The last time I posted I mentioned going to the Goodwill outlet where I picked up a very fine crock. I also snagged this super cute fall jacket- don't you just love the red color and the gorgeous pattern in the lining? Because the Goodwill outlet is pay-by-the-pound, I am pretty sure I paid less than a dollar for this jacket (I bought ten items and paid $7 total...you will see more of those items in future posts!). The only problem was that it had two buttons missing! I was going to be in the neighborhood of a fabric store today, so I brought the jacket with me so that I could match up some buttons and thread (and buy needles...how sad is it that I don't have needles??!). I found some buttons that weren't an exact match, but they were close enough that you wouldn't really notice a difference unless you were actually comparing buttons. I spent less than $5 on materials.
After a few minutes of handiwork (and only a few expletives), voila!
How cute am I? LOL! LOVE the color and LOVE the fitted look. I can't wait to wear this to the pumpkin patch next weekend. ;-) (by the way, a special thanks to my husband's grill and the timer on my camera for taking this lovely shot)
Have you picked up any great thrifty finds lately? Leave a comment and share!
That is awesome! Looks really cute on you!
ReplyDeleteYou're so cute! Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat jacket, and you look too cute in it!
ReplyDeleteI find lots of thrifty treasures, but mostly 'things' for my shop,not clothes. I do really need to get some 'new' clothes though.

Cute jacket! Since the first time you mentioned the outlet I couldn't wait to go check it out. I have been there twice now, and it is so fun. I just went last week to try to find stuff for Halloween costumes. Kind of crazy, but I've been able to find some great stuff. I got a super cute skirt there for $.69! (It was the only clothes I got, so I knew exactly how much it was).
ReplyDeleteLOVE the jacket!
