Things I'm looking for: February 2013

Alright, another new month!  Here is a fresh list of things I'm keeping my eyes open too in the fun of the hunt!

1. Flats for me
2. Pants for older sons
3. Vintage nintendo toys and games
4. Novels to read
5. Baby shoes
6. Archie comic books- just got the urge to read them again!
7. A dress in a really unique pattern 
8. Sesame Street plush toys 

Thrifted Look- Afternoon at the Aquarium

This is my thrifted outfit from Saturday.  We had beautiful weather and went to the Chattanooga TN Aquarium.  My top, pants (Fossil brand), and purse (Wilsons Leather) were all thrifted from Goodwill.

More donations going out

This weekend is another donation time for me.  I'm bagging up shoes, more outgrown kids clothing, and anything else that isn't useful right now.  Feels good!

I've been putting off having a yard sale for ages.  It's just easier and more worth my time to donate.  

Goodwill Find- from 2009

Wanted to share a quick photo, so quick it's blurry!  This is a sweater dress I've had in my closet for years.  Wore it out today for errands and wanted to share.  I bought it full Goodwill price- 7.99 and put some patterned tights from Hot Topic with it.  

What I'm Looking For: JANUARY

Haven't given much thought to what I'm looking for, this month went by very fast.  I found so many awesome things that weren't even on my last list, isn't that how it is though?  

Ideas for the new month and new year...

1. Dressy black, brown, grey or navy shoes. Smaller heeled that what I already own.
2. A winter coat for my 12 month old, who is wearing 18-24 months.
3. Pants for my 8 year old, size 7/8 boys
4. Long sleeved light weight tops (Express has nice ones a couple years back). For layering and going into spring.
5. A purse/bag
6. Jeans for me, size 4/6 depending on brand
7. Anything towards my daughters cosplay outfits
8. Books
9. Super Mario toys (especially the plush ones)

What I'm Looking For: December

New month, new ideas.  Here's what I'll be keeping an extra eye out for this month.

1. Anything velvet
2. Clothing for my kids in great condition (sized 24m, 8, 10/12, and juniors 3)
3. Colored tights new in packaging
4. Novel to read in the new year
5. Great condition toddler toys/books/outdoor play things
6. Sterling silver earrings
7. Long sleeved tops I can layer with 

Thrifty musings for the new month.

Wow, can't believe it's December already!  This time last year I was almost 9 months pregnant and waiting on my Christmas baby.  He was born December 26th at 7:45am, just missed Christmas.  
I've had a great year thrifting.  80% of my maternity clothes were thrifted and 75% of the babies clothing has been thrifted.

One of my latest finds is this baby jacket from Le Top for 2.49.

Also picked up some cute clothing for my daughter.  The blue top is from Express 2.49.  The brick red top is Simply Vera 2.49.  And the black light weight coat w/o tag was 3.99.
