 Wearing Missoni Inspired Jumper from Fallas Paredes, a shaggy shrug from T and Showroom

When the thrift stores are closed, I shop anywhere else where I can save a buck and still get chic clothes. My bf and I took a trip to Fallas Paredes outlet store this weekend. As some of you know Fallas is known to be supppper ghetto. But nonetheless I always find some really chic pieces amongst the craziness. Shopping at Fallas reminds me of shopping at a thrift store a) because it's always a cluster fuck of clothes, b) the prices are pretty amazing and c) digging through clothes upon clothes just to find that one piece you'll be in complete love with. I'll be posting a haul of what I bought soon along with outfit posts. YAY!!!!! 

Life on Instagram

INSTAGRAM has taken over my life!!!! 

Yes it's true. I find myself more and more involved on Instagram. I prefer Instagram over Tumblr and Facebook. What's not to love?!? You follow people you love or people you want to know and catch a glimpse of what their life looks like. (stalker!!!haha) Instagram is definitely a great source for inspiration. 

Be a lover on Instagram and follow me Kelly_is_Love.

Iridescent

I'm definitely more of an iridescent kinda girl. My friend Kiki once gave me a spirit animal of a chameleon and my best friend Geisha calls me Rainbow. When i was a tween friends called me Punky. A chameleon is probably the best spirit animal for me. 

It totally replicates my style.

Then you know I LOVE TO THRIFT!!!!!!

I've been known to spend a whole paycheck on thrifting, I've also been known to skip meals and sleep to thrift. Nothing is more close to my heart than shopping at a thrift store. Here are my top tips in vintage buying and thrift shopping. 

HAPPY Thrifting!

-Tip 1: Wear a full skirt, so you can try on pants, skirts and shorts under it. (most times fitting rooms are unavailable)

-Tip 2: Watch for the daily specials – certain color tags means certain discounts

-Tip 3: make sure to eat before thrifting (shopping under hunger is never fun!!!)

-Tip 4: pace yourself you could get really distracted

-Tip 5: always bring cash, sometimes sales associates won’t charge you tax.

Remember when shopping with a buddy all thrift rules apply!
That means if your girlfriend finds something you like, sorry finders keepers. But sharing is caring.

-Tip 6:  I suggest going to thrift stores alone!!! or with a boy who is a friend and knows your style, Because two extra eyes is better than none.
