I Got it @Goodwill

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!

Last weekend we finally got a break in the cold winter weather with temperatures rising above 50 degrees, it felt almost summer like after all that freezing snow.  In celebration of the warm weekend I decided to wear this bright yellow twin-set sweater to church on Sunday – whew, that’s a mouthful!

I paired the thrifted sweater set with yet another thrifted find, a brown striped skirt.

These Romance Soles kitten heel pumps were another fantastic thrifted find and if you remember, I also got them in Navy Blue.  This was the last post in which I wore them (click here).

Necklace - Rugged Wearhouse

The beaded necklace was a clearance purchase from Rugged Wearhouse for ($1.00) – #winning

This Rosetti purse was not thrifted, however, it was purchased from a Flea Market vendor in Florida for less than $20.00.

Thrifting During Thanksgiving

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday

I trust you all had a safe and enjoyable long Thanksgiving weekend with an opportunity to do something special.  Everyday I am thankful for the little things that God blesses me with and even more so when I can share those blessings with others.

On Friday fellow thriftanista and BLMGirl, Whitney Nic James embarked on a Thrift with Nic Weekend Tour (#twntour) sponsored by Kia Motors and her first stop was in Delaware. I honestly had no plans of going out or even getting dressed but when she texted I knew I couldn’t let her visit my state without seeing her.  It wasn’t just because we are fellow bloggers but because I’ve adopted her as my “lil sis”, and you know that I lost my real ‘lil sis in a car accident in 1992.

I quickly dressed and drove to meet her at the Goodwill Outlet in New Castle.  The outlet wasn’t originally on her agenda but one of the consignment shops that she chose was closed and thankfully the outlet was closer to me.

I had never been to a Goodwill Outlet and from the looks of things it was obvious that it’s the “early birds that get all the worms”. Somewhat disappointed but not defeated, I suggested we head further south down to Smyrna, to one of my favorite Goodwill locations.  Her husband, Darrius was the driver and also a native Delawarean, however, he had never been to the Smyrna store and was eager to go.

It was the day before Goodwill’s 50% off Saturday Sale but there were a few items that I just couldn’t pass up.

If you read my profile you know that I am a big supporter of Goodwill, not just because I love to thrift but because it was the last place my sister worked before her untimely death.  She is the first thought that comes to mind when I enter a Goodwill but on this trip she was more than just a passing thought.  

My sister had a best friend named Darlene, they were inseparable until she left to join the United States Air Force, and it was during that time they became separated forever.  Darlene was in Boot Camp when Gloria was killed in a car accident and unfortunately wasn’t able to attend the funeral.  Darlene and I spoke briefly afterwards but never saw each other again … not until Friday and at all places… Goodwill.

Between the hugs and tears, I discovered that she now lives in Smyrna and works in Middletown, and is also newly married.  How amazing was it that thanks to my adopted ‘lil sis, I was reunited with my real ‘lil sis’ best friend at a Goodwill!  #blessed

What started out as a Black Friday turned into a Blessed Friday!

QVC Outlet

I’ve been working in West Chester, PA for almost 7 years, yet had never gone to the QVC Outlet which is less than 10 miles from the office. Today seemed like a perfect day to get out and window shop because I vowed not to buy any clothing in October. I am not a Monk and I broke my vow with a few items that were too hard to resist. Truth be told I was specifically looking for the Wendy Williams’ Adorn line, but they didn’t have it, must be too new.

The QVC Outlet has a lot of great bargains including summer season clothing marked 70% off, purses and shoes 60% off, home decor 40% off and jewelry 60% off. There was a very large assortment of purses, however, none of them “spoke to me” so none of them came home with me. I did fall in love with a pair of Anne Klein Kitten Heels and had to decide between black, beige or grey/lilac. I chose the grey/lilac because I’ve never had this color, and the price was right at only $20.48. I also purchased a Susan Graver skirt, $8.84; a Joan Rivers watch, $13.94; and a Melania Trump charm bracelet, $14.68, total with tax was $59.46. Now no more shopping until November, must only shop my closet!!!

Seasonal Home Decor – 40% off

This dress would look great with a pair of boots – $8.12

Shoes and too many purses to chose just one – so got none!

Aren’t these adorable?

I purchased the watch and skirt

Had to take picture of this customer’s boots – she purchased them from T.J. Maxx for $39.00, I hope they have them next month!!!

Have a fantabulous weekend – Smooches!
