Thrift Haul – 7 Vintage Tops with Modern Style

My spring 2019 thrift haul for my Poshmark Closet helped me find some beautiful vintage tops. Each shirt is perfect for a vintage/modern combo.

Why I Love Vintage Tops

I’m a thrifter who loves to keep it old school. Vintage dresses, kitten heel shoes, vintage skirts & shirts, and high waist jeans are my thing. I know not everyone who thrifts does so for vintage finds. Thrifting is also a great way to find modern clothes for better prices than buying directly from a brand or big box store. But I live for the moments when I find vintage clothes that pair well with modern pieces in my closet. I’m hoping that the Poshers who shop my closet will, as well!

I got really into modeling the pieces to snap some photos to list them. I usually do a flat lay on the faux wood floor in my house, and while that always turns out cute, it wouldn’t have done these shirts justice. Pairing them with cutoff Lee shorts helped me show their versatility! Tucked or untucked, these vintage tops have some cute modern style to them.

Happy Earth Day 🌍🫶🏾🌱

I used to think “let me just get 5k followers.. 10k followers… one day I’ll have 20k followers…” to help people live more sustainably with the blog posts and social media posts I created. 10+ years of that led to burnout. And it never felt the same as when my friends and family started to live a little more sustainably because of something they learned from me. 

I hope you’ll be the inspiration for someone in your life to be a little bit more sustainable today. It’s such a good feeling to see the people closest to you thrift more, consume less, and think differently — more sustainably — about how we treat our world. 

Don’t push it, just live it.

🥶❌🌱 Not my plant babies! 

It’s been cold in Texas the past few days, so I acted accordingly to protect my little backyard garden that’s barely underway. 

Using thrifted sheets (once back drops in my “thrift fashionista style content” days lol) and thrifted clothes pins (I knew they would come in handy! 😆🙌🏾), as well as some old jugs, bottles, containers, and twigs. Hopefully they help keep the plants from getting too cold to survive.

Do you reuse gift wrap?

Here are some things that I’ve thrifted to reuse as gift wrap each holiday season:

⭐️ tablecloths
⭐️ napkins & handkerchiefs (matching napkins sewn together can be used for larger gifts)
⭐️ Scarves (like from @wrappr)
⭐️ Cloth bags (like the ones your sheet sets come in)
⭐️ Pillowcases
⭐️ Curtains (can be used as gift wrap or to cover larger gifts like bikes or toy kitchens)

As long as you can fold the fabric into a square before wrapping the gift, it works well when using the furoshiki style wrapping technique. 

Comment WRAP for a few tips and tricks to wrap gifts in cloth fabric.
