I was part of the Texas Style Council Conference, including leading the Thrifting Tour on Saturday with fellow bloggers Elissa from Dress with Courage, Jessie of Style and Pepper & Jentine of My Edit.
Despite the torrential rain on Saturday, many bloggers came out and we had two buses full of thrifting enthusiasts! We cut the shopping locations short a bit because of the weather, which gave us way more time to dig through the racks at Savers.
The staff Savers was fabulous, and they greeted us with coffee, snacks and even 20% off coupons! Amazing.
All of us leaders gave a short little speech filled with useful vintage tips. My tips were more of a list of supplies, and many asked to have it, so stay tuned for a little compiled Thrifting 101 Tips guide!
Apparently out tips worked, because everyone went home with amazing finds. At first I was a little scared to share a thrift store with a busload of stylish ladies, for fear fist fights and hair pulling would ensue over an amazing dress or skirt, but everyone was super nice and even helped find things for eachother! Awww. Bloggers unite!
You can see recaps of the events on all of the other ladies' blogs, including more photos!
