Thrifty Thursday Nov 4.10


.
I think I mentioned a few weeks ago that I've lost 15 lb over the past year. So, you know what that means: loose clothes! And you know what that means: thrifting!
.
I've had a good week at my local thrift stores.
.
.
.
I found this beautiful wool coat at Frenchies for $11.00; other than the lining in a side pocket needing to be sewn, it's in perfect condition.











.
Every gardener needs a good pair of boots, but $40 is too rich for me. This week, Frenchies have received a truckload of boots and shoes; and I was there at the right time. I got this pair for $6! .
With working an office job, I often wear skirts. I was really pleased when I found these double packs of pantie hose for $2 each and the pair of navy for $0.50.
.
And then just as a cute treat, I found this sweet little set of melamine measuring cups at The Daisy for just 50 cents.
.
Happy Thrifting friends. And don't forget to check out Leigh at Tales From Bloggeritaville for more wonderful Thrifty Thursday finds.

I am seriously going on a hunting trip with you one day - you seem to have some sort of "great deal radar" or something!

That coat is amazing, and I adore the blouse/pants combo in your previous post. How does that look with the boots?
