goodwill goodies

 

yesterday, at all of the goodwills in the south bay, it was two dollar day- all clothes cost just two dollars! my friends and I went to a couple locations and found all sorts of great things, so here they are.

I'm really really happy about this coat. It's a little heavy for wearing at home most of the year, but it'll be great for when i go to San Francisco or if it rains. If I ever find time, I might replace the bulky buttons with little daisy buttons from the craft store.

This skirt makes me think of the opening scene in Hairspray, when she sings Good Morning Baltimore. I have yet to find a cardigan to match the pink stripes on it. (I don't know why I look so upset in this picture)

I am completely in love with this um- actually I'm not sure what to call it. It's too light and thin to be a coat, but it'll be great for windy days and picnics. The picture's a little blurry, but its a really cute red gingham pattern.

This bag is the only thing I paid "full" price for. It wasn't part of the sale, but it was too perfect to pass up. (it was still only $6 anyway) I love everything strawberry patterned and I think this is just darling.

This one's a little questionable. I love the yellow gingham and lace trim, but it looks a little nightgown-y. Maybe eventually I'll find some time to cut off the top and sew the bottom half into a skirt.

I have been looking for cute overalls for ages, but they've all been too 90s and sloppy for my taste. I love these because they're not formfitting and not too short or baggy.The lights washed this out a bit, but they're adorable light green gingham (sensing the gingham theme here?) 

This is more of a sleeping shirt, but I think it's really cute. It says "fast repairs and fast cars" if you can't tell.

I like this sweater a lot. It doesn't really match the dress, but I was too lazy to change. :)

I also found some great tapes- 

Fast Times at Ridgemont High (one of my all time favorites), American Pie, Blazing Saddles, National Lampoon's Animal House, and Part II of Titanic (I've have Part I for ages but never had this half).

All of this, plus floral dress for my friend, for a whopping $26.94. I'll won't be able to shop at a regular store ever again.

with love,

Julia
