I am in NC about 45 mins from Charlotte and 30 mins from Lake Norman. I think your finds are really awesome deals. I would enjoy finding some deals like that , but I don’t most of the time.
My hubby does for his clothes at the goodwill in Hunters ville .

Keep posting you finds, I know it helps so many people.

I admire your eye for accessorizing outfits from your thrifting finds. I’m a long term thrifter, but I don’t have that touch for putting an outfit together. Your blog has given me a lot of inspiration this past week.

I have some practical questions:

1. How much closet/dresser space do you have!?!

2. Do you limit your choices to wash-at-home items?

3. Do you spend a good portion of your life in grubby help-install-the-gutters clothes? Mowing the yard? Or even just housecleaning clothes? (I spashed bleach on a favorite Eddie Bauer sweater vest last week. It’s now a permanent grubby vest.)

I live in Charlotte NC and would love to know some of the exact stores you frequent. Where do you go that has discounts on different colored tags? The Goodwill I used to shop in OH used to do that, but like you said, now the Goodwills in Charlotte have the same prices everyday. I’d really appreciate some more details!

Where did my comment go? I know I’ve commented on this… maybe it’s at your other address? Anyway — when should I book my plane ticket to visit so you can take me through the thrift stores?!

I am ridiculously impressed! I recently moved and need to find a new thrift store circuit to check out. Those are some amazing finds you have there!

Thank you for your inspiration! The outfit I wore yesterday was almost all thrift stores or yard sales. A colleague said I looked “sophisticated”. The cost for the whole outfit including boots was at most $10. Thank you so much for convincing me to try the frugal fashionista ways!

Oh that would be great if you did a plus sized thrifty finds! I’m plus sized and HATE going to thrift stores for myself but I always find awesome things for the kids.

I have recently discovered the thrill and joy of thrift store shopping on those 50-75% off days. My husband and I spent less than 20 bucks for 4 UNWORN Banana Republic dress shirts for him, 2 skirts for me and 2 button downs for me as well.

Way to go on your finds! I look forward to reading this series!
