A Day in the Life of a Shopaholic...9.17.11

I got up with thrifting on the brain.

I am fairly new to the process, but I am catching on quickly if I do say so myself.

I was in a Goodwill with one of my clients and saw the cutest men's watches in their lock-and-key jewelry case.

Kind of like this one.

I ALMOST got the silver colored, large-faced beauty for full price, (all of $20), but the cashier let it slip that the store sells everything at 50% off every other Saturday.

I was to go home for Labor Day on the next 50% off day, but I vowed to go back today.

I didn't get the watch I wanted, but I came away with my second choice which is similar to this:

Pretty cute huh?

And classy.

I made off like a bandit with the watch, $10, and some other finds I can't wait to wear.

Red Buttoned-Down" High Tea" Dress: $2.00

Black Elastic Jeweled Belt: $0.99

Black Maxi Dress/Fold-Over Skirt: $2.00

Red Clutch: .50

Tribal Print Wrap Skirt: $2.00

Blue Exotic Print Full Midi Skirt: $2.00

My Grand Total was $20.00 and some change.

I've heard so many grand things about K-Mart, so that was my next stop.

I tried on some really cute things, (including a cute kaleidoscope print knit jumper), but they didn't fit the way I'd like.

I ended up with three pairs of shoes instead.

Two of them were leopard print.

My last stop was Catos, which I bought a GRIP of cute shoes from them too.

Since my feet are flat, I found that heels and wedges do them more justice than flatter shoes.

I especially like those low wedges that linger from 1.5 to 2.0 inches.

I also bought a LOT of accessories, which were on clearance ranging from $.99-$3.00.

Annnnnd some things to wear to work that I couldn't help but to infuse with other stuff I bought and pieces already in my closet.

Here is what I came up with:

 




 

The Neckline on this dress is one of my fav. parts!

 




 

Snow Leopard Print Dress

Black Snake-Print Belt

Multi-Colored Cheetah A-Line Dress

Brown Boot-Cut Slacks

Which were all purchased on clearance!

The challenge will be winterizing most of the pieces I bought today.

I'm sure layers and boots will do the trick!
