Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Shopping Finds- Thrift Store Looks

February 23, 2017 by Katie Haller

Whenever I have a Monday off work for a holiday, I always try to make a trip to Savers to check out their sales.  This President’s Day, I couldn’t help myself but to drive up and check out the 50% off sale.  I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, but I ended up finding some really cute things at a great price as always! 

Here are some of my findings.  I put together a few looks that I can’t wait to wear!

This grey Target cardigan was only $3.  I love cardigans and grey goes with everything.  I thought it looked really nice with this teal tunic, which was only $3 as well. 
I really liked this olive green long sleeve top.  It’s super lightweight and it has a nice fit.  It was only $2. 
I also found this brown cardigan for $4.  I don’t have anything brown like this, so I thought it would be nice to have in my cardigan collection.  I paired it up with the olive green top.

I always feel like my closet is lacking color, so I bought this rust orange color cardigan.  It’s the same as my grey H&M cardigan that I wear all the time, so I knew I would like it.  It was only $3. 
I’m always looking for cute shorts, so I was excited when I found these Abercrombie jean shorts for only $5.  With the hot Las Vegas summers, I knew I would be needing more shorts.  I also love the statement necklace I found for $2.99.  I love how simple it is and how you can wear it with any look to dress it up. 
I can’t wait to incorporate these items into my everyday looks!
Happy thrift shopping!

    Thrifting is the best thing! Every time someone asks me where I got one of my outfits, it's pretty much always from goodwill or another thrift store (or the crazy deals at Kohl's clearance racks) 😉

🖤 What I wore as a SAHM this week 🖤 I just 🖤 What I wore as a SAHM this week 🖤

I just realized that I don't think that I have missed a daily outfit post in 2023 yet. That means that I have shared every outfit that I have worn so far this year, which is pretty good! 

I have always loved sharing my real life daily outfits. I always shared my work outfits when I was teaching preschool, but after I stopped working it was harder for me to stay consistent on sharing my daily outfits because I didn't think my SAHM outfits were "instagram worthy". Last year I decided that I should try sharing a round up in a reel to show what I actually wore on a daily basis and it's been so fun ever since! 

So many of you told me that you found me through these reels and that makes me so happy! I hope these outfits help you step up your daily style even if you are only potty training a toddler that day. (Like I am at the moment 🤣)

Last weekend I was stumped on what to wear on an o Last weekend I was stumped on what to wear on an overnight staycation without the kids. I wanted an outfit that was practical for the cold weather and the afternoon, but also something I could wear out for a nice dinner later on in the evening. This is what I decided on...

✨ I like wearing bodysuits under my clothes in the winter. They help keep me warm and also cover up any skin that might show through when you sit. 

✨ My plum sweater from @gibsonlook transitioned perfectly from day to night. (Use code: THRIFTYWIFE10 for 10% off!)

✨ For pants and shoes I wore @express skinny jeans for day time. They work best with my Chelsea boots. Then for night I wanted to wear my favorite lightwash straight leg jeans (old) with heels. 

✨ Cute outerwear is so important in the winter. You have to layer up when it's cold and you plan on walking around outside. I found my camel wool coat to be warm, especially with my hat and scarf. I also wore thick boot socks to keep my feet and ankles warm!

Today #ontheblog I am talking about my recent clos Today #ontheblog I am talking about my recent closing clean out. I go through my closet seasonally to get rid of the clothes that aren't getting worn, but at the end of last year I felt like my closet had an overload of clothes and I needed to do a major refresh! 

I ended up parting ways with a lot of clothes, but there were some that I keep every time I do a clean out because they are my favorites and still hold their value in my wardrobe. 

✨Little black dress- I bought in 2011 for my rehearsal dinner. 
✨ Polka- dot blouse from @lclaurenconrad I bought in 2014. 
✨Metallic skirt- I bought this in 2011 to wear for Christmas Eve. 
✨ Chambray button down shirt. I bought it in 2014 at Target and I haven't found a better one to replace it with. 
✨ Thrifted @oldnavy denim jacket. These just get better with wear! 
✨ Gold strappy sandals I bought in 2007 to wear to a fraternity formal in college. They still get worn when I need a fun shoe! 

What is the oldest piece of clothing in your wardrobe?

✨A New Day Slide Sandals- 7 ½- Cute slide sandals for spring! I love the little heel! They fit TTS!
✨A New Day Mule Heels- 7 ½- I love the straps on these heels.  They are very comfortable! Available in multiple colors.

I found some fun pieces on my latest @amazon order I found some fun pieces on my latest @amazon order! Here's how they look! 

T-shirt hoodie- $21.50- I love this top! It feels like a t-shirt so it's perfect for layering under jackets! 

Flare leggings $24.99- aka yoga pants. These pants take me back to the early 2000's. I am loving them! 

Tunic $24.98- Love this tunic! It's a great length. Perfect for layering under sweaters! 

Matte faux leather leggings- These are the best faux leather legging dupe for the Spanx I have found so far! 

Wide leg trousers- I have loved these pants on everyone else, but they weren't my favorites. I still felt that they are a great pair of trousers!
