Ha! I'm solemnly swear I'm telling the truth when I say today I almost wore a thrifted velvet dress under a wool blazer. I ended up changing before leaving to school b/c the outfit was way too hot! Only difference, the dress was blue velvet.

thanks! The main one that I thrift at is the Value Village in Hyattsville. Its organized and clean. You also have places like Annie Creamcheese for designer vintage and accessories. I also attend flea markets, I used to go to the one that in the parking lots of RFK stadium a lot but I haven't been recently. I just found out about ReRun, a new shop that opened literally down the street from me in Takoma Park (http://rerunvintage.com) so I'm going to check that out.

You can also check out this thrift shop directory in here. http://www.thethriftshopper... - Just enter your zip code and it lists all the local ones.

AMAZING. I think this is easily the best outfit I've seen you wear! I've always loved velvet, think it runs over from my goth days, haha.

Damn, that dress is the bomb.
I almost thrifted a blue velvet dress today, but opted for a long black velvet skirt instead.

you know what, those shoes are the MOST uncomfortable pair of heels that i own. i need to find another pair of cute black lace up booties to take their place b/c those are the worst.

Just to show how behind the times I am, I never thought to wear velvet as an adult. Last time I wore a velvet dress was when I was 12 but it was my fav dress so maybe that's sayin somethin! Time to try new things, lol. Anyways - you look great! =)
