I wasn't able to take pictures of people on the streets when I went home for vacation because my camera ran out of batteries. I have the worst luck sometimes.
Instead of wallowing in my sadness, I went out and hit the stores.
Here is a documentation of the items I bought.
Shoes Shoes Shoes!!
Black leather slip-on heels $1.50!
Leather Brazilian pointed flats $4
Crazy 80's slingbacks $2
Blue heels once more $1.50(Blue shoes complete me.)
Purses! Purses! Purses!
Vintage Lord & Taylor bag $6
Vintage Marshall Field's shoulder bag $4(R.I.P. my lovely, lovely store)
Vintage clutch/purse $4.50
1950's shirtwaist dress $4(now I can finally look like a 50's housewife during my leisure times.)
and the best find goes too...
a pair of American Apparel skinny jeans for $14.44!!!!
They usually go for around $70 at the store but I couldn't believe that I found them for only $13.99!!! (14.44 including tax) I got them at Crossroads Trading Co. in Wicker Park, which is a store that sells used clothing. The store was filled with tons of things from Urban Outfitters and American Apparel t-shirts. It felt like they were practically giving them away. I kept asking the sales lady if the price was a joke, but it wasn't!TAKE THAT American Apparel!! Your jeans were priced at a ridiculous amount and I refused to buy them. Everything in that store is pretty much ridiculously priced. All that will-power did pay off at the end. The lesson at the end of the story is: consignment and thrift stores are the only way for college students to shop.

SO TRUE! though for some reason I got a fat check and excessive dark chocolate from my grandmother for Halloween so I'm thinking on splurging on some, say, $50 pixie boots on eBay. haha!
Oh gosh, you found some cute stuff. Now I'm in the mood to go thrifting, but they're all closed by now :(.
