When I Use It: “I don’t wear it often (I am terrified I will destroy it, as I am not gentle on my clothes), but I have worn it on a few special occasions, namely dates, and a job interview at a vintage store.”
Shopping Tips: “Don’t be scared to get your hands dirty, and go through everything! Leave no corner unturned, even the boys section. The feeling of a treasure hunt is what brings me back to the shops every time—and you never know where the treasure will be hidden!”

I’m the same with my clothes–I wear them to their death.
Love that shirt! That’s exactly how I feel about thrifting, and it makes it that much more exciting when you do find something cool.

what a find! i don’t wear my super old stuff that often either; one dress is literally coming apart, though i do wear it from time to time. (i guess it’s part of its charm!)
Such an adorable find! My family has an old dress of my grandma’s from the 1930′s and we were only ever allowed to wear it for relatives when we were little. (This was definitely really wise of my parents, ’cause I know I wanted to wear it all the time, but I most likely would’ve killed it.) It’s a gorgeous family antique though. :)
