Now on to our Second half of my trip to Washington DC (Ashburn Virginia)! Sarah took us to our last and final stop, GOODWILL...we were super excited to find some of our Fall must haves...I probably went a little crazy but I definitely crossed of some of my wants off of my list! I didn't take a picture of everything..but I will be styling them soon so stay tuned!

The place was pretty big and really well organized. That's my cart about 15min in...ughh

This purse was sooo cute...but I had made a decision that I had too many purses...so I gave it to Susie :O)

This poor Goodwill'er took the wrath of our dirty looks after realizing that there were no sales...no coupons...obviously prices were reasonable...but when you are used to paying $1.50 $8 just seems like a lot right?

Thank You SARAH for such an amazing Thrifting day...I miss your face...and I can't wait for next time!

Thrifters Anonymous


Here is how it works...
  • In the "Link it to" section, leave a link to one specific Thrifters Anonymous post from the past week or week prior...doesn't matter...
  • In the "Title" section, tell me what was thrifted cuz you were super excited about your outfit or new couch . An example would be "Thrifted Belt, handmade skirt, & shoes on sale!
  • That's all...and there is no judgement here...everything is worthy...and believe me once you link up you are officially a Thrifters Anonymous Member...FOR EVA..ha ha ok..or as long as I am doing this madness..

  1. First of all this the best Monday ever! I'm a proud thirfter and have now been recognized by my peers....hahha. Didn't that sound so official. Haha.

    Second of all I am in love with that aztec dress and the green dress. When you get tired of wearing them can we make them into the sisterhood of traveling dresses?

    Third, I really am addicted to thrifting....I need a 12 step program.

  4. I love the plaid shirt with the peter pan collar. I found one in the same print last week with a white collar and tie. Of course it was way too small...I bought it anyways and plan on using it as a dress for my daughter. Yours is adorable.
