Thrift store finds of the week

So.. I had a little bit of extra time on my hands this week. So naturally, I found myself at the thrift store. Thought y'all might wanna see what I got!

Goodwill
Goodwill is always hit or miss for me. I go there at least once a week, most weeks. This particular trip, I only found 2 things. Sometimes I find tons and sometimes I leave empty handed. Just depends on the day. 

Because I am totally lacking in the cardigan department {not} I picked up this blue ruffle cardigan from New York & Company. It was $4. I love it!!



I found this small, crossbody purse from the Sak {new with tags!} hiding in the back of all other purses. It was only $4! I was super happy about this because I like to change up my purse often & wear small crossbody purses a lot! 

Local consignment shop
So..I don't typically go for places labeled as "consignment" or "resale" shops because they are typically more that I am willing to spend. But there are a couple consignment stores in my area that have sales quite often. This one in particular has a $1 section. Everything I got on this trip was from that section. 


Ann Taylor Loft blouse with detailing around the collar. One of my absolute favorite brands. I couldn't believe this was only $1!


When I saw this sweater, I knew that I had to have it. I love the pattern! It's super lightweight and cozy--perfect for chilling at home or running errands.

 
Once again, something by Loft! I personally love love love these flip flops! Flowers on anything=love! I couldn't believe these were $1. They fit me perfectly!

Everything else that I got was bought for my mom. She is always asking me to pick stuff up for her because she doesn't have the "eye" like I do. Even though she is the one that got me into thrifting in the first place. 


This t-shirt from Tommy Hilfiger is adorable! I love the detail at the top. Definitely my mom's style.


This shirt from the GAP. Love the colors. Plaid is always a win in my book. 


Lastly, I got her these belts. She accessories a lot with hats & belts. For $1 each, these were a definite steal! I love the one on the top, but thought she would get a lot of use out of it :) The bottom one is by Abercrombie. 

Hope y'all enjoyed!!

Frugal fashion (what I wore)

Here are some of my outfits from the past couple of weeks: pretty much everything was either thrifted, bought on sale or gifted. I don't remember the last time I bought something for full price. It's just not in my nature. 

Here is one of my work outfits from last week! 

Black tank- Pac Sun, clearance, old
Cardigan- Old Navy, thrifted (Goodwill)
Skirt- Fire Los Angeles, on clearance, old (Macys)
Flip flops- Yellowbox, 30% off sale recently (Dillards)
Necklace- Silpada, gift from my Aunt
Earrings- Target

This is what I wore on 4th of July to a family cook out.

Red top- Thrifted (Goodwill)
Skirt- Forever 21, thrifted (Goodwill)
Flip flops- Reef, bought at Sea World a couple years ago when my flip flops broke while I was walking around- one of my favorite pairs :)
Necklace- Bealls (discount fashion store) 

Here is an outfit I wore on church on Sunday (jeans since I was working in the nursery) :)

Polka dot top- Thrifted (Goodwill)
J. Brand jeans- Thrifted (Goodwill)
Sandals- Thrifted (local consignment shop)
Bow headband- Thrifted, several years ago (Goodwill)

This is what I wore to work today! 

Top- Kohls, clearance
Crop pants- Aeropostale, thrifted (Goodwill) --not a brand I usually go for, but they fit me perfectly and for a petite girl, I gotta take what I can get with pants--
Sandal wedges- Bday gift from my mom (Kohls) 
Necklace- old, not really sure where I got this...I have so much jewelry that sometimes I can't keep track :)
