I'm Janine, wife to Donny and mama to Sebastian (age 18 months).

I believe in buying secondhand, in basic and natural products, and in living fabulously on any budget. More about us.

Monday’s Thrift Finds

Goodwill Sandals, Chain Necklace & ScarfGoodwill Sandals, Chain Necklace & Scarf (Closeup)

I hadn’t been thrift shopping in what seemed like forever, so I was excited to shop a bit when we dropped off some donations at Goodwill on Monday. I made off with this pair of brand new gold wedge sandals, a small silver chain necklace and this silky scarf in perfect summer colors. The small haul was under $20. A year or two ago it would have been under $10 but Goodwill is implementing some major inflation. (I was actually at Value Village today and they seem to be doing the same, le sigh.) Worn together, I find the items above to be the perfect mix of warm weather glam and nautical styles.

What’s on your summer fashion shopping list? What have you thrifted so far this season?

    Love the sandals, they remind me of gladiator style sandals :)

    It has been too long since I’ve had a rewarding day of thrifting.

    Oooh they go together perfectly. I haven’t been thrift shopping in awhile actually. I guess it’s because I like to make it an all day thing and go to like 5 different stores.

    I JUST WENT THRIFTING LAST SUNDAY (got 4 tops, an ugly knitted sweater, a cardigan with swans lol, and flats). Haha, all caps, such excitement. Got a bit bothered cos the shop miscalculated my purchases and overcharged me by 60 pesos (1USD = PHP45; I didn’t know ’til I got home and added up everything). Oh well, I spent a little less than I would on a pair of brand new wedges, so it’s all right.

    Weather here is weird, it’s been raining during the afternoons but it still gets really warm during the day; I think I jinxed the rainy season when I raved about it on my blog.
