originally priced in 160 dollars, it is an Australian brand that is called Still. It is a classic check patterned coat that would go well with any color. Also I recently noticed that the check pattern has just got back on trend fo...

Tonight I had the pleasure of going to the Garment District in Cambridge. On Broadway street in Kendall Square, the store is only a walk away from the T and you can't miss its signature pink and black paint. I walked in and the first thing I see is a life size silver horse and I'm thinking to myself "What kinda s ...". This was in the By The Pound section of the store. There are three levels to this store; By The Pound(yes literally thats how they're selling clothes), Boston Costume and The Garment District.              It may be a little overwhelming but it is instantly addicting as you go through all the store has to offer. All the sport jackets and jerseys and sweaters and coats, you get my point here. I honestly don't think I could make a confident purchase within the timeframe that I was there. There is so much fire in this store, on all levels. Their website details just how wide of a variety they offer: ...
