The Cherry Creek, Colorado Goodwill

One of the more affluent neighborhoods in Colorado (if you don't know) is Cherry Creek. The median home is about $700,000... so not a bad place to go shopping.  I took a trip to the local goodwill, which is smaller and surprisingly more unorganized then other Goodwill stores. Nonetheless it was filled with lots of high-end dresses, jeans and other women's clothing as I expected. I saw several boutique dresses with the tags for several hundred dollars or more.

So as I was browsing around a print caught my eye... soft, pink, white and black... a flowing strapless dress with a cute pattern in a no-wrinkle fabric. I browsed around some more and although I didn't find any shoes in my size I did find a Talbot's brand half sweater to go with it.

Anyway, I love the dress and it was a great choice... I am looking forward to wearing it before the warm weather ends.

In summary, I think the Goodwill, Cherry Creek is a worthwhile stop. Lots of treasurers in this location to be discovered. :D

Dress was $6.99 and sweater was $2.50

Something Old and Something New...

My daughter's birthday is tomorrow (she'll be the mighty seven years old). I purchased a whole bunch of earrings now that she can finally switch her first ones out. I wanted to display them in something fun and creative as opposed to some boring box wrapped in Hannah Montana wrapping paper.

I took a quick trip on my way home and stopped at my local Goodwill store.  There I found this ceramic rose covered box. I knew it was perfect the moment I saw it gleaming on the top shelf behind a bunch of old soap dishes and brass candle holders. I noticed people checking it out as I walked up to the counter... and I'm thinking... "haha, this is my treasure, go find your own."

Anyway here it is in all it's glory... displaying my daughter's jewelry just the way I envisioned it.

Six Shirt for Six Dollars??

As I sit at my own garage sale I'm posting my Six Shirts for Six Dollar feature. So this past Wednesday I hit the ARC Tee, Tanks and Trunks .99 sale. I found six shirts that I figured I could wear or resell. One of which was a Nike Dri-Fit t-shirt with the tags.

The good news is I sold the Nike Dri-Fit shirt for $6 and made up the cost already. And technically it's seven shirts. I added one I got for a dollar from a different shopping trip.

As for the garage sale... not too bad. I haven't sold my one big item however I sold a tennis racquet for $20 that I bought for $5.

Coming Soon - 6 Shirt for 6 Dollars

Could I have really purchased six shirts for six dollars that I can easily add into my wardrobe?

I think so. I spent six dollars on six shirts at the .99 cent sale at Arc Thrift Stores today and I think they are all fabulous finds. Can't wait to share.

In the mean time here are two all thrift outfit that I posted on my Facebook Sassy Thrift Chic during my Earth Week Program.  And don't forget to spread the word about STC!

Who is Sassy Thrift Chic?

One of my all Sassy Thrift Chic outfits!

My mission is saving money, saving the earth, educating others in the name of fashion!

I'm a single mother of two and I got into thrift shopping and vintage about five years ago when I lost 75 pounds. I needed to replace my work clothes about four times during that process and I didn't have the income to buy everything brand new. With no other choice I drug myself to the Salvation Army. On that first day I found a J-Jill skirt with the tags on it and other high end fashion. I was instantly hooked. 

My main goals are to share ideas about how to save money and where to go.
