    Fia, I must say you find the most amazing dupes for high end and very high priced items. Your local thrift store clearly stocks some unbelievably excellent (and very cheap!) items. Here in the UK I never find anything worth taking home which makes me very jealous of what you find - and what you do find and how you dress them, always looks incredible. Well done you! đŸ‘đŸ»đŸ˜ŠđŸ‡ŹđŸ‡§
