I very rarely by new clothes for myself. Number one, they’re expensive, and number two, it promotes textile waste. And I’m not a super fashion saavy mama, anyway, so I have my own eclectic style. I took a little trip to Goodwill yesterday in search for some fall clothes and found some cute pieces,
like the little blue blazer above. I think it might need a little taking in, but I’m up for the challenge, and I couldn’t resist the great color or the $5 price tag.

I also grabbed a leather belt by Calvin Klein for $1.50 and a pair of Gap jeans for $9.99 (why don’t they just say $10?). I’m thinking of altering the jeans into skinny jeans so I can wear them with my boots; we’ll see if that happens.
I also found this little gray knitted dress. Cute and cozy for $6.
And the steal of the day turned out to be this little blue and pink eyelet dress by Trina Turk for $6. I looked up the designer and turns out her dresses usually range from $200 to $300! I have no idea how much this one originally was, but it fits like a glove and I’m in love!
So for about $30 I found some fun new pieces to add to my closet! Any favorite thrift-store finds lately?
By the way, did you know that many thrift stores participate in textile recycling programs? Make sure you donate instead of throwing away!
wow–great find on the trina turk dress!
I know, I was so excited!
Love the new stuff! Thrift stores are awesome 🙂
