I recently had a wonderful visit with the lovely Miss Sally McGraw of the always inspiring Already Pretty. She’s just as delightful as I expected – such a sweetheart! We were both in St. Louis visiting family so we got together for a lunch/beauty/shopping date. I even got to meet the charming Husband Mike who makes guest appearances on Already Pretty.
With Sally being an expert thrift store shopper (she’s even been interviewed for her thrifting tips on her local TV news), I had to get in a visit to a thrift store with her. I love that she takes a targeted approach and arrived prepared with a list.
I tend to avoid thrift stores these days, because they can be overwhelming and many in San Francisco are so overpriced; but you can find some great deals in St. Louis. Neither of us found anything that blew us away that particular afternoon; but we did find some goodies. I snagged this cute red tote for a whopping 2.99. I also now know that I should come prepared with some inkling of what my wardrobe could use.
We also had a good chat about my loves – skin care and makeup. We were hoping to get in a quick makeup lesson after shopping (I adore doing people’s makeup). But, alas, we ran out of time and had to get back to our families. Hopefully, she’ll make her way out to San Francisco so we can have a longer visit and play with some makeup, too.
