Thrifty Finds 5/14/10

Hi pretty ladies, here I am again, I just came back from the thrift store and I spent less then $9! Yay for me! There's an outlet (yes, a thrift store outlet!) that I love to visit because everything is $1.50 on Fridays. I love going there first thing on Thursdays (when everything is $1.75) but because of work I can't go to get the best of best finds, but that's okay, I still find a few good things on Fridays, and if I look long enough and careful enough I can find awesome finds.
This is what I found:
I found this awesome skirt from New York & Company, the fabric is so soft and flowy and I love flowy. This is my favorite skirt shape, I think they fit my body the best, I'll take them over pencil skirts and pleated skirts any time.
Next I found this awesome orange dress! I love the color (of course orange is my favorite color) but the pattern is cute too. Now this dress has some stains at the bottom and is a little bit too long, so I'm going to chop off the extra length, it's also pretty stinky (smells like dirty thrift store) but nothing a good washing and fabric softener can't fix.
I also found this cute flowery dress, it's a Georgie dress from Wal-Mart, I love the flowers pattern, yes I'm totally nuts for flowery patterns,polka dots and stripes this spring. The dress even has the original belt 
Isn't it great?I'm surprised no one bought it! Probably because of the small tear, which I will happily fix.
The inside of the purse is so soft, not stiff at all like most vintage bags.
And it's Hecho en Mexico (made in Mexico) =)
Can't wait until tomorrow, I might try to hit at least one estate sale.

Thanks so much for your compliments on my sewing and for putting me on your blog list.

I just realized we are both Texas girls.

Either this week or next week I'll be doing a fun What I'm Wearing post where I am jumping on a trampoline and swinging on a tire swing. Have lots of sewing planned for over the next month, too. I have a giveaway starting on Monday.

I look forward to visiting you again. Be sure to say hi whenever you stop by. Have a great rest of the weekend.

That purse is gorgeous! Can't believe you found it at a thrift store.
