old navy sweater · dexter kylie wedges {on sale for $19!)
i went to my favorite goodwill for the first time in over a month
yesterday and was inundated with target stock. this scarf and another merona bow blouse (i now have it in all three prints, thanks goodwill!)
and a necklace was all i picked up, but i think there was more thrifted target stock
than anything else. i should mention that i use the phrase "thrifted target stock" to
refer to the donated target merchandise that i find at my local GWs. i am not sure if i have ever really explained that before.
from what i have deduced over the years, target has a relationship with
GW and will donate clearance or returned merchandise to be sold
there. this merchandise is denoted with a specific color tag and is
rarely discounted. i have never actually asked an employee about this
before, this is simply what i have intuitively figured out over the
years. the merchandise ranges from clothing, shoes, accessories,
household goods, furniture, you name it - if it doesn't sell at target,
it will often end up at the GW. yesterday there was even a bin full of
it, all marked at 49c (nothing that exciting, sadly, mostly just shorts
& swim suits).
here is another one of my finds... a great j crew strapless eyelet/scallop dress {i also found an orange j crew shell!}. the dress is about 2 sizes too small for
me, but it was only $4.50 - plus, it's brand new with tags and the back
kick pleat is still sewn shut. i bet you can understand how bummed i
was that it didn't fit! but what could i do? definitely not leave it
there! do you ever thrift items that don't fit with either a) the hope of fitting into it sometime in the future, or b)
to resell? i'm leaning towards the latter because let's face it, i exercise about once every other month and i
know j crew sells well on ebay. i'll probably still find myself staring
at it longingly until i list it. have you thrifted anything
special lately?
i hope your week is off to a great start!
