Thrifty Shopping Spree!!!
So, yesterday was the first day that we were able to actually shop after the 30 for 30 challenge and I made a B-Line to my favorite thrift stores. What I found inside was amazing.Where do I begin?
Okay, so I am at a thrift store and my idea was to run in and out... well Keesha texted me to see what I was doing and like the great friend and faithful thrifter that she is she came to meet me. When she got there I had about 16 items of clothing in my hands and I was breathing erratically... I realized that I had not shopped in over 30 days... Soooo not like me! Well, this our favorite thrift store because you a grocery bag of clothing for $5. Yeah... so the idea is to get as much stuff in the bag as you can. Well just so you know... 16 items are NOT going to fit in one bag. So we decided to get two bags and split the price... well as my luck would have it I lost my debit card in the store!!! (scary)I did find it right after Keesha had already paid for my bag. Geez... she is such a swell friend. After we left the first store I did make one more stop and get another bag for only $3. In total I got
- 3 pairs of pants
- 2 blazers
- 7 skirts
- 3 sweaters
- 7 shirts/blouses
- 6 belts
- 1 pair of shoes
- and I got 1 my husband a neck tie (so he would not feel left out)
In TOTAL: I got 30 items for $13 ($10 of which was gifted)
I still have not stopped smiling. I actually had to buy more hangers in order to fit them into the closet. Amazing!!!
These are some of the highlights from my shopping spree.

Jealous! The thrift places in Portland seem to be more expensive - probably because it is trendy to wear thirfted clothes here. Bah humbug. I want everything you got for $13!

Also, if you all want to join the No Repeat Challenge, do it! After the 30, I needed something that will keep me trying new things.
I love your Birthday look. That butterlfy sequin top is amazing.
