I found a cool blue dress at my local thrift store for $5.99 – as soon as I flipped the tag I knew its real value
A FASHIONISTA was left convinced she has the power to manifest her heart’s desires after finding a designer dress at a thrift store.
She made the discovery having recently read about another woman who found a luxury piece of clothing for just $10.
Allie (@alliesurber91) has over 13,000 followers on TikTok, where she shares tips for bargain hunters.
The money-savvy shopper went viral on the social media platform after revealing what she bought from a Goodwill in Georgia.
An article about a Canadian woman who bought a vintage Versace dress for $10 inspired her to try to find her own.
She confessed to previously being “really bad” at checking the tags on dresses at thrift stores.
She had just started to browse the rails when she spotted a “cool” sleeveless periwinkle midi dress.
Allie was shocked when she flipped the tag and saw the blue dress was from Versace.
It had been dry-cleaned and hung on the rack for just $5.99.
She examined the item from the luxury Italian brand thoroughly as she expressed her surprise.
“Did I seriously just manifest this into existence?” she said.
She raved that the figure-hugging dress was the first she had touched in the store.
Versace dresses are currently priced from $1,090 on the luxury fashion house’s website.
Over 7,200 people liked Allie’s video and hundreds of viewers took to the comment section impressed by her budget-friendly purchase.
“Wow, I need to check the dress section more often,” one person wrote.
When is the best time to shop at a thrift store?
According to Goodwill, it’s unpredictable when a “huge” shipment of new items will arrive.
Many regulars recommend shopping early on Monday and Tuesday as donations are usually dropped off at the weekend.
Weekdays are also less crowded, so employees will spend time putting out new stock.
“I recently thrifted a vintage Giorgio Armani dress from their Black Label at Goodwill for $6 in my size! Never know what you’re going to find,” another said.
“You guys plant this stuff!! I refuse to believe it, I never have this luck,” a third chimed in.
“I love seeing people find couture at the thrift it must make the resellers’ blood boil,” another added.
The designer find comes after TikToker @curvyfabnatural also racked up thousands of views on a thrifting video.
She found her “biggest” score at The Salvation Army Thrift Store and Donation Center in Florida.
She said it was out of the ordinary for her to go shopping on a Monday as she usually only goes on a Wednesday or the weekend.
The style guru was delighted when she checked the stamp on a multicolored gold bracelet and discovered it was Fendi.
She bought the accessory which looked in good condition for just $4.
