Thrift Store Hauls

80s Windbreaker

SJB Sport / $4.99 

I've been wanting an 80s windbreaker for a while now, and finally found the right one. It's a dark turquoise color, which has been a color I emphasize in my portrait photography for a little while, now. It's super light, fits just about right, and does its job in both looking retro and keeping the wind out, so I can't complain!

Timberlands High Tops

Timberlands / $9.99 / ~$100+ New

Found this pair of funky Timberland boots at an Idaho Youth Ranch for $9.99. So they're one of my more "expensive" thrift store purchases as far as shoes go, but they'll hold up great in rain, snow, and wading through puddles. I'm not a fan of the blue laces at the moment, so if they don't grow on me I'll just replace them with black ones. The blue stitching reminds me a lot of Doc Martens. In fact, the whole shoe seems like a take on Doc Martens' Tobias Boot, which was one of the first pairs of boots I bought.

Gordon Rush Black Leather Chelsea Boots

GR by Gordon Rush / $5.98 / $160 New

I love chelsea boots. They're slick, they're stylish, they're versatile, they're easy to put on and take off, and they make me feel like Harry Styles. What more could you want? I'd been wanting a nice pair of black chelsea boots for a while and totally scored these. They're marked as a size 9, but as a size 10-10.5, they fit me perfectly. My guess is someone ordered a size 9 and they were too big, so they just donated them. Works for me! This pair of boots is definitely one of the best finds I've ever had.

Apt. 9 / $8.97 / $80 New

I already had a pair of boots kind of like these ones, but these have a slightly darker color, fit a little comfier, are in better condition, and are just the epitome of a perfect fall boot for guys. Love 'em.

Florsheim / $6.98 / ~$140 New

I love the color and buckle on these guys! They're very handsome boots, great for wearing to church or dressing like I belong in an indie rock band. The bottom layer of the sole is a tiny bit loose, but isn't about to fall off or anything.

1901/Nordstrom / $5.98 / $110 New

These were in pretty great shape on the rack! The suede was a little dirty, but some easy cleaning later, and they look brand new! I wasn't so sure about them at first, so I let my dad try them on. They fit him, too, so he's "inherited/stolen" them from me. Not that I need another pair of shoes, anyway! :)

Converse / $5.99 / $50 New

Can't go wrong with a pair of converse! Both are in practically new condition. The left ones are kind of a raspberry color, and were found on the women's' shoe racks. Ain't no shame in looking over there!
