Last month Thrift Town had a huge, and I mean HUGE, week long anniversary sale. Each day they had something different on sale from 30-50% off. I went on Monday, President’s Day, when all women’s clothing was 50% off and jewelry was 30% off.

Here is what I scored:

I know, it’s hard to believe I only bought 4 items of clothing and 1 piece of jewelry, but I had been sick for two weeks and it took everything I had just to find these few quality pieces. Do you feel sorry for me yet? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

This time around instead of photos of me wearing these pieces I decided to do a Polyvore type of thing (Polyvore is a website where you make collages of clothing) and show each item mixed with clothes from my own wardrobe.

Here we go:

I’m in love with this Lisa International Feather Cardigan. FYI: feathers have been on the fashion scene for awhile now. Sold at Dillard’s for $48.00…I know that because the tag was still on it…I got it for $5.00! I couldn’t pass this up, even though the feathers poke my neck. I don’t know how the birds can stand it.

I paired it with the one piece of jewelry I got…this zebra cuff bracelet ($4.19) along with a pair of gray dress pants and a pair of sparkly shoes that appear dusty in this photo.

Up next, this Olive&Oak tweed jacket. This brand is sold at Nordstrom and Bloomingdale’s. This particular jacket made it’s way to T. J. Maxx. How do I know? I’m psychic! Not really, the tags were still on it. I paid a whopping $4.00 for it. I paired it with a skirt and boots, but pairing it with cuffed skinny jeans and a pair of Converse is totally on trend.

Speaking of cuffed skinny jeans and Converse, that’s what I paired this Tommy Hilfiger sweater with! I love this sweater, and it only cost me $4.00.

Last, but not least is this super cute Briggs New York petite skirt ($3.00). It’s hard to tell but there are little colored circles of blue and green on it. I can’t wait for the warmer weather so I can wear this.

So, there you have it…my anniversary super sale haul. Total cost out the door…$21.60!

Don’t forget Thrift Town’s 30% off senior discount every Monday!
