For the parents- Thrift shopping for kids

I normally show my fashion and beauty shops but this one is for the parents to really see what they can find at a thrift store for their kids. I have a 3 1/2 year old son and since his birth I have noticed how the bigger he becomes the more expensive his clothing is. If you agree with me I am never happy about paying over $20 for a pair of children's pants that he will grow out of in sometimes a month. I pay $20 for my own jeans but I'm not growing anymore so I can keep those same jeans for years.. I thrift shop more for my son than I do for myself simply because he grows so fast and I'd be throwing away money. So parents your kids do not have to have all those expensive clothes well you can find them easily at a thrift for sometimes just $1.95 : ) I got some of these clothes for my son my last visit to my local Goodwill. Each item is $1.95 and jeans are $2.95.

 This very nice button up shirt I found at the goodwill in 4th from the Gap. Not one stain and it was like it was never worn, no fading or anything very great condition.

 These two shirts came from Children's Place that I found at the Goodwill. both in 4t and in great condition. Just like being it brand new. I like Children's Place but their prices are becoming outrageous.

This is a yellow and baby blue striped button up shirt from Kennith Cole Reaction in 4t. I was on a role with finding like new shirts for my son at the Goodwill. Very pleased with the items and again I saved a lot of money from if I were to buy these brand new. The first shirt I would have been over $20.. So in tough times it's okay to shop thrift for your children especially when they are younger they grow so fast why pay for for high prices when they will probably ware them for a month.

Goodwill fun thrift shopping

Shopping at the Goodwill is fun when you find some great things at a fantastic price. I usually do not go very often but my son and I were chilling out today and we went to a couple places this afternoon. I did not go crazy but just wanted to share some things that I did find that I was happy that I got.
I decided to go through the tower of cd's. Usually it's oldies, or music I've never heard of or interested in getting to know.

So I got this Avril Lavigne cd, in pretty good condition I was surprised because even my own cds dont look this great lol. But I've always been an Avril fan. I have her first cd and I havent bought a cd in some time.... thanks ipod and iphone but I'm happy with this one.

Taking it back to the old days lol okay the 90's Space Jam was a great movie when I was younger and one of my favorite soundtracks. Michael Jordan plays basketball with Looney Tunes. Good shap I didnt see one scratch and not to mention this is the soundtrack where R. Kelly's I believe I can fly was a huge hit and I can say still is : )

Katy Perry's cd was even at the Goodwill. I already have it but I bought it for my mom. She's a fan like me and when we are in my car I always play it so now she can listen in her car and add it to her ipod. I never expect to find newer cd's at Goodwill so I had to get this and I will probably start looking a little more in the cd section and again it's in very good condition.

Simple and white : ) Well I need more white shirts for my job and since I was there I just went and looked for one. This is a simple Liz Claiborne polo. It's clean and bright... Just simple work shirt for me.

Now this is probably the best find of the day. Lord of the Rings The Two Towers. This was glass cased two disk set it was $4.95 but weekly they have colors that are half price. This had a green sticker on it and this is green week so I pretty much got this for $2 : ) very happy camper here : )

I am very happy with what I found at the Goodwill today, I usually never find anything I'm very excited about so I may start going through the cds a little closer. I do not go through the clothes as much because they just have so many and I don't like being at one place for hours at a time so maybe one day I'll find something : )

Happy Thrift shopping

Thrift store haul local Salvation Army

I normally find myself at the Goodwill here in Jacksonville, but I was in the area and decided to try out some thrift shopping at our local Salvation Army. Both places have great programs to help those less fortunate so I encourage any and everyone to shop at both locations in their area because all of their money does go to great causes and I have proof of that so if you want some just ask : )

Any who I did some shopping at my local Salvation Army and it is a decent size store for my town and the location. I did find some nice clothing items some not so great. I will be honest... I could have been better impressed but it's a thrift store I'm not going to be picky. There were some name brand tops I had seen Abercrombie, Hollister etc and prices were great some $2 tops and $4 jeans so very happy shopping for those who love thrifting. I did not go crazy and actually only picked up three items.

Okay this top is super cute, fits perfectly and it just beautiful on me. it is all pink with white polka dots and the bottom is trimmed with pink lace to match the fabric on the entire shirt and the upper back of the shirt is cut out with crossed fabric. Not showing too much skin but showing some off. The top came from Vanity, in Springfield about 30-40 min from Jacksonville. White Oaks mall has a Vanity store and they are pretty nice priced store but I have noticed the quality is not the greatest so I personally do not shop there too often.

This shirt I really just got for work. I have to wear a white top at one of my jobs and I was never a huge fan of white because I always got it dirty so I am on the urge of buying white tops right now. This top is from Duck Head Jeans Co. I have seen a lot of Duck Head at the Goodwill so I am semi familiar with this brand.

For the reader in all of us I bought this book Blind Eye by John Morgan Wilson. My friend John will be very proud of me : ) ( Not the author a different John) I am a pretty big book reader when I sit down and read. Once I start I cant stop. I can read multiple books in a month back to back. So I read the back of the book and it sounded very interesting. Benjamin Justice is a journalist trying to figure out his life from his past and how he wants it to go for the present while trying to piece his life together he has to work on a case with a friends wife getting murdered. It sounds exciting : )

 So I hope that gave you your thrift store haul fix a good viewing. I may try and stop in the Salvation Army a little bit more often. I honestly forget we have one because I'm not normally in that area much and find myself at the Goodwill ten times more. So I will check in there a little more and see what other finds I can come across. Happy Thrifting.

Fashion blog

So here I am and I have started a fashion blog to go hand in hand with my fashion videos on YouTube. Most of the posts here will go hand in hand with the videos ; )

I will do shopping hauls, fashion and beauty reviews of items I use and items recommended and I try and post of my style of the day either. They will usually be via YouTube because after I show off my outfit I like to talk about where I got each item from and little info here and there. I hope you enjoy yourself because I know I am. I love fashion and it's just a part of who I am!!
