Stylish Petite | Fashion, Reviews and Petite Style: My first successful trip at a thrift store (Savers)

I love the idea of going thrift shopping but have never been able to. Unfortunately, I get severe allergy attacks as soon as I enter any thrift stores or vintage shops. I love the idea of finding vintage items and pieces that no one else has but just have never been able to in the past! We went to 2 Savers thrift stores this past weekend (both of them no where near where I live) and it was the first time in my life, I didn't sneeze! No runny nose, welts, blood shot eyes, and no plugging my nose! It was so clean and organized, I couldn't believe it! I didn't see one loose article of clothing on the floor. All the racks and rows were clearly marked by size and category. I was able to actually "dig" in each row without wanting to kill myself from either the smell or my nose running. I walked out with 2 awesome skirts for work. The first one was a gorgeous Petite Sophisticate navy pencil skirt (almost indentical to my pink one that I have been wearing like crazy).

I almost screeched when I saw the tag said size 0! I could tell that whoever this girl was, she was the exact same size as me because the length and waist were tailored and fit perfectly. The waist measures only 11.5". Not to mention it's fully lined. All for the hefty price tag of $4.99 plus I had 25% off so bringing the grand total to $3.74 with no alterations! I checked the skirt thoroughly for stains, tears, loose/missing buttons and it was in perfect condition! I was so happy! I am dropping it off at the dry cleaners tomorrow! YAY!

The other score was this amazing Ann Taylor deep red wool pencil skirt (picture is not what the color really is). Unfoturnately it's a size 4P but it appears to have been tailored quite a bit because the waist only measures only 12 3/4 which is still too big on me. I will need to tailor the sides and take in the waist but the length is perfect. It's fully lined and in perfect condition! I can totally see me wearing this a lot! The quality is amazing and I didn't even hestitate to buy it. The price tag was $$3.99 plus 25% off for a total of only $2.99. Alterations will run me about $25 which isn't bad for a fully lined and tailored skirt I will wear forever.

Next I found a gold plated vintage Monet (signed) chain statement necklace. It is in such great condition, clasp is perfect, no tarnishing and looks so pretty on. I cannot wait to pair it with something. It was a bit pricey at $7.99 but the 25% coupon helped:)
