Last Wednesday I drove out to the SA thrift store (NOT very close, alas... about 2.5 gallons round-trip) and spent about $30 on a whole bag of new-to-me shirts. I could use some new pants, too, but only if they feel like sweatpants and make me look like a runway model, so yeah, that isn't happening 😜
Then yesterday was the first Saturday of the month, and one of my thrift shops was doing a "bag sale"-- basically everything you can fit in a plastic grocery sack for $5. I lucked out and actually found enough stuff to make it worthwhile! Everything was 1/2 off the tag price, but it was cheaper to go with the bag, so for $5 I got:
- a NWT sports bra... after I tried it on at home, I don't love the fit, but it is fine for gardening
- a plain grey zip-front hoodie that I am just LOVING
- and TWO sets of scrubs (The place I am looking to start working in August-ish lets you wear pretty much any combo you want.)
One of the sets was matching turquoise top-and-bottom, the other was actually separates-- dark blue pants and a really pretty floral top. After trying them on, I think they look better if I mix them, not alllll that turquoise in one outfit. Truthfully, none of them are my dream pieces (don't love the pockets on any of them,) but I still have one pair of grey pants from my old school uniform, and I am psyched to have four new pieces to add into the mix for about $1 each. Most of the scrubs I see in the thrifts are either worn out, XS, or both, so I am super-happy with that find!!!
There was also a spaghetti-strap summer top I threw in the bag, which is very pretty, but I am not sure I would ever actually wear it... if not, I can always re-donate it, it didn't cost any extra to add it to the bag.
