Thrift Store Shopping - a Fashion Show

Every since I was a teenager, I have loved going to Thrift stores. I vowed to only buy second hand clothing this year (Although I did buy a shirt at Walmart for for $5.00 and a new dress clearanced to $9.00).

On the last Wednesday of every month, The Value Village has 1/2 off all clothing and linens. This was my first time going on 1/2 off day and I got all pictured below for $50:

The lamp was $3.00, the purse was $2.60, I got two table clothes for $2.00 each and I even got a airplane pillow case for Isaac for 50 cents.

Onto the clothes, I got Jason 3 pairs of shorts and 2 Mossy Oak Camo shirts. A dress for the girls, sandals for Claudia, and a very nice rain poncho for Marley.

Now my main purpose of my trip was to buy some new clothes for myself. And I thought that I would have a little fashion show for you.

A black top with blue Gap shorts: Print top with a Old Navy skirt:


A women's Mossy Oak Shirt (One of my favorite finds, would have cost at least $20 new) and Gap shorts:

A Liz Claiborne Shirt and red Gap skirt:

Fresh Produce shirt (for the beach, it was only $1.15 and Claudia has a dress in the same print) and yellow Abercrombie Capris

My other favorite item: a wrap dress for $2.65 (the most expensive clothing item of the day).

New Purse for $2.60. This sweater was purchased during a previous trip and I wear it all the time (also pictured is the $5.00 shirt from Walmart):
So I went back again on 1/2 off day and got all this for $12!

3 pairs of shorts and 6 tops:
