This Week's Finds

I had a good week of thrifting!

Oh yes, people, another pair of cargos! I told you I was in love with them! This pair is by Express and they fit so great. I got this pair of cargo shorts for $5.99, which is still a bit high, in my opinion. Goodwill unfortunately, sells all of their shorts for this price (or higher, depending on brand.) I think they would sell many more shorts if they lowered the price by one dollar. You listening Goodwill?


I popped into the Salvation Army for a few minutes yesterday and I found this beauty! And, every yellow tag in the store was an additional 50% off. So, this dress was $2.00. Once I washed it, the wrinkles fell out and it is beautiful. I think it will be a perfect "princess" dress for the "Breakfast With The Princesses" at Disneyworld in a few weeks.



I also found a great pair of Nike shorts at the Salvation Army. They were tagged $2.99 and I got them for 1/2 price as well. I forgot to take a picture of them, but they are black boardshorts and will look great over a swimsuit or with a tank top and flip flops.

And finally, another book! I found "Sophie's World" by Nancy Rue for a $1.00. Nancy Rue is a Christian author who writes young girl series books. I've been buying her books every time I see them and as of now, we have 6 of her books.

That's all for now!

I {heart} Cargo Pants!

I love, love, love cargo pants. Maybe because they are reminiscent of parachute pants from the 80's? Not sure...but, I can't get enough of cargo pants!

And, because cargo pants were probably popular the last two years, there is a surplus of cargo pants at thrift/resale stores right now. If I'm lying... well, sorry.

In fact, I tried on a very cute pair of cargos by Aeropostale today, but they were white and I'm just not ready to commit to white pants. Cargo or not.

But, I did commit to these! These are GAP cargos and I love them. They are so comfy and the best part? They are already broken in. I bought these at the Salvation Army and it was my lucky day because every green tag in the store was an additional 50% off. Yep! $2.50. Score.
