My husband just had a birthday…and every year on his birthday he buys ME a present. I know! How can one girl be so lucky! This year, I decided to take it easy on him and shop for my gift at Thrift Town.

Of course, we headed there on a Monday, to partake of their 30% off clothing for those ages 60+. After all, my husband just turned 64 and since I’m only 53, I can’t get the discount without him. 😉

Check out what I found:

This dress was the perfect find to wear out to dinner and a show with my hubby! It has a very Marilyn Monroe feel to it.

 

Check THIS out!

It’s hard to see, but this is a BRAND SPANKING NEW Evan Picone dress with the $49.00 Macy’s tag still on it! You can also see that the Thrift Town price is $19.99…but remember, I got it for 30% less which brings it down to $14.99…but THEN, I had a $5.00 off coupon!! My total price out the door WITH tax was $9.62!

 

Now, my first instinct was to pair this with some black espadrilles, but I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and add a pop of color.

I popped it with this pair of shoes…

 

 

These East 5th burgundy suede and patent sling backs are like new! See for yourself…

 

 

I know, right! And I only paid $7.99 for them.

 

I was so proud of myself for not going with a black shoe…and then my husband tells me that he wasn’t a fan of the shoes I chose. 🙁 Hmm…

 

I scored a bracelet in the exact same color for only $1.99.

 

 

I paired it with one of my fave necklaces $7.99 from Thrift Town.

 

Here is how it all came together for my night out with my hubby for his birthday.

 

 

Check out the back too!

 

Here’s another one of the front again.

 

I love that my husband was able to buy me a gift for his birthday and spend under $30.00. Thank you Thrift Town…and my husband thanks you too! 😉
