Yard Sale Steals
I love yard sales for two reasons. First, there’s something voyeuristic about people inviting you onto their lawns or into their garages to rifle through their stuff. The second reason I love yard sales is because you just never know when you’re going to hit the junkyard jackpot. This past weekend, a friend and I went to a few sales in my neighborhood. At side-by-side houses on Williamson Street, I scored some fantastic finds. I paid less than $20, total, for this vintage American Tourister carry-on bag, silk Chanel scarf, and–the pièce de résistance–a sparkling, vintage Dior evening bag complete with the original tags. Since I don’t have many occasions for evening wear, I like the idea of wearing it with jeans. It kind of says, “Yeah, I’m fancy. So what?”

Love your finds. I’ve never been as lucky as you though. One day maybe.
Ps. Don’t forget to enter my giveaway! Good luck if you already have!

Thank you! Yes, I designed it myself by customizing a basic WordPress template. A tech-savvy friend (the same one who took the photos above) set up the self-hosting through WordPress.org.
