| Yay for the hippie look! And what better dress to wear to "Peace Place". Right? Since it has been up near 100 degrees, I love the light, airy feel of a silky maxi dress. And today one of my BFF's and I were going to her favorite thrift store to find some things to heat up our wardrobes. This maxi is from PS Too in Athens, Ga. as are the sandals. I love this picture because you can see how W A Y out we are. But, like PS Too which benefits Project Safe, Peace Place is a thrift store which helps a woman's shelter. How can you not want to support that????  Look....rhinestones!!!! sigh.....sparkly makes me happy. |
 |
| I am possibly over-dressed for thrifting. And I don't care! |
 |
| The one and only......LEAH. Always perfectly polished, gorgeous and talented! (she is the one who makes all those flower pins for us) I would hate her except she is so darn cool!!! And she does it all with 4 kids in tow!!! They were ever so helpful while we were shopping. LOLOL OK, they are the cutest kids ever! |
 |
| I had to add this picture! I just H A D to. There are kids in the shopping cart and look at the bottom of the jacket...... yeah, little hands playing with the velvet. LOL Mother of the Year! (I have 4 also, so I remember) |
 |
| 2 hours later, Leah's kids look happy to be going home. I wonder who will fall asleep first? Probably Leah. |
What is so amazing about that is that this still had the tags on it which I just had to take a picture of.
 |
| $229.00-Jones New York.....I paid $1!!! I am so excited that I will not even talk about the fact that when I cleaned out my wardrobe this spring, I got rid of another green jacket because I had too many. sigh. But it was only $1!!!! |

 |
| And for my 15 year old son who loves listening to "vinyls", a little Queen. For those of us who called them records, they are now called Vinyls. lol We both also found some other great deals and made good use of the 8 for $8. And knowing we were helping another shelter, made this even better. Have a fabulous day! Peace out...... |
Where in the heck in Peace Place? I think I need to visit!!
ReplyDeleteIts right off the Jeffereson hwy. about a mile from the police station. On the left there is a billboard that says Peace Place, and you have to pretty much turn left as soon as you see it, and Subway across the rd. from it. Its a warehouse looking building. It is pretty fun!
ReplyDeleteWait! I am thinking we need to grab Joy and ALL go!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou are a queen thrifter! I can't believe you got that jacket for $1.00!!
ReplyDeleteLove how you wore the strapless maxi by adding a shirt under it.

Heather- I haven't had good luck with keeping strapless dresses up. A shirt prevents wardrobe malfunctions....especially running around with kids. LOL
ReplyDeleteyou are a maxi girl! you look awesome and is that a tee underneath? Perfect! (i thought it was a dress!) And OMYGOOOD that jacket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete300 bucks for 1 dollar! And brand new! and a great color and shape!!!!
I bow to your thriftiness, you are the reigning Queen hands down!
