my failed attempt to thrift

i spent my lunch break at the local thrift store scouring the racks for a gray tweed blazer. i came out empty handed and super sad. i absolutely love thrifting, but coming out as a failure? no bueno!

 i was looking for something similar to this:

blazer, Gap.

there is no way i am going to shell out $100 dollars when there is a good chance i could find it at a goodwill or possibly some other thrift store....Kendi has one that is absolutely to-die-for! seriously- click on the link and check out her adorable blazer. 

have any stories from good experiences at thrift stores?
