Laziness Pays Off

This week I decided to visit a few Goodwill stores that I hadn't been to for awhile. I hadn't gone to these two particular stores for about the last 2 months. They just were not producing good items, and to make the best use of my time, I was visiting my tried and true stores. The two stores that I had not shopped recently also happen to be the closest of all of the G-dubs to my home. I wanted to go thrifting yesterday but was feeling lazy and didn't want to go far from the house, so off I went to the non-producing stores.

I was so glad I went! I saw a difference in both stores. At one, the merchandising was different, and the other, the organization of the clothing was better. I get the feeling that they had rotated the store managers. I know that they do this from time to time. Change can be good!

On this day I was mostly shopping for myself and not my online stores. I scored 3 new (well, new to me!) pairs of jeans:

Old Navy, 99 cents:



White House Black Market, 7.99:



Seven Jeans, 3.59!!:



I also scored a few new tops:

Ann Taylor Loft, 3.59:



Focus 2000, 3.59:



I would say that my fave finds of the day were the Seven Jeans and the Focus 2000 top. I love the colors in the top and the mod-ness of it. You can belt it and wear it with skinny jeans and heels for a night out or leave it flowy and wear it with ballet flats for casual. Versatile!

Of course, I found a few things for the shop too. Some great Florsheim men's dress shoes and a trendy tangerine colored Chico's lightweight jacket.




Both will be in the ebay store shortly.
