You guys have gotten to know me pretty well, so when I say these vintage-inspired mustard heels are my favorite thrift find of all time, you know I'm serious.

I was about to leave Goodwill empty-handed when I decided to look through housewares. I found these heels lying behind picture frames on a lower shelf. I'm guessing somebody had hid them and was planning to come back for them... which was a risky, amateur move. Two things you should never leave unattended around me: cute shoes and french fries.

Pin It!

    I absolutely adore that jacket! (although I'll be honest, anything yellow I love)!
    And I'll admit - I've definitely made that move before...hiding something in a completely different section from where it belongs.

  38. Oh I know, Megan. I once was looking for thrift shirts for my husband and I came upon a darling blue and striped cotton skirt from the GAP. It was only $3 by the time I applied a 20% off coupon. Oh ya, I snatched it right up. There was going to be a 50% off sale the next day and someone had stashed it in the men's shirts. Great plan, unless a gal is shopping for her man. I love that skirt. I wear it year round I have a post on it "Couture Mode" of a few weeks ago. View? Your mustard shoes are so hot and I am so glad you discovered the stash. That has happened to me oh ya, more than once. Every time I find something in the wrong part of the store. Oh ya.

    Wow, your shoes and your jacket are perfect together. Your outfit is a thoughtful example of working in the same colour value. Bravo!

    Okay, so here's a thrifting etiquette question. I don't think it's very cool to hide clothing, and if I stumble upon something obviously misplaced, I often pull it out so that the stockers can put it back where it belongs. Is that uncool?

  40. *clapping* great find! I'm sure that'll teach that risky thrifter. I am so glad you got these--they are too cute!

  41. Oooh, I like that floral top. All the colors in this outfit go together perfectly. Lucky you with those shoes - they are quirky and classy. They seriously look brand new. You have the best luck thrifting!!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Wow, awesome thrift find! And I love them with this outfit too - the black tights really make them pop!

    ReplyDelete
  43. As I scrolled through the pictures all I could think was "Dang! Those are great shoes!" Great thrift find for sure!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Wow great find! I feel sorry for the person who was going to come back for them haha! Love the mustard and pink combo :)

  45. My eyes flew right to those fabulous shoes! I have massive shoe envy now. I wish I could find shoes when I thrift. You don't come across many pairs of size 11s and if you do, there is a 50% chance they look like nurse shoes. Love the whole outfit!

    ReplyDelete
  46. Everything about this outfit is amazing. You have the best thrift finds!

  47. I agree, I don't think it's cool to hide stuff throughout the store to purchase later... which is why I really didn't feel bad buying these shoes and potentially "taking" someone else's find. I must admit I am guilty of hiding an item or two in the men's section in the past - but it was only to run to the ATM :D

    ReplyDelete
  48. Oh. My. Gosh. I cannot wait to go shopping with you! Those shoes are too awesome. What kind of idiot would even try to hide those babies?!?

  49. WHAT? You must have the best Goodwill EVAR! I never find such lovely gems in mine!

  63. people hide things?! HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS. I wonder where the best place to hide things are. Apparently not the bottom shelf of housewares...

    ReplyDelete
  64. SCORE!! Silly amateur....I'm not even an avid thrift shopper and I know not to do that! I'd like to think someone put them there just for you to find :-)

    Love your skirt too.

  65. Hehehehe :) Your posts always lift up my mood - and outfits too! I've been home sick for couple days now and this was exactly what I needed to read & see. And made me miss going thrifting quite bad x
