I've been on a vintage kick lately. I used to go thrifting quite often, probably the first few years of when I started blogging I was mostly wearing vintage and thrifted items. Somewhere along the line I lost my love for vintage clothes and started coveting more designer pieces. Don't get me wrong, I still love a good Chloe heel, but I definitely have a newfound love for vintage one offs again. Case in point, this fun checkered top I picked up at Goodwill last week. It's made of a thin vinyl material. I have never seen a top made in vinyl that felt so breathable and comfortable! It's definitely a special piece! Of course I had to take it all the way and pair it with a vinyl skirt, and sneaker to match, duh.

    Awesome find! Thrift shopping requires a ton of patience - a virtue I am not fortunate to have. Do you have any good tips for finding the good stuff?

    What a great find this checkered shirt it! I like how you styled it too and buttoned it all the way to the top. It is great with that edgy skirt and cap. Vintage finds are always fun because they have history and also because not everyone is wearing the same thing. xoxo, Christine
