Goodwill

Emily and I went on our first thrifting adventure of the new year yesterday. Our first stop was Goodwill.

Orange shirt = $4.00

Emily actually picked out this shirt for me. At first I wasn't so sure about it. But then after trying it on, I fell in love with the color and the fit. It is the perfect addition to adding more color to my wardrobe.

White frilly Wet Seal shirt = $4.00

Magnifying Glass = $0.79



Huge Moroccan Tea Pot = $5.99

The tea pot is actually quite huge. Bigger than any "tea pot" I have ever seen. I am going to use it as a watering can to water my plants with (that is about how big it is). It says "Made in Morocco" on the bottom and has a reference number which I can not make out.

Revamp

I decided to use my new dress form as the mannequin for the few shirts I bought at Goodwill the other day. Unfortunately, I haven't measured myself and matched the dress form to my proportions yet, so some of the shirts look like they fit differently. The last shirt I posted looks quite different in my opinion. They keyhole opening doesn't open as wide on me as it does on the dress form. I had originally bought it because I fell in love with the ribbon tie. It looks quite delicate and lovely. Unfortunately, in these pictures it just looks trashy.

Mossimo patterned tee = $4.00

Self Esteem pink flower and polka dotted top (with cute buttons) = $4.00

Charlotte Russe tie blouse = $4.00

Guess Collection white tank with ribbon tie = $3.50

Anonymous brand white floral strapless sundress = $6.00



100% silk mumu = $6.00

The tag on this is in another language so I had to look up care instructions on how to clean silk online. It has no form to it but since it is silk, it feels so nice against my skin. Basically I just wear this around the house.

BB Dakota pink pvc jaket (which I use as a rain jacket) = $5.00 or $6.00





Front and Back of purse with vintage imagery on it = $3.99





Baileys Irish Cream cup = $0.59



Elephant necklace = $4.99


Saint Jude medallion (patron saint of lost causes) = $2.99

Blast To My Past

Last Sunday I picked up these two paperback books for $0.50 each. Both books look like they had barely been cracked open.

"Palm Sunday" by Kurt Vonnegut


"The Importance of Being Earnest and Four Other Plays" by Oscar Wilde


Red patterned Tote Bag = $0.99


"Golden Rose" teacup and saucer = $0.49

A quick search online found that this same exact teacup and saucer is selling for $15.00.

Ana brand jean jacket = $5.00

A few months ago I was sitting on my couch watching TV when I sat bolt upright with an epiphany moment that I NEEDED to get a jean jacket. Call it a tribute to my childhood if you will. I had been on the lookout for one ever since. However each time I looked for one in the thrift stores, I would never find EXACTLY what I was looking for. Until last Sunday that is. Some people can't appreciate the jean jacket. I say, I'm bringing it back.
