Lips For Days

I'm always excited about my Goodwill/thrift/budget finds but this H&M Lip Formed It-Bag has me over the moon!  From the quirky yet cute style to the fact that it's an cross body bag to that it'll be the perfect pop of color any time of the year, it's a complete and total find!

Don't mind my toes 

This bag is circa 2014 and was endorsed by Ashley Benson from the ever popular show Pretty Little Liars.  Her all white ensemble is definite inspiration on just one way to wear this handbag.  I found this little baby at the Goodwill on I10 and Dezevala for $3.99 and knew I HAD to have it!  After purchasing it I literally went straight to my car and immediately switched handbags and began using it.  Totally excited about this bag, if you can't tell!

19 WTF Things You Could Only Find At Goodwill

Omg, I LOVE this!  Literally laughing out loud!

Flowers On The Wall

Let's face it, floral artwork can teeter on the "hotel room" feel at times. However, when you find a piece that is cute, quaint, and charming you've gotta grab it.  

I found this piece at the Goodwill on 281 and Thousand Oaks the other day for $2.99.  Frames can cost more than the artwork itself so if you find a piece that you like while thrifting and it has a good frame around it I say go for it.

As I continue to blog I'll post more pictures of the other home decor items I've found at Goodwill since moving to San Antonio. Believe me, I have a lot!

Pink Looks Good On Everything

I've been having some wonderful luck at Goodwill lately!  After my sister and brother-in-law left back to Dallas this afternoon Isaac and I made a quick trip to the Goodwill on 281 and Thousand Oaks.  I was coming up pretty empty handed in the clothing side so I moseyed myself on over to the shoes and decor section and that's when the Goodwill Gods smiled upon me!

How perfect are these pink New Balance sneakers?!  I've been pinning pink sneakers on pinterest lately and I feel like somehow by doing that the sneakers have magically manifested themselves in front of me!  The crazier thing is that they are exactly my size and don't appear to have been worn.  *cue eerie music*

Currently they are retailing for about $99 online but I was lucky enough to find them for $9.99!  Total steal!

Truth be told I'm not much of a tennis shoe person but I do have a thing for sneakers with suede.  I can't wait to wear these with skinny jeans in the fall/winter.  This heat is no joke and just the thought of wearing pants outdoors during this season makes me break in to a sweat.

Anyway-I'm really excited about this find!  I did make other Goodwill purchases today that I'll share in another entry.  Thanks for reading!

Be The Pineapple

Pineapples are hot, hot hot, this summer!  And why shouldn't they be?  They're delicious, nice to look at, and are great in a cocktail.

I found this shirt at the Goodwill on I10 and Dezevala for $2!  I've had it since April but I'm not much of a t-shirt girl even though I have a slew of them in my closet.  I finally found a combo for wearing tees that works for me: high waisted shorts/jeans with the tee tucked in.  Gives it a major 70s vibe.  Off topic.  Anyway-this shirt is from JC Penney and is adorable.  I've seen similar shirts at H&M and Forever21 ranging anywhere between $15-$30 so I'm pretty thrilled that I found this at the price I did.

Feel free to share your favorite pineapple accessories! Besides the shirt this is one of my favorite:

My good friends Victor and Lori gave it to me for Christmas.  Describes me to a "T"!

Hope y'all are having fun out there in the summer heat!  Stay cool and be sure to donate to your local thrift stores!

Tips

Hey out there!

Here's a little tip for y'all: right now is prime time to be stocking up for your fall/winter wardrobe!  I know it sounds crazy to be thinking of buying suede, leather, jackets, sweaters when it's 100 degrees outside but trust me on this.  With summer in its prime time people are sick of looking at clothes that make them break in to a sweat just looking at them.  Thankfully so many of these people donate their clothes and that's where we come in!

Here are a few of my fall/winter finds from today:

This suede purple skirt was too cute to pass up.  It's high waisted and has a small slit on the left leg.  I love high waisted skirts because they're so versatile.  You can wear a blouse over them, tuck it in, if it's a button down blouse you can tie a knot at the end.  Plus the fact that it's purple makes it all the better (since it's my favorite color).  I found this at the Goodwill on I10 and Dezevala and it was $4.29.  They have the sweetest employee there who greets everyone and sings all day. Half of the reason why I love that location is because of her.  

Next we have this awesome Wilson's Leather high waisted mini skirt. Can you tell I really like high waisted bottoms?  I found this little gem at my favorite consignment shop Uptown Cheapskate at the Huebner Oaks shopping center and it was only $9.99!  Total steal!  If I'm anything I'm consistent with my style and this skirt is extremely similar to the purple suede one in terms of fit and cut, but when you find what works for you you stick with it!  I'm really excited to wear this in the fall/winter time.  I already have a few outfits planned for this baby.  (PS my blouse in this photo is from Goodwill, also.  It's by Zara and I snagged it for $2!)

Again, I know this summer heat makes me look crazy for trying on coats, jackets, sweaters, etc. right now but it'll be paying off soon!  Keep yourselves cool out there and don't hesitate to email me at CynthiaEdee@gmail.com if you have any questions!
