Spent about $34 last weekend and bought the following thrift store treasures:
1) 3 pairs of identical leather slingback shoes ($5.99 each) in beige, blue and black (like new)
2) A pair of bright blue leather shoes ($4.99) – great condition
3) Two distressed wooden frames ($1.99 each)
4) A pair of Adidas athletic shorts with pockets (finding this style shorts with pockets is really hard!) – $3.99
5) A decorative Christmas bulb holder (which I plan to use to hang the jewelry I’m going to wear the next day the night ahead, to make getting dressed in the morning faster) – $1.99
If I’d bought the same items at full price, I estimate they would’ve cost at least $219:
1) $120 for 3 pairs of leather shoes at $40 each
2) $60 for blue leather shoes (from Kohls, according to the label inside)
3) Wooden frames – at least $7 each — $14
4) Bulb holder – $5
5) Adidas shorts – $20
I saved $185 and am a happy shopper. 🙂
