Saving some GREEN at Goodwill!

So as of late, I have been inspired to share with you, as often as possible, my thrifting finds and projects. Though i may not seem so at first, thrifting is very Earth friendly. Being a thrifty gal revolves around the idea that you are reusing what is still able to serve it's purpose, without contributing to the millions of things WE DON'T NEED that are being made every single day. And usually, you can make it pretty cute while you're at it. So here are some fun recycled things of mine :)

This was a happy Salvation Army find. I had been looking all over the Ikea website, since my nearest location is Atlanta, and Target for a dresser for my new room after graduation. I stumbled upon this beauty for $30 and...after some sanding and painting, this old guy was reborn! ***Ignore the mess! I like to lay out my oufits for work on Sunday nights. 

This little polka dotted number (which you, unfortunately, cannot see very well in this picture) was perfect for a Spring Social during my Junior year of college. It was vintage, with a pin-up girl feel. I want to say it was around 5 dollars at Goodwill.

It will be hard to focus on the shirt in this photo, due to my handsome nephew Wren, but I understand :)

This black, Polo collared shirt was one of the perks of my job-running a consignment store. People bring in their clothes, and I'm the one who gets to go through them and put them out. You might say I get first dibs, which rocks! Love my job! 

And my most recent Goodwill purchase! This past Saturday, after a fabulous church picnic at my new favorite place, St. Francis Episcopal church (a later post will cover this...so exctied to share with you all!), Hannah and I decided to hit up the best Goodwill ever. One of the Goodwills in Macon recieves overstock from Target, which means you get brand new Target clothes, tags on and everything, for Goowdill prices. My most recent haul included two jackets for my trip to Missouri on the 26, a neckace (to replace one I had just like it that broke), Mossimo black wedges, and FOUR dresses for work for about $40. Can't beat that!  One of the dresses and the Mossimo wedges were my outfit for church this morning, with silver hoops, one of my Stella & Dot splurges, the "On The Mark" necklace, silver braid bracelt (a gift from my sister's ex-boyfriend), and a fantastic "T" wax seal ring. 

So there you have it! Glad to be back in the blog-o-sphere. With this new blogger app (Blog Docs), I will be better at this. I promise! I hope to do this every other night before bedtime. Love to all!
