Here's a Thrifty Thursday find I haven't taken off since finding it last week. Judge alllll you want, but I'm in LOVE with this acid wash jacket. I've been loving the resurgence of the denim jacket--it's probably my 90s childhood calling my name. I knew I wasn't going to buy an expensive new one because there are plenty, and I mean PLENTY, of perfectly glorious denim jackets to be found at the thrift store.
This particular beauty was $2. It was half off day at Savers, and I kind of went crazy. I have no shame. Also, here's a pro tip for you. If you sign up for the Super Savers club, you can shop half off sales a day early. Yeah baby!
Paired with this delicious 90s floral print dress from ModCloth, I felt like I was going to head to my BFF's house for a night of 90210 and the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. Would it be ok if I wish that really happened? I do.
PS--since when was there rain in January? So weird. Also, my shoes were completely filled with water after that jump. WORTH IT!
Elsewhere on the thrifting block, Leah from Superstition Vintage found these three $5 finds:
Wildly jealous of those moccs! Did you find something awesome out and about on your thrifting excursions this week? Was it $5 or under and you’re dying to shout it from a mountain top? Send it over to amymorby(at)gmail(dot)com, and I’ll feature you here on another edition of $5 Thrifty Thursday!
Aw, love that jacket - what a great score! And the shoes & dress are beautiful, love this gorgeous outfit!! And jumping in rain puddles?! Totally worth it. xo V
Soooo...first off....you look adorable in that jacket! Secondly, I too bought that dress, except mine is now trashed. Apparently my enormous arms didn't want it to stay in one piece and it ripped under BOTH underarm areas. On the bright side...I'm keeping it to style as a skirt.
Thanks for the Savers club tip and I love the acid wash.
That dress is so cute. Love the collar detail! An thanks for jumping in the puddle to get an awesome picture! I know wet shoes suck.
that jacket is awesome! and the shoes look like a great find too!
I seriously need to learn how to thrift. I'm hiding my head in shame for buying a denim jacket for like $50 from UO.
nice jacket and awesome dress! you look great!
Oh my goooodness, I love your pairing of that floral dress with the sick jacket you found! 90's forever.
I absolutely love that Modcloth dress! The jacket makes me laugh (although your rock it) because I remember having one when I was a teenager that was passed down to me from my father who wore it when HE was a teenager. Talk about vintage. ;p I really should have kept it but I think my mum defiled it in an attempt to make it more 'girly' by sewing some kind of colorful trim on it.
Anyway, very cute outfit!
to cute lady, and i love your dress!
Gosh your adorable....and i'm still waiting for the day I can thrift some moccasins in my size!
I love that jacket and you look freaking adorable!

I totally thought "That outfit is SO old school 90210 and I love it". Love that you thought it too!
I would LOVE to have a 90210 and wine date with you. Can you just come to SF already? Please?!?!
The jumping into a puddle photo is awesome! It made me smile

Cheyeah! Love it! We missed our thrifting this week....
amy, that jacket is amazing! it reminds me of watching 'saved by the bell' and making up dance routines with my cousins like lisa turtle, jessie spano and kelly kapowski. leggings and slouch socks and lovely floral prints. the best of 'back in the day'.
So fun and cute! I'm so reminiscent of the 90's, so I totally feel ya girl. I got the most perfect t-strap heels while thrifting the other day, but they were $6.99. And thanks for the Savers tip!

I've never seen acid washed rocked so effectively!
I love that rain won't stop you from taking photos! I usually pack my camera away if it is raining. I think you just inspired me. <3
That jacket is awesome!!
I've been watching 90210 reruns as of late, so I'm totally in a denim-jacket state of mind...lol. I had a bedazzled one, myself. Oh yeah!
I've finally realised who you remind me of! You look just like Lily Allen, especially with your hair tied up! Please take that as a compliment, I think she's ace
Ahh That's a fabulous compliment! Thank you so much. I love Lily. I wish she'd come back with another album.
Oh my goodness, we are dress twins!!
I wore mine here: http://koi-story.blogspot.com/2012/01/in-with-new...
I love seeing bloggers with similar/the same clothes at me and see how differently things can be styled! I love those pretty flats, and that denim jacket is definitely awesome!
