Reader Update: A successful thrifting trip!
This is overdue.
Remember a couple weeks ago when we celebrated Let's Just Look At Pretty Things Thursday?
Well, later that day, I gave away a 50 percent off coupon for Tampa's Sunshine Thrift because there was no way I could use it.
Reader Jenn Nguyen scooped it up, went shopping, and made out like a bandit. She was kind enough to share pictures with us.
In Jenn's words:"The Espirit flowery dress is so comfortable and such a great fit for me. ... The polka dotted ditty will be a great little piece to wear with my blazer for work/school."
Now, Jenn says it was her first time at Sunshine AND her first time thrifting without her mom, but I say she's well on her way to being a pro.
With the coupon, her total was only $3.69!
Go girl!

There’s a lot of turnover in her closet, and she’s obsessed with dresses, necklaces and wedge heels. She can be reached at (727) 893-8643 or
