The Misadventures of Buffalo Exchange

Hello Lovelies!!!

I'm back with another thrift post! If you are a CRB veteran you all may remember me talking about Buffalo Exchange, a chain of amazing thrift stores throughout the states, and how I needed to check out what it had to offer. So finally, on one sunny, turned rainy, Saturday my wonderful friend Lauren and I checked out the local Buffalo Exchange in Charlotte. I was surprised at the modern merchandise that they carried! I was looking for more of a vintage thrifting experience, but overall I was satisfied with the unique dresses that I had a chance to try on!!!
This French Connection dress was a perfect match on me!!
But it was too steep for my pockets, nearly $40 and pay day was a week away!

This photo was actually taken in a vintage boutique called Hong Kong Vintage, across the street from Buffalo Exchange! This store was the epitome of vintage! This bag was to die for!

I wasn't ready :)

Cute tank dress, just a bit too snug around the tummy.

My girly Lauren in Hong Kong Vintage with this dope 90s chain purse! Very "Salt-N-Pepa"

Smooches!!!

The bags from the Hong Kong Vintage are too cute. There is no Buffalo Exchange in the DC area but I did go to the one up in NYC. It was cool. Got a couple of bags from there.

Thank you lovelies!!!
@CoilyMistic thanks mama!!!
@Kanesha oh man!! Agreed! Fashionistas have to be careful what others consider vintage, when it was made with modern modifications in mind!

@LaToya Thanks my love! It was an awesome time! it was a bloggers dream!!
