Winning The Goodwill Jackpot

I just had to post again--I am so darn happy!!!

I delivered the two giant bags of winter jackets and coats to Goodwill and then went inside to see if I could find a skirt or a pair of jeans.

For $56 I scored:
One dressy black skirt
One tan corduroy skirt
One pair of LLBean Perfect Pant cropped pants (for warm weather dog walking)
One pair of Lee Jeans (tall) in grey denim
One pair LLBean jeans (tall) in black denim
One pair of LLBean dark green corduroy pants (tall) (winter dog walking)
One pair of recently dry cleaned 100% wool LLBean slacks (lined) in my favorite color-- dark green
And best of all, right before I walked off to the checkout
One navy wool LLBean Blazer (three button) that fits PERFECTLY!!!!

PLUS!  All the coats I dropped off were on hangers and on the racks with good prices ($14.99 and 19.99) so they opened the bags and quickly priced and got the coats out into the store for sale.  Than made me very happy.

So, with my BLAZER and the rest of my goodies in my arms I arrived at the cash register with a huge smile and I think I was giggling.  The big smile has been firmly in place ever since.

I just wanted to share this miracle of thrift shopping with you.  This has never happened to me before!!! Remember I was trying to fit into that other "test" blazer (14) during the diet.  And it just wasn't working for me (the sleeves were too long, the shoulder pads too wide, the hip too narrow).  This blazer fits in the sleeve, no big shoulder pads, the hem cuts above my widest parts.  This is something I can wear almost everyday.

Two days after Christmas is the time to visit Goodwill!!!
