My thrift find cowboy boots and belt


My new and hopefully bolder look (I've had long hair since I was 10 years old) was crying for a pair of mean cowboy boots. I got lucky and came across a vintage pair in a downtown market place for $8!! These would have cost over $100 new or at a more upscale vintage store but my keen little eye spotted them out quickly amongst a whole bunch of pairs of ratty converse on the bottom shelf.
No hesitation there, I scored the rest of the store (nothing that caught my eye other then some old rock Ts which I have waaay too many of to wear anyways) and then headed to the cash. I think I may have been beaming a little too much with excitement because the pleasantly snooty cashier gave me an odd "wow youre extra happy roll of the eyes" kind of look. OH WELL!! I have the boots, they're mine now, and they're MY size :)
Boots: thrift shop $8
Belt: goodwill $2.99
Dress: American Apparel (two tone dress in white and black): $36
Sunglasses: $1.99 thrift shop
