Going Ga-Ga for the Goodwill

29 Sep 2009

goodwill_logo_5121

First things first. Allow me to apologize for the quality pictures you are about to see. We only have one camera in our family and my husband took it today. What you are about to witness is the poor quality of a camera phone. But I lost my marbles at the Goodwill today and thought it would be inappropriate if I didn’t share my loot for y’all to see. :) And no, I couldn’t wait for the camera. Shall we?

Guess Shirt Dress.

Never you mind those wrinkles.

7I love the Indiana Jones-ishness.

Or perhaps a preppy safari?

Forget I said preppy. I’m wearing this baby with boots!

Try to stop me.

I have the same exact pair in a walking short length.

I LOVE THESE.

They have a stretchy waist and feel like a yoga pant…

but no one would ever know that because your shirt covers it.

They are my favorite shorts to travel in… I feel like I’m walking around in my pajamas! So you can only imagine my excitement when I spotted these pants at the GW!

I’d say that is a pretty successful trip to the Goodwill. :)

    Great finds! Did you hit the half-off day? I know most of the GW have a half-off clothing day. And any day that you find something that reminds you of Indiana Jones is a good day!! LOL!!!

    I absolutely LOVE Goodwill! I refuse to pay retail when I can get everything for a fraction of the cost by making frequent trip to Goodwill. I purchase all my families clothes there. I get my daughters clothes (aeropostle, limited too, old navy etc.)for $1.25 and on half price sales, even less!. We always get compliments on how great we look, if only the knew how little we paid!
