A Stormy Walk Across the Golden Gate Bridge

A little rain never hurt anybody right?! After a few days of rain I was really starting to get cabin fever and dying to go outside. I somehow convinced my boyfriend to join in on my crazy antics and head over to the Golden Gate Bridge in a rainstorm. Back in the summertime I made my summer bucket list and I still hadn’t made it out to the bridge.Β I figured better late than never!

As you can imagine, the Golden Gate Bridge is a popular tourist attraction and is often full of visitors. We discovered that one of the benefits of visiting during a rainstorm is that you pretty much have the place to yourself! San Francisco is known for its fog and you can get some majestic views of the fog rolling in while standing at the halfway point on the bridge. We were eve lucky enough to see a rainbow stretching across the sky.

Let me take a minute to tell you about the boots, hat and bag in this post. These are all amazing thrift finds and I paid less than $40 for all of them. The boots are the Sam Edelman Ximon Rain Boots and I got them on Swap for $12 (click hereΒ and receive 20% off your first purchase!).Β The wool hat is also a favorite from Swap and it came new-with-tags in a hat box for only $10, I was seriously over the moon when it arrived!

The best tip I have for looking for awesome scores while thrifting (both in stores and online) is you need to be prepared to hunt. The cute items will most likely not be sitting right on top, so learning to love the hunt will bring you great success.Β Overall, it was a tremendous thrift haul.
