Hey people hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. This weeks thrift store find is a perfect for what we value in those who give their lives for the freedoms we have today. Although we wear dog tags for style the soldiers who wear them may not make it home to their families. We should value and honor those who have paved the way for our freedoms. I also found a book called The House at Sugar Beach by Helene Cooper. I will update more about the book once I've read it. I love my freedoms and those who sacrificed their lives. Hey look up Memorial Day history to get the facts you'll be surprised at what you learn.

Popping some tags...Thrift finds
What's the word people. Today for me it was Thrift store. I have been a thrifty shopper for many years. It all started back in high school at Salvation Army near NYU. This was like heaven for a kid with chore funds. They had vinyl albums, vintage ties, and my favorite of all leather blazers. I can spot great things immediately. Today was a good day at Unique thrift store in Westbury, NY. Yes some people don't get it but I have no problem with finding treasures. If you have patience and want one of a kind style this is the price you pay. Okay well not costly price but looking through items until you find it. It meaning the one thing you thought you wouldn't find. I spent less than $25.00 and came out with a cute summer clutch, a vintage green suade with leather pocketbook, two really nice necklaces and these must add to the collection earrings. I may be willing to give something away if you are willing to share your coolest thrift store find on instagram #winpearsstyles. Follow me @winpears on instagram or @winpearsstyles on Twitter. Always a great day to shop but if you can't I will for you. Enjoy!
