Do you remember the storm I was caught in where I thought I was going to die? If not, I was stuck in Goodwill, as a micro-burst came through. I mentioned there were people still shopping during the power outage and hurricane like weather. I have a small confession. As I was preparing to die, I was clutching this $4.99 dress in my hands. I figured, I could either be buried in it or wear it to my cousin's wedding.
All my other finds were bought in storm free conditions like this $4.99 bebe dress. It looked ho-hum on the hanger but when I put it on, I loved it. I also bought the black beaded necklace for $1.99. Seriously, who would guess this was a Goodwill outfit?
I also found a really great pair of Gap trousers for $4.99. They are grey with a bit of pinstriping. They are a little long but that can easily be fixed. The shoes, I also bought from Goodwill, months ago, Anne Kline probably for $4.99. And, though not from Goodwill, the top was from Marshalls for $12.99. Can you tell, I love a good deal?
But, I didn't just buy clothes, for myself, I also bought this heavy round vase. It's about 8 inches across in diameter. For .50 cents, I couldn't pass it up.
And this white bowl for .99 cents. I thought it had a nautical feel. I am still not sure exactly where I'll put it or what will go in it.
Then there was this giant D for .99 cents {still in the box}. Are you wondering why I would need a giant D. I actually don't. I gave it to my sister. See, I am a giver :)
And, last but not least. As you all know, I just threw a ROCK a-bye-baby shower. It was as if the Goodwill fairies were watching out for me because a week before the baby shower, this professional pink child's guitar was there waiting...for me. For $5.99, it was the PERFECT accessory to the baby shower.
In other Goodwill related news. Next week, I am meeting a fellow blogger {whom I've never met before}, Erin from Just*Grand at Goodwill. I am hoping I don't have to throw an elbow in her direction over a .99 cent vase, that would probably be bad for fostering blogging relationships, right?

Those outfits are great, nice finds! If you're going to be blown away by a storm, at least you should be somewhere you love, like Goodwill. :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic finds. I can not wait to go to the Goodwill in our new town. The one here is not that great.
ReplyDeleteI want to go thrifting with you!! Those outfits are beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteGood girl - great finds.
ReplyDeleteAs always, awesome finds! Love that Bebe dress... It fits you like a glove! And you definitely have a good eye because if I saw it on the hanger I wouldn't have thought of trying it on. Loving the trousers too.. I'm a wide leg type of gal:P Okay so when are we having our fieldtrip;) Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI promise to be on my best behavior at the Goodwill store, at least the first time. And besides, I will be looking for thrifty clothing in much larger sizes than Miss Amy, so no danger there! Looking forward to this!

Oh you are so brave to post another Goodwill dress;)! It is darling and I'm glad you survived and weren't buried in it! I love that little white bowl and just want to put a piece of ribbon in it. I was so excited for a second...I thought you got that D for me! Okay, when I come, maybe we'll skip the tattoo and go thrifting instead!
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! Makes me want to load up my little guy and go thrifting :)
ReplyDeleteI wish we lived closer and could meet at Goodwill:( Great finds!!!
ReplyDelete*love* the goodwill stash you brought home! way to ride out the storm :)
ReplyDeletelove the vase and the white bowl. seriously great finds!
ReplyDeletewow those are all great finds, I keep telling my self that I need to visit my local Goodwill and see what wonderful things I can find.
ReplyDeleteNice Goodwill hunting (sounds cinematic, huh?). I love those pants and you scored on the $0.50 and $0.99 stuff. We have one Goodwill here where almost nothing is priced that low. it's ridiculous. The lowest price tshirts are $7. Pu-lease! Anyway, you done good, girl!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE shopping at Goodwill and other stores like it!
ReplyDeleteWhat amazing finds, Amy! You've inspired me to make weekly visits to the Goodwill now, because I used to never find anything. Lately I've been finding some good stuff. :) Love the outfits especially! Congrats on the HofH party feature today too. Megan
ReplyDeleteI would have been one of those people still shopping to the very end 😍. I have a sunshine award waiting for you, you can get all of the details on my blog.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I wouldn't have passed up that vase either:) And how fun to be meeting a bloggy friend! I just love doing that - want to do more of it in the future!
ReplyDeletelove finding good stuff at the goodwill! Good job on your finds! :)

haha glad you didn't have to wear that dress in a coffin. It just wouldn't be the same. ;) I guess if I had to pick a store to be stranded in during a storm, Goodwill would be a fun one. Way better than, say, the UPS store, or something.
ReplyDeleteThat bowl is really cute and unique!
