My mom is a fellow thrifter and is actually the real reason I am a thrifter myself so we spent a good part of yesterday and today going to different consignment shops and Goodwills and here's my haul:
A little overwhelming so I'll break it down by store:
I found all of these at the Goodwill in Harlingen. Honestly, I have enough screen print tees that I don't wear BUT I really liked this one of John Lennon. What can I say, I'm easily suckered in. I'll probably wear it with my leather skirt and black ankle booties. So the story with the Lacoste polo is this: When I was in college (2003-2008) I really really really really wanted a Lacoste polo but I wasn't going to spend $80 for one. That's just crazy. So when I saw this one at Goodwill for $3.59 I said, what the hey, and bought it. Looking at it now I think it might be too small...whoops. Either way I fulfilled my early 2000 girl dream of owning a Lacoste polo. The item to the far right is a sweater with small rosettes all over it. What I really wanted it for was as a background to take closeups of jewelry so I doubt I'll wear it much. All-in-all this haul was less than $11.
These three items were found today at the Goodwill in McAllen on Nolana. When walking in to that location I was immediately turned off. It was disheveled and each cart I grabbed made loud gunshot noises that I opted to shop without a cart instead (which is pretty uncomfortable if your purse is heavy). I was already ready to give-up and go to another location when I spotted the dress. I think it's supposed to be a beach cover up but it looks really cute on and I'll wear those Hollister Co. shorts underneath it. I LOVE that blush sweater to the far right. It's light, a little oversized, and will be perfect to wear with shorts or jeans. Spring in South Texas is where it's warm in the sun and freezing in the shade so mixing long sleeve with shorts/skirts is a go-to look for me. Plus blush is a color I'd like to start incorporating into my wardrobe more.
Last are these two blouses which might possibly be re-donated back to Goodwill if they don't go with the outfits I intended them for. The grey blouse is to go with that blue and red skirt from my previous post and the black blouse is going to be paired with the white and black dress from my previous post, as well. I'm not particularly attached to these two pieces so if they don't work out I won't be bummed out. Plus they were only $3.59 a piece so no harm done.
So all-in-all a pretty productive shopping trip to the thrift stores in the valley. I'm definitely spoiled by my San Antonio Goodwills but that doesn't mean that the valley doesn't have anything to offer.
I'll be sure to take pictures of my thrifted items as I wear them.
