Rummage Sale Haul: 63 Items For $4

I was thrilled when I learned that the church is having another rummage sale this month because they are wanting to get rid of all their summer clothing and restock for more winter items. Therefore, they had A Dollar A Sack sale. And this is kind of dangerous for me because I could blow up my budget thinking everything that goes in a bag is a dollar and that's dirt cheap. But, I am glad I didn't do such a big damage and I came home with four grocery bags full junk. I mean treasures! 

I got up so early and I think I was the very first customer that showed up. If there was some kind of an award that says the most punctual customer, it could have been me. (LOL) But I like being early though, so I don't have to fight with the crowd and I can take my time going through racks and racks of clothing. It is peaceful that way. 

Anyway, let's move on with my rummage sale shopping outfit, which is just very casual with a shirt, polka dot skirt, and my new favorite ever so comfy Esprit shoes. And my brown bag that I also got from the rummage sale. I wore a skirt because it allows me to try on some of the pants while shopping because they don't have a fitting room in there. That is one of my tricks when you go thrift shopping.

Shirt: Men's Hanes shirt (Walmart)
Vintage Polka Dot Skirt: thrift find and altered
Shoes: Esprit via 6pm
Bag: Vintage and thrift find

I am so glad that this time I found quite a few clothes for my kids and not just for me. I even got a few items for my husband. It is kind of hard to find something for my husband because a lot of the clothes are way too big for him. 

Florals are what's happening right now and I was thrilled when I found this Vintage dress at the rummage sale. I am even more thrilled that I didn't pay a lot of money for it. I actually found a dress online that is similar to my Vintage dress and it is from ASOS except the other dress is a V-Neck, but still of the same style. 

Did I say I like my stripes or my Nautical Inspired shirts? I found these two Vintage shirts (below) at the rummage sale and even though it is a size Medium, I didn't care. Because when it comes to thrift shopping, you have to consider that these clothes are pre-loved and pre-owned (fancy word for USED), which means they have already shrunk. 

I didn't really care for what size the tag says, I just picked up whatever interests me, and I figured if it is too big, I can always alter it myself. That's a wonderful thing when you know how to sew. Even if you know just the basic of sewing. 

How about you, have you been thrift shopping lately? 

OOTN (Outfit Of The Night) Kids Version

I call it OOTN (Outfit Of The Night) because my kids wore it during my little man's first school Christmas Concert last night. I still can't believe I now have a Kindergarten and we just attended his first school concert. It was a great night and we are glad we made it. To see my little man up on the stage along with his classmates and schoolmates singing Christmas songs was special. 

We live in a small town Wyoming folks so expect it not to be all glammed up outfits. And, expect to see plaids or flannels and cowboy boots. Yee Haw! 

Flannel Shirt: ShopKo $9.99

Pants: Crazy 8 (on sale online) $11.39

Shoes: thrift-ed $2

(it looked beat up when I found it at the thrift store, but with the help of a shoe polish, it looked almost as good as new)

Total: under $25

My SAHM Style: Cold And Rainy Day

I wore this outfit yesterday when my family and I went to the school's Open House visit where my husband and my son go to. Like I said, I now have a Kindergarten student so it was the chance to meet his teacher and the students at school. The night went so well and it was fun meeting everyone. Thank you for the lovely welcome as well. 

We have had some cold and rainy weather this week, but the weather doesn't require wearing a thick coat, yet. I put on a black jeans and my favorite black loose sweater, then added a pop of color by wearing this Warriors In Pink Scarf and my first ever pair of animal printed shoes. On a cold and rainy day, I felt warm and comfortable while visiting everyone at school. My style is more of a low-key and nothing too fancy. I like to be able to put on clothes that doesn't require a lot of fuss, but still look presentable. 

Scarf: c/o Warrios in Pink
Sweater: thrifted 50cents
