Happy Fall!
Amy and I hit two of our favorite thrift stores on Friday and I think this was my best trip ever in terms of what I spent vs. what I got (and please note - NO BOOKS! None! I have issued a challenge to myself, actually, to pull out 50 books this week to get rid of. It's time. Also I may or may not admit that I'm going to my favorite used book sale of the year next weekend for half-price day...but it's the only sale I go to anymore! And so. 50 out. ANYWAY.)
Store #1 was having a sale. All summer clothes were a dollar a piece. A DOLLAR. The prices at this store are already very cheap, but this was fantastic. It's still warm here in Georgia, so I can still wear a lot of these now.
Also, here's my secret - a friend of mine told me about Twice - a site where you can buy and sell high-end used clothing. If you want to sell, you are limited to a strict list of brands. Twice will send you a postage-paid bag to fill, then they make an offer on what you've sent. If you want anything back, you have to pay to get it back - otherwise they donate it. And then they sell really nice clothing at deep discounts. I thought I might be able to make a bit of money back to finance my thrifting trips - so some of the stuff you'll see below is actually destined for Twice. But not much. (I'll tell you what pieces I bought to try to resell, OK?) If you are interested in Twice, here's my referral link:

I tried something different for the pictures - hanging everything up. I don't know if I would consider this a success, but you'll get the idea...

Adorable Ann Taylor Loft black button down shirt. I actually picked this up thinking I could resell it but IT FITS (but it's a weensy bit short - I think I can work with that). I have an idea for an outfit. Woohoo! |

I had to - obviously - mess with the contrast/brightness on this (in a really terrible way) but it's an ADORABLE J Crew T-shirt with a little ruffly bit on it. And it's heading off to Twice for resale! Bye! [Update: Twice accepted this and paid me $2.50.] |

Super super cute Ann Taylor Loft cardigan that is headed outward. I think this was $2. [Update: Twice rejected this, calling it "dated." I disagree but there is no arguing when you try to sell to Twice.] |

Not quite short-sleeved Gap black shirt. |

Oy. Terrible picture here, sorry. Brown Target shirt with longer than short sleeves. |

I couldn't resist this Gap waffle shirt. I think it was $3. |

Absolutely darling Ann Taylor Loft dress. MINE. |

White House Black Market capris in perfect condition. These are going to Twice. [Update: Twice also rejected these and called these "dated." I have no idea why as to me these are not. Lesson learned.] |

"Angels" brand jeans. I liked how they fit from the knees up a LOT. Not totally convinced that wide legs are for me, but today I'm wearing the wide-leg jeans from the last thrift post and they're pretty cute so. $3. |

Levis. A tiny bit tight in the waist and I know that's not ideal but they were so cute otherwise and with a long sweater...right? $3 |

Gymboree sweater for the kid. Except she won't be this size for years. But for a dollar, it was just too cute and too perfect to pass up. |
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCvB1NUogNgD4dOvKh8yF9D63evt5v6EQZP3X0X8mcyqhZfuHHd44JVZn8Yal0eauhuFfpfFG78pmbIRKRsGyidBhhuOleWddcN0qDVNjZS8PBw0LG8MFA3q8QMcO37TvxEHk_GxH83TI/s320/P1160694.jpg) |
Same exact story as the brown sweater above. This one's a 2012 sweater, even. |
Grand total with tax? $20.
Then we went to my favorite little store. That's where I bought t
he sweater/coat/duster from the previous post. And then I bought everything else. I will try to break down the prices when I know, but I wasn't even sure. Some things were $2 (like the duster). Some things were $1.50. Some things were 50 cents. I spent $15 total on everything.

Really cute Liz Claiborne top. I wasn't sure about it but it looks nice on and is a bit of a change for me. It was on a rack with "specially priced" clothes but it didn't have a special price, so this might've been $2. |

Plain waffle shirt. |

Plain black T-shirt because I can never have too many. |

I loved this reddish top. But when I hung it up for the picture, I saw that it has a snag/hole on the front. BOO BOO AND MORE BOO. I am undecided as to whether I'll keep it for layering purposes or toss it. |

This Vespa shirt is the tiniest bit too short but, come on, it's so darling. I can wear a tank top under it and nobody will be the wiser. |
![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRLyX3WfgLoLOH4Q22DT9GwaefYNKcY5dipFy9VcIpwQBTCb0QP1mfUjlvJUOgTXLLSGZYS_vWQ_qqwEdMagIHbH9OAhpnO8NJBOFuHHTmXY17zU-k6XaZaIOnlejgtM8Lb4kwdtr-K4E/s320/P1160702.jpg) |
Why, it's another plain black T-shirt! |

Terrible picture of a navy blue Old Navy sweater/hoodie (the hood is dragging down the neck, thus the weirdness). |
Tadaaaaah. I now am pretty much set for the fall. I also went to half-price day at a nearby consignment sale for the kid and filled in her wardrobe ($13 for 4 pairs of pants/jeans, a T-shirt, a sweater, a long-sleeved Gymboree shirt, and...something else I'm forgetting). I love it. I LOVE IT!
