Hey, y'all! So many of you are thrifting for outfits and I am pumped for you! I would love to see what you've put together on a minimal budget. Maybe we could have a weekly challenge to come up with an outfit for $10 or less...any takers?
So, this past weekend I had a very specific focus for my trip. I needed some fall colored clothes. I tend to go all Edgar Allen Poe during the colder months and wear a lot of black and grey. But that makes me think of winter. And it's fall - albeit one of the warmer ones - but still. So, I went to Goodwill for some fall colored tops. I was in luck :) To be featured throughout some upcoming WWIWs for sure...
5 fall colored tops...$25.00
Then, Saturday, I went yardsaling. And found lots of goodies...
24 Southern Living Magazines...$1.00
A framed mirror for a fun upcoming project (possibly a big boy bedroom redo)...$1.00
2 Puzzles for the Beckster...$1.00
And, another dream-come-true thrifting moment when I spotted not one pair of slouchy faux suede boots but two pairs in grey AND brown. I know, STOP THE WORLD.
And the price per pair...ONE BUCK each! So, $2.00 for two pairs of boots. I die. As a bonus, they are toe fungus free and the seller was a totally legit college girl.
Then, I went back to Goodwill on Saturday for the 50% off sale and found an apothecary jar drink dispenser for $4.00. It's just begging for me to throw a party, isn't it?
And lastly, for a whopping 50 cents, that cute little Young House Love inspired bird sitting in my dining room fall tablescape that very much needs a table runner.
See you tomorrow for WIWW!
i love how you said "Edgar Allan Poe" with your wardrobe. That is exactly like me too! Last winter I spruced up with some bright colors that definitely made those dreary months better! Love the finds! That jar is great!!
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds!
ReplyDeleteOk, Abby! That's it!! My little Cowgirl has preschool tomarrow. so since i will already be in town, I'm so goin to the goodwill!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome finds! I can't wait to check out our Goodwill!
ReplyDeleteWow you're soo good!! I really need to learn how to thrift I've been spending way too much money at the mall lately and you always find such cute stuff.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love Young House Love. Second of all, NO WAY with the cute boots!! Way to go!! That's 3 SUPER CHEAP pairs of boots in the last....2 or 3 weeks?!?
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! I really want to go Goodwilling and yardsaling now! Hope you had a great day :)
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you're inspirational! I need to go thrifting!
ReplyDeleteI hit some yard sales recently and found a few good finds! I'm really impressed with those boots though! Great find girl!!
ReplyDeleteJeez you sure know how to find the cute bargains! I give you props girl :) Everytime I've wandered into goodwill I get evil eye-ed by people so I feel like I dont belong! I need to start going to your goodwills! keep up the good blogging!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know where you live that has such wonderful yard sales, but my pecimisstic self is pretty sure I'd never find any boots like that and yard sales around here. And the Goodwill in my town...sucks. I need to visit one in a big city when I get a chance! And, you're right, I think our countertops are long-lost siblings! :)
ReplyDeleteOHHHHH girl. You have really encouraged me to get out there and check out those yard sales and hit up goodwill...let me tell you...I have found some TREASURES!! I'm going to post about it soon. You'll be SO proud!
ReplyDeleteAhh amazing...or should I say aMAIZEing since you're a fellow Wolverine fan. Not only do you inspire me as a teacher but you have totally redirected my thrifting! I too am on the hunt for fall colors and a teacher wardrobe. I found a cute deep royal blue wrap dress at Target clearance for 7.48 and when I found a small snag on the bottom got 10% more off. Can definitely find some accessories to pull this outfit off for less than $10 :-)
ReplyDeleteMy goodness girl, you completely amaze me with all of your perfect finds! I have to admit that I am very jealous of your goodies!!
ReplyDeleteYou are my thrifting hero! I clearly need to give it another go and be a bit more patient.
ReplyDeleteI would love to do a $10 challenge- maybe even a $5 one!
ReplyDeleteHow do you know who the seller is???
ReplyDeleteLove love love the finds. I too am a Goodwill Junk-ie. Come over to my blog to check out my latest finds. (Like the $6.00 Giorgio Armani Blazer...What!?)
