Thrifting Thursday- Remix (Warning: Photo Heavy)

Okay, I thought up a way to show you just the variety you can find with a little patience and some time thrifting.  I pulled everything out of my closet that I have thrifted over the years, and laid it all out on my bed. Then I pulled pieces to put together and remix to give you some ideas.
Everything you see here is ALL thrifted, including shoes and jewelry.  The only thing that was not was my undergarments. (ewwww!)
Where possible, I will tell you the brand, but again, it all came from various thrift shops.

I learned a lot from working on this post. Mostly that I can make do with a lot less. So I plan to do a major closet clean-out after Christmas, and might do a huge blog sale.  I have so much in my closet that I can't see it all. That is annoying.
I also plan to do another 30 for 30 challenge.  I like how this edits my choices, and makes me really think about what I buy.
I also reminded myself that you can get some GREAT, quality pieces by thrifting. (Usually for pennies.)
Does this challenge you to take a look at your closet and re-think what you have/ need?  How do you decide what clothing/shoe items to buy?
