Goodwill’s Memorial Day Sale
OOTD – The Big Cut Down
As stated in a previous post, when thrifing I don’t let larger sizes deter me from making a purchase because it can always be altered. This red and white polka dot top was a size 2X that I cut down using another shirt as a guide. I paired it with black and white polka dot capris also thrifted from Goodwill.

OOTD
A few weeks ago I wore this dress covered with a sleeveless top which I later unbuttoned to make it a vest. I think the mustard color of the shoes complimented the dress, what do you think?

OOTD – Bright Orange Sunshiny Day
Orange is one of my favorite colors because it can be worn any time any season. I love the brightness of this thrifted J. Crew top paired with the asymmetrical brown and beige skirt especially on such a warm and bright day.

Goodwill Deals of the Week – High School Preppy
With only 3 weeks of school remaining my son is still telling me about events or special things happening at school. Trust me, I love the fact that my high school son still wants to share this part of his life with me, but why is it always last minute? Anywho, he tells me that he and his buddies have decided that the next 3 Wednesdays will be “Preppy Days” . I remember those days, we wore IZOD polo shirts with alligators on the chest, khaki pants, boat shoes, etc. My son has jeans, sweats and dress pants so yesterday I had to hit up the Goodwill in Exton, PA.
I got him 3 pairs of dockers and a pair of Banana Republic dress pants, with the price tag still attached ($98.00) for $3.75. I washed the dockers and threw the dress pants in the bag slated for the cleaners. Of course I also found myself a few things and hubby gave me his waist size just in case I came across more new slacks in his size….gotta love it, it gives me more of a reason to visit the Goodwill stores because it’s like a treasure hunt!

OOTD – Grazin' in the Grass
With all the rain this month the grass was saturated and my shoes and toes got a little wet, but fortunately they dried before I got to work. I recently purchased this dress from Goodwill because I liked the criss-cross back and the shoes match it perfectly. I love the colors of Spring.

OOTD – Black & White
I have been wanting to wear these white pants for several weeks now but the weather hasn’t been warm or sunny enough.
Today is the day, and in my head I hear the woman in the commercial saying, “don’t wear white after Labor Day – who are you? – my grandmother?” The actress, Lisa Raye wears white everyday so here I am in my white pants before Memorial Day.
