Instead of attending a Fashion Night Out (FNO) event, I went thrifting at the Salvation Army in Wilmington and found a few fall pieces. I am not sure of their pricing policy or if it’s the same at all locations, but everything here ended in .99 cents. The clothing and shoe prices are a bit higher than Goodwill but less expensive than a Consignment shop.
Issac Mizrahi For Target Skirt – $4.99
Briggs Harvest Suede Skirt – new with tags from Sears – $7.99 (blue tag = 50% off) – $3.99
Talbots Green Suede Skirt – $5.99
Blue Skirt – $4.99 (blue tag 50% off) – 2.49
Clairborne Mens Jacket – $9.99
Leather Loafers – $5.99
Leather Pumps – $7.99

Hello friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday! You know the days when you put on your clothes and something just doesn’t fit right, or in my case fits too tightly, well that was how my morning started. As you know on Sunday nights I prepare my outfits for the week but today it was a “pull from the closet” morning. I put on and then changed 3 skirts, 1 pair of pants, 1 pair of capris and 2 tops because none of them fit right…all too tight!! Not enough “labor” over the holiday, too many Michelobs and Seagrams so now it’s back to the elliptical with a vengeance and summer indulgences are a distant memory!!
After all those changes this is what I ended up wearing, an outfit that is color blocked with my Sorority colors Royal Blue and Gold, (ΣΓΡ ~ Sigma Gamma Rho), and hubby’s Fraternity colors Purple and Gold, (ΩΨΦ ~ Omega Psi Phi).
Top – Goodwill// Skirt – Old Navy// Belt – Rainbow Shops// Wedges – Marshalls
Bangles (separated ) by a large bracelet – Rainbow Shops// White Stone Ring – Avon // Earrings – Samsbeauty.com
I think I hid those extra pounds nicely!!

Saturday was an overcast and cloudy day which put me in the mood to do a little thrifting. With a dollar limit in mind and a $10 gift card I headed south to Goodwill in Smyrna. Upon entering the store I grabbed a cart which was taken by an associate because it remained empty and idle for too long. I was looking around in search of Cowboy boots and I hate pushing the cart in and out of the aisles during my search. I didn’t find the boots but found a few other items along with another empty cart on the other side of the store.
Aqua Maxi Dress – $5.00 // Bold Spirit Reversible, Suede Jacket – $7.00//St. Johns Bay Green Denim Skirt – $3.75
Style co Polka Dot Top – $3.75// Mootsies Tootsies Faux Leather/Croc Loafers – $5.00
Atrium Collection Blue and White Houndstooth Jacket with Bow – $6.00
As I headed back north to Middletown, I stopped at a small yard sale on Route 13 and purchased a belt and small makeup bag spending $2.00, the ladies were grateful since they hadn’t had a sale all day. Goodwill in Middletown is undergoing renovations, “to make it a more pleasant shopping experience” which is what the sales associate said – lol. Once again, the hunt for Cowboy boots was futile however, I did find a few nice skirts for the fall and winter season.
Multi Color, long sleeve top – $3.75// GAP Tweed Skirt – $3.75// Le Suit Black and White Houndstooth Skirt – $3.75
Chaus Green Skirt – $3.75// Mossimo Bronze Peep Toe Shoes – $4.00
Small stain in the tweed skirt came out in the wash and I will be removing the bows on the jacket because it cuts tight across the chest.

Last week I saw a post on the GoodwillDE Facebook page that featured items from their Kirkwood Highway store, I’ve never been to that location and wanted to check it out. So on Friday I rode with Tayair to Newark where he attended a picnic sponsored by The Community Connectors and then I drove to Goodwill (saving gas) to shop. Malik returns to school on the 28th and I found him some new shirts and polos for $5.00 and $6.00 each.
On this trip I was only looking for fall and winter items because Goodwill is now selling their summer items at 50% every Tuesday.
100% Wool Argyle Sweater – $5.00
Short Sleeve Polo Shirts – $3.75 each
Perfect for Breast Cancer Awareness Day at school
Sweater Vest which he likes to show off his muscular arms!! – $1.88
These 2 skirts made great additions to my fall wardrobe and I will wear them with tights and boots when the weather cools. – $6.00 each
This black mock neck sweater was a bit pricey at $8.00, but I liked the silver buckles across the front, I washed it in a lingerie bag on the hand wash cycle it came out perfectly.
These animal print pants was a last minute decision and I’m not sure if I will wear them, but if I do, it will be with a long sweater and boots -$3.75
.
Finally this sleeveless top is a transitional piece that I will wear now and then under a blazer in the fall and winter – $3.75

Sitting at one of the many stop lights on 202 South, I was looking through coupons and realized I had a $5 off $25 coupon for Old Navy that was about to expire. I love the Old Navy mannequins and commercials but I love their bargains more. Shopping at Old Navy is like being at a casino hitting mini jackpots because there are always marked down items mixed in among the regular priced ones.
I hit with two maxi skirts and a pair of espadrilles for $21.97.
