Thrifting "Wacky Wednesday" Boasts Several Great Finds

$40. Nothing but time. Me vs. The Salvation Army Family Store. The day? Wacky Wednesday. What does that mean, you ask? A store full of the new shipment of clothes, all half off. Thrifter's heaven. It took everything in me not to bring the whole women's section home, however I settled with these 9 pieces. Be honest, are they drab or Fab? Take a look see:
1. Westbound Multicolor Windbreaker: Used to achieve that '90s style that's making it's way back into pop culture. Paired with a cuffed light wash jean and cute sneakers & You're GTG. 
2. Coldwater Creek Denim Jacket: the all-too-versatile denim jacket can be worn with just about anything. Dressed up or worn down, it's sure to add flair to any outfit.
3. Adidas Originals Track Jacket: RUN-DMC inspired, I plan to break out the all-white shelltoes and a gold chain for the throwback look for a casual weekend look.
4. Lauren By Ralph Lauren Striped Shirt: Nothing's says accomplishment to a thrifter like finding name brands at such low prices. This simplistic striped baby blue button down can be worn with khakis and Sperry's or denim and Converse.     
5. Charter Club "Trinidad James" Button Down Collared Shirt: What's bigger now than black/gold/red outfits? This shirt features gold chains with accents of red. Personally, I'd wear it under a black leather jacket, black pants, and your favorite neutral colored boot for that regal 'Yeezy' look.
6. L.L. Bean "Wrinkle Free" Pint-Striped Button Down: just as simplistic as #4, the wrinkle-free material is great for this weather. It'll go great with some navy searsucker pants and some dark Brown Cole Haan loafers. 
7. Royal Park Plaid Creased Slacks: I couldn't leave these in the store. The white, navy, and orange accents would work well with a solid cardigan and a white Oxford shirt. 
8. New York & Company Everyday Slacks: gray with a barely visible black pint stripe pattern, they can be worn for business casual or business professional. 
9. Betsey Johnson Oversized Boyfriend sweater: with the amazing color combination, this sweater is key in color blocking. Throw on a basic legging & some UGGs and you'll be warm and stylish. 

So how did I do? Did I inspire any of you thrifting fashionistas? Hopefully your haul was just as lucrative if you participated in Wacky Wednesday. Until next time, good luck & happy thrifting!
