Today I set out on a mission to search for some thrifty fashion treasures from Goodwill. After reading some advice from Beauty and Bedlam on Thrift store shopping, I thought I’d try my hand at it, in particularly to snag a few more BlissDom wardrobe items. So, since I don’t have access to any “rich people” thrift stores, at least in close proximity, I hit up the next best thing-a “college town” thrift store! I spent close to two hours in the Goodwill, and I found so many great items. I even had to pare down my selections, and still made it out with quite a few fun outfits for not only myself, but for my children also.
First up-Black Blazer Sonoma Brand-$3.00
Next, a blue Old Navy Trench-type jacket-$1.00 (on clearance rack)
Black dressy top Allen B- $2.00
I think I’m going to pair this cute top with the black blazer-Daisy Fuentes (Kohl’s) for $3.00
Gotta love nearly new Nine West Brown Pumps-$3.00
I thought I’d pair this cute short-sleeved Mossimo Jacket with my yoga capris for workouts-$2.00
I’ve enjoyed scarves lately, and felt like I really scored when I found this beautiful J. Crew beauty for only $1.00
Cute Red Victoria’s Secret “Pink” Lounge Pants- $1.00
A great variety of Gymboree, Old Navy, Gap, The Children’s Place, and Osh Kosh goodies for my 2 youngest children, all around $1.00 apiece!
For my first “serious” thrifty shopping trip, I’d say I did pretty well! I have learned that next time I decide to hit the thrift store, I believe I will attempt to go by myself, and leave the 2 and 4 year old with hubby, lol. I found so many wonderful items, many namebrand, and a lot in new condition. For more fashion fun, check out the Frugal Fashionista.
Oh, and as an extra, on Ebay I bought a beautiful black Michael Kors Jersey Dress, and a pair of Manolo Blahnik Black Pumps!!! Both of which were for a fraction of the cost of brand new high-end fashion items.

SCORE! I especially love the Black Blazer and the Nine West Brown Pumps. Great finds and easy on the wallet!
AWESOME finds! You’ve inspired me to check out our Goodwill tomorrow!
Those were FABULOUS finds!
It’s always easier without kids. I have to remind myself mid-shopping trip!
Have a great Tuesday!
I love thrifting! That flowy teal(?) shirt is cute!
Nice job at ther GW! I love thrift store shopping. I too find a lot of name brand stuff for myself and the kids. Do you have Once Upon a Child stores where you live? They are the best for kids clothing and toys. I do most of my shopping for my toddler there.
I am a big thrifter, but it is SO hit or miss. Your finds are great, though! I especially love the jackets.
You are gunna be hawt!!
