Since I sell a lot of what I find, I don&#39;t try things on in the store anymore. I picked up a vintage muumuu dress in Palm Springs not knowing if it fit or not because it&#39;s fish fabric. You can&#39;t so no to a fish dress.

Either I wanted them for myself and it wasn&#39;t a good fit for me or my lifestyle or I knew that someone else would love it and I must get it in that persons hands. The past month has been fruitful with fun little gems that also turned a decent profit on eBay, Poshmark, or Etsy. These are my recent favorites that found new homes.<br> <br> 1.

That&#39;s what inspired today&#39;s thrifted outfit. I usually wear the clothes that fit and and look good on me. I also treat it as a chance to play dress up in outfits that don&#39;t have a place in my lifestyle. Today&#39;s dress up is a vintage jean skirt. Love the style but it&#39;s a bit too small.<br> <br> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://www.thriftanistainthecity.com/" target="_blank"><img alt="thrift style" border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1067" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiXr_M4Vm6wNf8i6K_t7_suQnTvbqFdt4lVwLJMChuty849mEOWXaObouhaUkds6VfKcBfjqr2AfUEsMZJrymQRpSEbTnejX0XywHr5yfBjS4apeaFrBbCf4PjXYmRmouNbXFiYl0aMYhO/s1600/thethriftanista.png" title="thrift-style"></a></div> <br> I&#39;ve had it in my Poshmark closet for a year.

It got a lot of likes but hung out in the Posh closet through all of the seasons without any bites. I actually had three of the same style and two others that were button front flared that all sold. Obviously, I have a thing for jean skirts.<br> <br> </div></div><a href="http://www.thriftanistainthecity.com/2019/04/all-vintage-in-safari-top-and-jean-skirt.html#more">Read more here »</a>Thriftanista in the Cityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08948308753068325315noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2020523209903869002.post-44236771877955341602019-04-12T16:41:00.000-04:002019-04-12T16:41:06.208-04:00<div> <div style="text-align: left;"> I bought a shirt dress on Poshmark that was exactly the style that I turn to in summer. It&#39;s long. It&#39;s cotton. It&#39;s easy to throw on.  Plus, it has pockets. The measurements seemed about right in the description so I took a chance on it. The chest and back area turned out to be too tight. That button at the chest could pop at any second and the one at the waist could go too if I eat a big meal.
