just warning you, when you get into the zone, you may forget about your belongings and end up burying it. and plus, you want to be hands free!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">3. no need to think twice. because of the price, and the fact that there's prob gonna be 3 other girls eyeing what you found, just throw it in your bag. first instincts are there for a reason!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">4. don't worry about sizing. there's nothing a skinny belt, a pair of scissors, or needle & thread can't do. the yellow dress I found had these grandma sleeves on them, but I loved the rest of the dress so much that I just cut the seams off. now it's an amazing sleeveless summer dress!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">5. DETAILS! DETAILS! DETAILS! buttons, sequins, fabric, inner lining...if all are still in tact, you definitely got lucky! like the floral cardigan and yellow dress I found, it had all its glass buttons in tact and I was so happy. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">6. have fun! vintage thrifting is meant for you to find one-of-a-kind items. mix and match with your regular clothes & you're sure to get compliments. nothing beats knowing that you're the ONLY one who has what you found. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">7. if you have allergies, TAKE SOME MEDICINE! you are, after all, sitting on a pile of dusty clothes, but don't let that discourage you! :)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">photo'd above: 2 summer dresses, pleated floral skirt, floral crop jacket, & faux fur coat. </div><div style="text-align: left;">not photo'd: michelle's tweed jacket & striped top.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">all = $11</div>
