It’s Monday morning. Time to wake up those brain cells. I feel it’s my duty to help, so I’ve created a little math problem for you:
Which of these two cost more?
A gallon of whole milk purchased at SuperTarget for Ollie?
Or this outfit?
Would you believe me if I told you they cost the exact same amount? I found this Ann Taylor Loft sweater {$1} and these Banana Republic trousers {$2.50} in almost brand new condition at the thrift store for $3.50 – about what I’d pay for Ollie’s milk at Target. {Which is why I buy milk at Costco!}
Many thrift stores have discount days. I just happened upon both of these pieces on a day when clothing was half off. The trousers are a nice departure from my usual mom uniform of jeans and the sweater is such a delicate upgrade to my regular old cardigan. I wore this to a baby shower luncheon this weekend and felt like a million bucks – for only $3.50! Sweet.
- Sweater – Loft
- Trousers – Banana Republic
- Shirt – J.Crew (gift)
- Boots – Nine West (6 years old)
Join me tomorrow as I highlight a builder of women.

LOVE it! You've convinced me I need to be better and try out my local thrift stores here in Arkansas. I haven't given any of them a try just yet. Those are some amazing deals.
Where is the "Love it" button when you need one? Great outfit, makes me want to go shopping on this sunny (but chilly) day off in the NYC.
Incredible! This is extremely cheap!
I should try to find some thrift shops here in Barcelona, but I think they are not as usual as in the USA.
I just love a great deal! Awesome outfit! You are amazing!
You look fabulous dulling and all for a fabulous price.
Just so darling and classy (I especially love the flowery white blouse)! You look like a million bucks...and for only $3.50?! What a steal of a deal!
You are a hot momma!! Great find!!
I need to go thrifting with you, dealfinder.
You always look dashing!!
Wow! There are barains and, then, there are BARGAINS. Thanks for sharing and inspiring. You could have fooled me. I must locate a thrift store in my neck of the woods.
