Let’s just chat for minute about the Thrift Sale (…yes it does deserve those capital letters). Saturday morning I woke up at 5:45 – 5:45! – to prove just how much I love a good bargain. In spite of the early hour, standing in line, and the lady who pushed in front of me not once, but twice, I had the best thrifting zhu-zhu I’ve had in years!
I didn’t take everything back to school with me, but I though I would give you a little preview of the things I did bring back with me. Here we go:
I didn’t take everything back to school with me, but I though I would give you a little preview of the things I did bring back with me. Here we go:
I’m calling this a tunic. Some people might wear it as a very short, very low-cut dress…but I would not be one of those people. With a camisole underneath and some leggings, this will be so cute for church or teaching…or just being cute if the occasion calls for it!
A trench shirt! I guess technically I could wear this as a jacket, but it’s so thin that I’ll probably use it as an over shirt with a fitted tee or tank top underneath. It has a belt that goes with it too.
This one is not quite long enough for leggings, but will be perfect for fall with my skinny jeans and some cute boots…maybe a scarf.
These leggings still had the tags on…the $47 price tag. That’s a negative. These are pretty thick as far as leggings go, so I’ll be getting a lot of wear out of them come late fall and winter.
I was not so sure about crochet-backed tops when I first saw them, but for $2, I think I can afford to experiment. This on is 3/4 sleeved so I can still wear it for awhile with more fall colored tank tops underneath.
This one is just a plain Old Navy scoop neck t-shirt thing. I can wear it for teaching or with jeans.
Alrighty…that’s all for pictures this time, but I can tell you a little more about my other goodies. I also came out with a 100% silk, ivory colored blouse from Talbots with cute little ruffles at the top; it’s being dry-cleaned or I would have it. Two Banana Republic dresses (one black, one gray) also being dry cleaned, but so cute and only $5 apiece! I got the cutest red open sweater with flower applique around the neck and lapel…but it’s also at the cleaner. An Old Navy tank top blouse type thing – green with little white polka dots – will have to wait until next year to be worn. A Liz Claiborne tank top blouse type thing – also green with white polka dots – which will be perfect for teaching or regular life will also have to wait until next year. I did get get a pink Ann Taylor Loft dress, but it fit sort of awkwardly…so it’s going to the Goodwill.
All in all, I think that is an incredible deal for only $49! I cannot wait to start incorporating all of this into my wardrobe. I carried on the bargaining zhu-zhu at Kohl’s later in the day when I got the most perfect shirt for engagement pictures for 30% off the clearance price! I’m not showing it yet, because I want y’all to be surprised when you see the pictures. Hint: think jewel tones with some fun flats.
Wait, did she say engagement pictures? Why yes, yes I did. I know I mentioned pictures here, but we’ve had a slight change of plans. We’re moving the pictures up to the 13th, and we’ll be taking them in the Collierville Town Square. I’ve been looking at pictures of it, and I think it’s going to be the perfect place. Can’t wait!

Switching gears entirely. I have three weeks (actually two weeks and four days) left at my first student teaching placement! This is so crazy.
Also, I have some really exciting things coming up…not just engagement pictures, so I hope y’all will stick around for awhile.
P.S. It’s practically the end of September…I mean really? That being said, if you’re looking to sponsor for October, I would love to help you out. Shoot me an email for more info!
