My Lucky Finds
Posted December 14, 2012
on:I am so excited to show you my thrift store finds for this week. I dd really well and am on cloud nine. Yesterday I showed my new Jean jacket and thought it would be fun to show you an outfit I posted previously with the jean jacket that now needs a new home.
It just doesn’t fit me anymore and it’s time for it to go. Here is yesterday’s look with my newly thrifted one from Salvation Army for just $4.99
I think you can see an obvious difference and my successful weight loss since beginning this blog….These photos were taken 11 weeks apart. I am so glad that I decided to show these two looks together because it was a really fantastic wake up call for me to pause and see my success. The weight has been coming off slower and I didn’t feel like the results were that dramatic.
Now, I am excited to show you my finds this week:
First is these wonderful booties in grey. I have had so much fun with my black and brown ones and secretly have been dreaming of getting them in grey. My husband loves them and the $4 price tag.
My favorite find for this week has to be this suede jacket. It fits like a glove and I am overjoyed because I had purchased a leather one in this color and is too big and the wrong cut for my petite height. Can you believe this was a mere $6.99? I would have to say this lucky find ranks up there with my Bass Penny Loafers.
Next are two fun skirts that are a little tight but will be perfect when I reach goal and for the spring.
I love the colors of this and the cut. I loved this silhouette when I was thinner and can’t wait to be at goal and feel sassy in this….
Love the navy blue and white graphic print here and nothing better than a straight skirt. I love how casual this one is and look forward to rocking this one…
Last is this Ann Taylor black dress with a cute little tie-waist detail that stepped it up just a bit. This neckline is the higher than I currently wear, but there is a reason I wanted it this time.
These bubble necklaces I purchased from Ebay is the reason I didn’t mind the neckline on the above dress. Can’t wait to find ways to style these delights..
Gratitude: I am grateful for my oldest son who cleaned up the kitchen. I am grateful to my three youngest children who all thanked me profusely for cooking up my BBQ chicken, bacon, cheddar with a slice of tomato sandwich…. I ate it without the bread…I am grateful that I listened to my gut and went into the JCPenney store to check for the shoes I ordered online and they cancelled, as I am now able to surprise my oldest son with the shoes he dreamed of and thought he was not going to get….
Dear Readers I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and come back to visit on Monday when I will show you pictures of what I wore to my husband’s Christmas Party!

Congrats on the weight loss, you look great! I enjoy your blog very much, and you have inspired me to lose weight and step up my wardrobe as well. I’ve gone from size 16 to 12 so far. Thank you!
