Thrifting: Goodwill Hunting

I persuaded the J-man to take me to Goodwill one Monday. I had wanted to go to the one nearest our home, but J surprised me by taking me to a bigger store in Mooresville. Well actually, he had also wanted to go to this Indian restaurant, Mint for lunch, which was why he so graciously suggested the Goodwill around the corner. And I'm not complaining!

For $25,

HER:


2 comfy pairs of jeans


1 lovely floral skirt to twirl around in

HIM:





2 hilarious tees (love the forrest gump quote)

US:


3 hardback classics


SCORE!


Goodwill

And apparently the Goodwill in Cornelius is EVEN better! *hyperventilates*

Skirt-ing the issue

I love skirts. Mostly short ones. For my petite frame (read: vertically challenged), I don't think I look good in anything below my ankles. I have a few skirts that reach my calves, but that's about pushing it.

But I am totally loving this getup.


Via A Cup of Jo

From the round sunnies to the slouchy comfy tank, to the bright green striped maxi skirt! Imagine completing the outfit with a pair of gladiator sandals! Love!

I've been wanting to make skirts for the longest time. It seems like the easiest piece of clothing to make. Well, maybe second easiest.

I made a tank top using stretch jersey knit material before and that wasn't too bad.



I've painstakingly made 3 pairs of fisherman pants and that was quite alright too.



And I've even taken it into my head to attempt a hoodie once!




So skirts shouldn't be too much of a problem right? Especially if it has only an elastic waistband!

I'll be keeping a lookout for the perfect material to make my first skirt!
