My favorite thrift shop finds a new location

Oct 07, 2011 10:48 PM / 4 Comments

As of October 1st, Chase Me Again thrift store has relocated to 2nd & Hood in downtown Gresham. They had quickly overflowed their old spot and I was super excited to check out the new digs last week. Donny and Sebastian came with me to shop around and shoot some photos and we were not disappointed! Donny scored a pair of RVCA jeans for just $3 and I picked up an Asian-inspired graphic tee for just two bucks. Sebastian toddled around and tested out the well-priced kids section. I love that the shop owners recognize us and always make the effort to greet us and pump Zeb for smiles. They are good people doing great work and their prices are phenomenal, especially considering that their selection is much more hand-picked and cultivated than Goodwill or other similar stores. Their passion is obvious and makes for a really fun shopping atmosphere.

Sebastian’s BePE Baby non-skid slippers are the only shoes that he will keep on his feet – I highly recommend them. ~ I may have to go back for this Simply Vera dress (right) if it’s still there this week – I’m kicking myself that I didn’t at least try it on!

Wish I’d found these pants in the spring – I think I could totally pull them off! ~ By the way, the totally 90′s Calvin Klein denim mini I’m wearing here is from Chase Me Again (I think it was $1.50!), as is the braided leather belt.

   I wish I could go thrifting with you!

   I’m so happy that Sebastian loves his BePe Baby slippers. I’ve noticed him wearing them in a few posts of yours now & have been meaning to ask you about it. Yay! So glad you won them! Jax likes his, too, but he doesn’t like wearing them out. He doesn’t know what he’s missing!
