LET’S GO TO GOODWILL: $19 SPENT
goodwill haul time! this is part 2 to my goodwill series. I went nice and early and was able to get 50% off a lot of items! here’s what I got;
1. Brown light jacket from Frenchcuff, size S. I really love this color it’s so perfect for fall! The belt is built in and adjustable so you can get a cinched look which I’m super happy about. you can wear this with brown matching courdory pants or even black ones with some boots. price: $5
2.White leather mini skirt from SheIN, size XS. This skirt has built in shorts which I’m so relived about because chile this is SHORT, like I can’t bend down in this lol but it’s so cute I’m gonna wear it in NYC for a party with some high boots. you can also wear this with light colors (baby pink, baby blue) for a softer look versus dark colors (black, red, purple) which will give a more mature look. price: $7
3. Blue riviera shorts from LOFT, size 00. These shorts are super cute and I immediately thought to pair it with a white top or tshirt, you could even use a sweatshirt and make it an oversized look. the pockets are super deep which I’m happy about too. price: $3.50
4. Juicy Couture silk pajama top, size S. I actually got this for my sister’s birthday (so don’t tell her). I love finding juicy couture and this was only $6! the silk is so soft and the back is absolutely adorable. price: $6
I might have to go to goodwill one more time before back to school because I loveee everything I’ve found so far.
I’ll do a try on post with everything I got so I can try and style these pieces. very excited. and thank you all sooo much for 15k likes and saves ♥️♥️♥️

Okay, so let's talk about the real star of my recent Goodwill haul: those incredible blue Riviera shorts from LOFT! When I spotted them, I knew they were coming home with me, especially for just $3.50. It’s moments like these that make thrifting so much fun. I mean, who doesn't love getting designer brands at a fraction of the cost, especially when you're thinking about building up your wardrobe for back to school? These blue shorts were such a lucky find! Finding good quality shorts at Goodwill can be a bit of a treasure hunt, but it's totally worth it. My biggest tip? Go early, just like I did for this haul! You get the first pick, especially on 50% off days. Always check the racks for brands you love – LOFT, J.Crew, Madewell, even higher-end denim brands often make their way to thrift stores. Don't be afraid to dig a little; sometimes the best finds are hidden! I always make sure to check the size and fit, as thrift store sizing can sometimes be a bit unpredictable. When you're looking for shorts, always examine the fabric and stitching. Are there any loose threads? Stains? Rips in unwanted places? I always check the zipper and buttons too. For denim shorts, I love a good sturdy pair that feels like it will last. For dressier shorts, like the Riviera style, make sure the fabric drapes well and isn't too wrinkled or faded. The blue shorts I found were in perfect condition, which was a huge win! Once you find them, the styling possibilities are endless! For my LOFT shorts, I'm picturing them with a crisp white t-shirt or a breezy linen top for a casual summer vibe. But you could easily dress them up with a tucked-in blouse and some cute sandals for a lunch date. For a back-to-school look, I'd pair them with an oversized sweatshirt and some sneakers for a comfy yet stylish outfit. The deep pockets on these shorts are a huge bonus for practicality! Another hack I’ve learned is to think outside the box. Sometimes you’ll find longer shorts or even capris that can be easily cut and hemmed into perfect custom-length shorts. It’s a great way to upcycle and get exactly what you want. And don't forget about different materials – I've seen everything from classic denim to linen, cotton, and even some unique textured shorts. Each material offers a different look and feel, so keep an open mind. My experience with these blue shorts just proves that Goodwill is a goldmine if you know what to look for. It's not just about saving money; it's about finding unique pieces, giving clothes a second life, and challenging yourself to create stylish outfits on a budget. So next time you're at Goodwill, make sure to keep an eye out for those perfect shorts – you never know what gems you might uncover!
