A Goodwill Family Affair

Today my mom, sister, sister's boyfriend (Alan) and family friends Sarah and Mrs. Kay were in town for a 5k. Of course we couldn't resist making a thrift store stop on the way back from the race. A family that loves each other thrifts together, right?

Alan, Anna and Sarah prepare for the race (note: I was behind 

the camera in comfy jeans and sandals, ready to spectate)

As we'd hoped, it was a good day at the LaVista Road Goodwill in Tucker. Everyone left with at least one awesome item. I'll try my best to remember them all...

For me, three attempts at denim were unsuccessful, but I still bagged a gold knit top, a white eyelet lace top, green J. Crew shorts and a black top with some eyelet cutouts at the top. Grand total for today's four items: $17.06 (tax free weekend - woohoo!). I'm really loving the gold top (I hear metallics are acceptable to wear again!?!?).

Roxy eyelet lace top ($4.39) and J. Crew shorts ($4.39)... 

oh, and my Wal-Mart sandals

Rena Rowan for Saville gold knit top ($4.39) and Banana jeans 

I thrifted at Last Chance a few weeks back. Anna liked my 

necklace so much that she's planning to make her own at The Bead Shoppe.

Anna picked up a badass blue and white vertical-striped romper (looks vintage) that I will make her wear and take photos in. It's pretty awesome. She also grabbed some running shorts, a simple, lightweight tie-back tank from Old Navy and a funky patterned vintage button-up with red trim. Her boyfriend Alan snagged a pair of funky vintage pants that he'll likely have made into long shorts.

Nice pants and nice pose, Alan.

Our mom found a tasteful Liz Claiborne zebra top, some cute pinstriped jeans and several movies for my younger brothers. Family friend Mrs. Kay bought a pair of Ralph Lauren polo shorts for her son; her daughter Sarah found a great (like new) pair of BCBG kitten heels, a belt, green/flowered sorts and something from a designer in many girls' wardrobes — a pair of Lilly Pulitzer pants. But, I'm pretty sure I'm leaving out some items...

Happy shoppers.

And tonight, we're off to one of our cheap eat guilty pleasures: Ru San's.

p.s. we missed you, Paul!!
