I was absolutely thrilled to find a brand new (tags still on) MUDD coat for $5.49. It is tan-colored "suede" with a fleecy lining. A perfect transition coat and I really needed one. I also found a cute white cardigan sweater with tags still on for $5.49.
One great thing about Goodwill is that they always have some of their clothing on sale for 99 cents. Today it was green-tagged clothing. I bought this royal blue Starter running shirt for 99 cents.
A pair of shorts and a paisley knit blouse (I LOVE it!) for $3.49 each (I think).
I debated about the flowered top on the left. It has a matching cami with it. They are made from kind of a crepe material. I was a little afraid they look "little old lady", but I know that the trend this season is florals. I felt much better when I saw something VERY similar at Target today. I think I can pull it off........and for $3.49 you can't beat the price. The green knit polka dot shirt was also $3.49.
This blouse was 99 cents and will be great to wear to work.
This olive green knit top is a really flattering fit on me, I discovered. I wished they had it in many different colors, but that usually doesn't happen at Goodwill. When I got home I found a hole in it, but it was in the seam and I quickly stitched it closed on my sewing machine (which was already up and running since I was up late..........1 AM.......working on a project last night. I'll reveal the project soon!). Good as new! And it was $3.49 (I think).
OK..............admit it! You're totally impressed with my thrifting bounty. Now get out there and run (don't walk!) to your nearest Goodwill. Drop me a line and let me know what great things you find, 'kay?

Nice finds! My local Goodwills don't have sale days or specials. :-( Still, $3-5 bucks for a wardrobe freshener isn't bad.
Goodwill is the best! Almost all my wardrobe comes from there....they have great brands, and you pay a fraction of the price! My best finds include a Juicy Couture hoodie, Cole Haan loafers, a pair of Nike Shoks (like new), and numerous like-new kids items! WOW! I LOVE IT! Our Goodwill doesn't have .99 items... :(
Good shopping! I like your finds, and what a deal. Check out my blog on thrifting at http://empressofthrift.blogspot.com/
Keep blogging, it's fun to read yours.
Great clothes! I love the flowery one and you are right, it looks chick and not little old lady. There is a Goodwill right by my office so I need to go there more often. I shop second hand for the kids more often than myself, I guess it's just the patience thing you mentioned.
Awesome! My husband and I love to go to Goodwill and Salvation Army to find great stuff. I am proud to say that probably 60% of my wardrobe is from thrift shops. And both our Goodwill and Salvation Army stores have sale days, too. Bonus! Have a great time on your trip! :)
I couldn't agree with you more! When I was down in Conroe (near Houston) a few weeks ago, I happened into a Goodwill and I was in shock! I spent $15 and got 5 tops. Then back in Dallas, I located my closes GW and spent 2 hours and $35 to get 11 items! A pair of Bandilino kitten heel sandals for summer, a summer "going out" dress in florals and all flouncy :) and a skirt and a bunch of too cute tops and soft vintage t-shirts. I was almost giddy! I don't want to spread the word too much though - I want it all for myself! Haha, j/k. Have a blessed day!
