1st Experience Thrifting: Plus Franchesca's and TJ Maxx Haul! :)

Today my roommate and I decided to try our hand at thrifting. We found some cute stuff, but I seemed to like the experience more than her. She was pretty grossed out and I can see why. I guess my love of fashion/a good deal trumped it. Anyways, we started off at Goodwill, then went to Franchesca's and TJ Maxx...maybe we can try out the other Goodwill one day soon.

But here's what treasures I found on my thrifting adventure! :)

Brooks Brothers Button down, I was pretty excited about this one. It's the first awesome find of the day. I love button downs and the preppy look and nothing says upscale preppy like Brooks Brothers! No one has to know it was $3.99! ;)

Banana Republic 3/4 length white button down. This was another great find! It's a fitted white button down that I'll be able to wear through winter and on into spring/summer! Woo! I LOVE that it's fitted and its super soft.

I don't recognize the brand on this, and it's a size 8...but it's 100% silk and i tried it on and it fits beautifully. This may turn into one of my favorite pieces! This was definitely a gem!

I've been looking for a gold chain link necklace, and I love the length and size of this one! And for $1.99 I couldn't beat it! :)

Anyways those are all my secondhand items I found. My total came to $14 and some change. I'd say I did pretty well for my first time thrifting!


Franchesca's

After the old gross feel of the Goodwill we decided to go to a cute boutique style store with NEW!

I LOVE this skirt!!! And it was in the sale items for $10!!!


T.J. Maxx

In the spirit of thrifting, but roomie wanting new, never worn things we stopped into T.J. Maxx...I found way too many things I liked. Oops! :)

I'm going to adore this top for spring!! :)

Saw this blazer and instantly fell in love, it's super soft cotton so it will carry me through until spring! Can't wait to make all kinds of outfits with it! :)

Express scarf for $6!!! So Nautical and cute!!

Steve Madden belts, they came in a set of two for $12!

Nine West bag: $17!! Best find of the day...hands down!

Here's two things my mom bought but ended up giving to me this weekend: Go Mom!

Recap: I ended up spending around $110 and I got 4 tops, 2 belts, a new purse, 2 jackets, a necklace, 2 scarves, and a skirt..Woo hoo!!!
Can't wait to go "thrifting" again! :)
