Secondhand Chic

This past weekend, Leslie came to visit, and as usual, we didn't take any pictures. #bloggerfail
BUT, we did have an AWESOME thrifting experience.

My friend Emily came with us, and we headed up to Atlanta to go to the swanky Goodwill in Buckhead.
Y'all, we literally tried on half the store. I kid you not.
We all shared a buggy, and that thing was piled HIGH with clothes for the three of us to try on.
I legit tried on at least 30 pairs of jeans and pants.
And we spent two and a half hours in the store.

But, all our hard work paid off! I got several pairs of jeans that look brand spankin' new! And I got a few shirts too. I also found some vases for us to use as wedding decorations!

Here's the secondhand chic outfit I sported yesterday:
Plaid shirt and jeggings were Goodwill purchases.
Please excuse JC Penney's in the background. I had to make use of their big mirror to fully capture my outfit.

And jeggings have changed my life. They were so much easier to put in those boots than my skinny jeans are! Where have I been? In a hole? Why did I not know about this amazing invention until now?
I looked online to see how much those jeggins were originally, and they were $48! I got them for $5. Best purchase ever.

And I plan to start hitting up our Goodwill more often! You never know what little gems you'll find!
