This one's going to be long, so get your scrolling fingers ready if you're not interested in what is probably one of my favorite types of posts - pictures of stuff I got while out on a thrift store excursion!
As I've now made my Weight Watchers goal, I need new clothes. All of my jeans are too big now (yay). My shirts don't fit right. I need things! And while I used to look for funky and/or unusual clothes, this trip was about finding everyday stuff for me and for my daughter. BIG SCORES AHOY.
First stop - Value Village. The good about VV: Prices, selection. The bad: They have a tendency to staple the tags to places on clothes where the staples create holes. Because stapling a price tag to a clothing tag or a seam or an out of the way spot would be too difficult...
Jeans!
 |
| The black ones were $3.29 and a size even smaller than what I usually wear. But...my friend said "Cheap! Stretchy!" so I took a chance (VV has no fitting room) and they do fit! The blue ones are Old Navy Flirt - again, taking a chance, because I know the Sweetheart fits well but wasn't sure about the Flirt. They were $5.29 and yep, fit! |
 |
| Old Navy Sweetheart - $5.29. |
 |
| Two identical, perfect Banana Republic Merino wool sweaters. $3.29 each. |
 |
| Squishy Old Navy sweater - $4.29 |
 |
| Girly hoodie - $2.29 |
 |
| J Crew part-cashmere roll-turtle-neck sweater - $5.29 |
 |
| Shirt for the kid - $1.29 |
 |
| Powerpuff Girls shirt for the kid! 50 cents (half-price!) |
 |
| Curious Kitty adorable shirt for the kid. $2.29. |
 |
| Mini Boden shirt! MINI BODEN! $2.29 I think. |
Then onward to the Humane Society store. All kid clothes were 50 cents. I think all of the shirts I got were 50 cents or a dollar each. I spent $6.50 total on everything below, so there you have it.
 |
| Fits kind of funky but so cheap I took a chance. |
 |
| Cute tank top! |
 |
| (I don't actually love vampires particularly much, but this was too cute.) |
 |
| I couldn't resist this shirt for my daughter. |
 |
| I liked the sleeve details on this kid shirt. |
 |
| Basic shirt for my daughter - with a stain I didn't notice. It's in the wash now, but this can also be worn under a sweater. |
 |
| Jeans for my daughter. I hope they fit! |
 |
| Express square-neckline T-shirt for me. |
 |
| Sparkly sweater for my daughter. |
 |
| Hello Kitty sweatshirt for my daughter. |
 |
| Pinker than it looks, sweatshirt for my daughter. |
 |
| 50 cents. Figured I'd check it out. |
And then finally a quick run into Goodwill.
 |
| These jeans are Old Navy "Special Edition" (whatever that is) in a TINY SIZE. And, amusingly, they have zippers at the ankles. $8. |
 |
| FIND OF THE DAY. RIP Thrashers. This shirt fits my daughter perfectly and she'll be able to wear it to Gladiators games. $3. |
 |
And finally, just a cute top for her. $3.
Not shown, the 30 cent Backyardigans book I found for her. |
I also got skinny jeans in the juniors section of Kohls (heh) and a long-sleeved shirt in the girls section (XXL fits me!) with a gift card, and I got a mandoline that has a finger guard at Tuesday Morning. Because...I may have sliced open my finger on the cheap one I bought recently when I was making apple chips. Maybe.
I love thrifting!!!!
