Monthly Goodwill trip: Oddities and Outfits
I try to limit my thrift store trips to once every month or two, and also try not to come home with anything like a STEREODEON! I looked this up online and it's actually a radio + turntable in the shape of a full-sized piano. Goodwill had it for $99.99, and I passed -- I see people trying to sell them for around $200 on eBay, but it looks like the past listings all ended with no sales, lol.
I am, however, trying to slowly and affordably revamp my wardrobe with thrifting finds of better fit and quality than my current work-from-home-in-yoga-pants wardrobe. The above outfit? Head-to-toe Goodwill today, and $25 for everything including the shoes. These are Gap jeans, which usually don't fit me at all -- but these are some "curvy" Gap variety which actually turned out to be super comfortable. The shirt is Jones New York, the jacket is Dress Barn, and the shoes are Life Stride.
Don't have your junior high kid take a photo of you trying on clothes with the sun behind you, lol -- but these are the same jeans paired with a $2.99 Fashion Bug shirt and $4.99 Born Mary Janes. So, how'd I do? And what treasures have you found at your local thrift store lately?
Its a hit or miss ,garden usually and work clothes for my husband ,goes through them so fast working in the yard and fixing up my garden treasures every year ! Get tired buy more garage sale old ones ,
I agree with the comment that it depends on which store and if the earth, sun and moon line up just right... last end of summer in Lake Zurich they had 50% off all sleeveless tops. I must have bought 15 and found many name brand super cute tops that I wore this summer. Hope they do that again! Rachel love the jacket in the first pic, I am looking for a fitted jean jacket that I can layer. Looks like you had fun! 🙂
