My lovelies.... how you've been neglected....
PLEASE FORGIVE
thanks, where was I?
Oh yeah
Bailey and Marlaena's adventure to goodwill!
 |
| This is my "about to embark" face |
Although, I have never really explored Goodwill, I've heard nothing but good things from fellow females.
You may be wondering "Marlaena, are you gonna let those bitches swipe all the goods?"
I reply "hell no!"
With vengeful thoughts in mind, we set off....
The one thing about this particular goodwill is that it was located in a neighborhood filled with a much older crowd aka: People who have tons of crap, want to get rid of it and have no clue what the actual value is, (a "huzzah" is hollered from Marlaena when thinking about exploiting senior citizens.) It's also in the middle of f**king nowhere so car-less hipsters can't easily get to it.
The other thing I noticed about goodwill is how much more cost efficient it was ($7 dresses? Mama like.) This was handy since this was a thrift I really needed to pull the reins on my spending.

Let's have a look at some FUN finds
Helloooooooo amazing pattern! Beautiful vintage color scheme!
Sparkle-tastic! Not gonna lie, I kinda regret not getting this...
 |
| WHERE ARE MY HANDS? |
Wouldn't you just love to wake up to this every morning?
OK, now for serious!
ahem...
Like I said before, I needed to be even more frugal than normal, this meant taking a very serious look at a. how unique the item is and b. is it actually worth the price

| let the procrastination games begin! |
All right, first up we have a tasty little white knit I feel like I have been looking for forever. For $5 dollars I can certainly get on board.
Next we have a green shirt dress I spent much time debating. It's a kind of item you feel like you've seen at every other thrift store. If you need to spend this much time thinking about it, it's probably not meant to be.
Last but not least we have a simple case of it not fitting quite perfectly...
Every tall person's nightmare: Sleeves...

| BOOOOO- *gasp*ooooooo!.... |
Que Sera Sera...
Let's have a look at fellow blogger (Miss B of Living In The Past,) and friend to see the lighter side of this exploration.
Below we have a vintage red and white number that Bailey says is probably a lot older than it looks after looking at the price tag claiming it was made by the ladies garment union in old timey font. If that's not a giveaway, I don't know what is.
Then we have a "cute in theory but actually hideous" dress disguised by an adorable old lady sweater!
All in all, it was a very positive experience and I will definitely be going again but that probably won't be happening until the weather gets a bit better, (ETS is not to be trusted in these conditions.)
