July Thrift Haul

It’s time for another monthly thrifting wrap-up and this month I found one of my favorite thrifting scores of the year (so far)!

Pyrex Casserole Dish with Lid, $4.99

OHMYGOSH, love this little casserole dish so much! It is the Golden Garland Pyrex dish and it was a special promotional item released the winter of 1969. I was shocked at what great condition it is in and the fact that the lid wasn’t misplaced over the past 50+ years.

You can see some more of my Pryex collection here: Pyrex Love. I should probably do an updated post at some point since I’ve been thrifting Pyrex here and there.

Lululemon shirt, $5.99

I very rarely find Lululemon out at the thrift stores and if I do it’s either super overpriced or in a very tiny size. I’m guessing this one slipped through the cracks since there was just a little logo on the back that could easily be overlooked. I like the color of this top and the ‘muscle tee’ shape – but the size tag was cut out. I got lucky though and it fits, so yay!  

Peloton shirt, $10.49

This one got marked up because it still had the Peloton retail tags on it for $50. I love Peloton workout clothes though (their leggings are absolutely fantastic), so even at $10.49 this was much cheaper than I would have been able to buy this on sale.

Boden shirt, $3.99

Last top for the trip is this navy cotton slub t-shirt from Boden. It’s just a really well-made basic tee that will get plenty of wear in my closet. It is kind of the perfect oversized, slouchy fit without being TOO oversized and I’ve already worn it twice!

June Thrift Haul

I didn’t have a lot of thrifting luck this month, but I’m actually kind of not looking for much right now either… so maybe I actually found exactly what I needed?

Sonoma Linen Blouse, $3.49

This Sonoma shirt still had the Kohls tags on it for $30, so I was pretty fine with paying $3.50 for it. It’s just a really nice weight linen blouse with some fun details like the ruffle around the neck. With the buttons, I can either wear it buttoned and tucked in, or I can unbutton it and tie it at the waist.

I thought this could be cute paired with some of my skirts this summer, or even layered under cardigans for work. The warm-brick-red color is also one I really like, but don’t have much of in my closet.

Old Bay T-Shirt, $1

Yes, I’m a Marylander. So, when I was checking the men’s t-shirt section for any super soft t-shirts to add to my collection and I saw this one for $1 it was a no brainer. It is SUPER oversized on me and honestly, I could probably give this to my husband to wear, but dang it if it isn’t super comfy. I’ve already worn this a few times around the house with my comfy shorts… so I plan to keep on wearing it until it gets turned into rags for its next life.

And a Bonus Thrift Score from my son:

RC Snap Rover, $10

Jack pretty much loves every STEM toy out there and we have been very happy to find $2 sets of Snap Circuits over the years, which he has built into a giant project. He was super excited to find this Snap Rover at the thrift store over the weekend for only $10 and it looked like it had all the pieces. When we got home, there were some corroded batteries that needed to be cleaned out (I took care of that, since they were kind of gross) and once it was all cleaned up, it worked perfectly. We looked this set up on Amazon and it’s still selling for $89.95!

April Thrift Haul

This was a busy month, so I was thrilled to have a couple hours to myself to go thrifting over the weekend. I found nothing on my ‘ongoing thrifting’ list, but I did find four great tops to add to my closet!

Old Navy Embroidered Blouse, $7.79

I love a chambray shirt and I love embroidery, so this top was an easy choice and it’s giving me Johnny Was vibes. I can tell from the tags that it was released in Old Navy stores in Fall 2017 and it’s in great condition. It’s an XL, so it’s a little oversized but I’m just happy when I can comfortably close the buttons over my bust… so I’m cool with it.

I think this will look super cute with the sleeves rolled up and tied over spring dresses. I’m also planning to try it open as a topper over a tank top with a pair of darker denim shorts.

American Eagle “Ahh-mazingly soft” boyfriend shirt, $9.49

I’m guessing this shirt was an unwanted gift, because it still had the tags attached with the retail price ripped off. True to it’s name, it is pretty darn soft. I love the colors of this plaid and the oversized fit. It’s not very springy, but I’ve washed it and added it to my drawer to pull out next fall. It will look adorable with a pair of jeans and boots!

Rag & Bone linen knit top, $5.29

The neck tag that lists the size on this top was missing, but the inside tag on the inner side seam was still there to let me know that this is 100% linen and from Rag & Bone. I did a little Google Image search and was shocked that this top retailed for $160! It is super cute, but a little cropped for me. So, I plan to wear it with a higher rise skirt, or underneath one of my sleeveless linen dresses.

Lou & Grey top, $8.49

This was another easy top to track down, as it is Lou & Grey brand sold at Ann Taylor Loft. I found the same shirt new-with-tags on Poshmark, and it retailed for $69.50. I wasn’t sure if I would like the waist twist, but after washing it and trying it on, it’s super adorable. It is also incredibly soft and reminds me of a pair of well-worn flannel pajamas. I can’t wait to pair this with skirts, as well as jean shorts.
