A couple of posts back I mentioned how I had found some amazing finds at my local Thrift Town here in Albuquerque, New Mexico. That happens EVERY time I shop there.

I found a heaping buggy full of great clothing and spent HOURS trying them on. Unfortunately for me, none of it fit me. However, I was so impressed with the clothing I found that day that I deemed it worthy of a post.

Let’s see what I found, shall we?

 

Does this Worthington coat look familiar? My friend Doris pulled it for me as part of my birthday party at Thrift Town. At $40.00, the price was too steep for me. I eventually did buy this coat. It was during one of Thrift Town’s many 50% off sales. This coat was definitely worth $20.00. I LOVE it and get tons of compliments every time I wear it. Leather pants are totally on trend and I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair. These Moda International ones for $19.99 were not it.

 

How cute is this colorful, polka dot Boden coat?! At $9.99, this coat was a steal! It was just a teeny bit too small. Boo hoo…

 

I seriously love plaid! This Ralph Lauren plaid blazer $12.99 did nothing for my figure. It’s the perfect jacket for mild weather like we have here in Albuquerque.

 

How about this J Crew 100% cashmere sweater? Yeah, only $9.99. Those pants? Bernard Zins Paris. I also found pants made in France that day too!

 

O…MG! This Chico’s Platinum jacket is brand spanking new ($88.00) with a Thrift Town price of $29.99. Guess what I found to go with it…that also didn’t fit.

 

Yeah, a brand new pair of Chico’s Ultimate Fit winter white pants for $15.99. I think I need to go back on my diet. After all, it IS a New Year.

 

Here are the two together.

 

Seriously, where else can you get a BRAND NEW Chico’s jacket and pants for a total of $45.99? Not at Chico’s, that’s for sure!

 

The picture doesn’t do it justice…but this army green BCBG Max Azria coat $49.99 was so beautiful in person.

I also found Escada dress pants, a Barneys New York black skirt and a Victor Costa black velvet strapless dress that day.

So many amazing brands are just waiting to be found at your local Thrift Town…and if you happen to find them on a Monday and you’re age 60+, well…you get 30% off!!!
