Goodwill Hunting 12.20.12

Gettin Thrifty Wit It...Na na na na na nA NA,... Na na na na na nA!...You know you were singing along... ;)

We still needed a few more gifts to fulfill our gift giving experience this year so we headed back to Goodwill after work. (It is safe to say that 90% of our gifts will be from the Goodwill this year. With so many treasures for such affordable prices, one mans junk is my "omg...SCORE!!") I am thankful that I have people in my life that can appreciate this same awesomeness. 

Todays mission: find some more clothes for Logan (my oldest), maybe Wyatt (my youngest), my sister, a White Elephant gift for the E&C party, and if cool enough, something for us.

Extending Your Wardrobe

I am a frugal person and dont spend a lot on clothing...so I dont have a lot of clothing.  Utilizing one article of clothing in different ways helps me to extend my wardrobe into many different outfits.

For example: Style 1: My favorite Freddy Krueger striped knit shirt (I wore it so much i got holes in the sleeves now used as thumb holes).

 Style 2: Take arms out of sleeves and wrap around waist. Tie knot or bow. Can also be wrapped around the back.

Style 3: Tie sleeves around neck to create a halter top.

Voila: 1 shirt, 3 styles. Possibilities are endless :)

Below is a pic of my other favorite striped knit shirt with the halter top style tie :)
