Recent Goodwill Find!!!

Ok, so the other day I happen to be running some errands that took me right past what can only be described as the BEST GOODWILL EVER!! My husband asked if I was going to stop there while I was out and about, for some reason, I hadn't really even thought about it. (Thank goodness for the husband...he really came thru this time).

So, I made my way thru the errands, and found myself in the parking lot at Goodwill. I almost get a little bit of a high just walking thru the parking lot.

Anyway, I made my way inside and right to the Maternity rack. Some how I remember it having a much large selection before I had the need to shop from it. I found a pair of Old Navy Denim Capris, so I grabbed them and kept moving.

I though to check out the baby products, but was extremely dissapointed when I came out of that dept. empty handed. I moved right on to the shoes....

Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a beautiful looking black pump. Thats right "a" black pump. I saw the Nicole Miller markings on the inside, 8-1/2 size on the bottom, and grabbed it. (Yes, still "it"). I roamed the rest of the shoe racks, dying to find it's match. After 3 runs thru the rack, I spotted it. My pair was complete. I had reach a new high at this point. I had just nabbed a perfect pair of Nicole Miller Black Pumps for $3.97. I was in thrift store heaven.

I browsed around a little more. Came up with a great Armani Exchange top that I plan on posting on Ebay in the near future, and a few other picks for myself.

Now, I've been shopping at Goodwill stores for a few years now, and every time I get rung up at the registers, they ask me if I have a Shoppers Card, my automatic response has always been, "No, thanks anyway". For some reason I never thought the $4.50 was worth it. Well I finally kicked that bad habit, and got the card. Not only did I save 1/2 off my denim capris and a blazer, I also got the Armani shirt for $1.75. Talk about potential profit!!

All in all it was a great surprise shopping trip. I left spending just over $15, with a huge bag full of goodies in my hands. Gotta love a great Goodwill day!!

PS: 5 months pregnant, still in my pumps :)

First Post -- Very Exciting!!

Yeah! I'm so excited to start my blog!!

After spending 2 years in fashion school, and leaving the industry for the past 7 years, I've come full circle and can't seem to get enough fashion!!

I've taken a whole new approach to my love of fashion. I've discovered Thift Store shopping!! It has not only enhanced my wardrobe to levels I never thought possible, but it's actually given me another source of income.

1/2 of my Thrift Store finds stay in my closet and are loved more than they ever could have been if they were purchased at retail prices. The other 1/2 are purchased for the sole purpose of resale for profit.

It's really become my favorite hobby, and I thought that the best way to share my love for it would be to start a blog and give others an inside look at the wonderful world of Thrift Store shopping.
