Goodwill Hunting: Vol. 1

Hey gals (and guys, maybe)!  Hope you guys had a great weekend.  I'd happened to go thrifting with one of my girlfriends on Saturday and thought I'd share some of my favorite finds.  Every time I hit up my local Goodwill or Salvation Army, I always walk out with some really good stuff, which leaves me thinking "why don't I come here more often???".  So I've decided to get back to thrifting more often and will share my finds with you all.

First up, I snagged this tea cup & saucers set.  I'm assuming they're vintage.  I love the mint green color and the angel fish imprint.  Come on, who doesn't love angel fish?


Second, I found this awesome, awesome, awesome ethnic print wrap skirt.  It has a nice A-line shape and it reaches all the way to the floor (depending on how low slung I wear it).  Not only is the print awesome--it has pockets!  So chic.  I'm just giving you a sneak peak because I plan to do an outfit post showcasing it soon.

 And last, I was on the search for a pair of baggy Levi jeans that I thought I'd cut into "boyfriend shorts".  I ran across these and I love them so much, that I wouldn't even think of taking any scissors to them.  So I guess I have a new pair of boyfriend JEANS.


The tea cups cost me 5 bucks, the skirt was $6, and the jeans were $7.  I also bought an Indian tunic and another pair of jeans (J.Crew brand).  All in all, my "Goodwill hunting" was a total success.  Can't wait until my next excursion!

Happy hump day!

  2. I love thrifting--I found some really cute $1 dresses over the weekend.

    That tea cup set is too cute--I hardly look through anything other than clothes while thrifting but I think I'm going to check out housewares next time I go.

  5. You did real good. I like everything you've shared just please tell me baggy jeans aren't coming back in style? You're the second person I've seen rocking a pair? I can't keep up with the trends but baggy jeans never flattered my body :(

  6. These are some great finds. You have a good eye. I see stuff hanging on racks or folded in stacks and it's hard for me to imagine how it would work with something else. I look at the store mannequins to decide what goes with what. Too bad they don't have Garanimals for adults. Maybe you're not old enough to remember those. LOL

  8. ^^^Not sure what picture you're talking about, but sure.

    I'm glad you all approve of my finds!

    Splendor--the baggy "boyfriend" jeans trend has been out for a little while now. It's an alternative look, skinnies still reign supreme!
