My Goodwill Isn't So Bad After All!

Turns out I've just been looking in all the wrong places at my Goodwill! I've been looking on the shelves. The real goods are hidden in the clothing racks! I bought 35 items last night, for a total of $95. And I got some GREAT stuff!


Some 100% cashmere sweaters
  • Charter Club, NWT (red)
  • Lands End plus size (black)

Several long denim skirts. Apparently someone donated her entire collection of long denim skirts, because there were 8 or 10 of them, all similar styles, same size. All in one chunk on the skirt rack. These are French Cuff (x2), J.Crew, and DKNY. Any that haven't sold by this summer are mine! :)

A bunch of dresses (and a skirt that I missed in my skirt collage)
  • Rue 21, NWT (purple)
  • Worthington, NWT (skirt)
  • Oh Mamma! maternity gown, NWT (black)
  • Maggie London, NWT (gown)
  • Talbots, NWT (plaid)
  • Lois Snyder, NWT (beige)

Some jeans - I don't usually go through the jeans, because there are rarely any NWT ones, but these caught my eye without my even having to sift through them.
  • Apostrophe, NWT
  • B.Moss, NWT

Some Nike stuff (neither is NWT)

I've been avoiding Ralph Lauren, because I didn't know much about it. I still don't, but thought I'd take a chance on these. The women's sweater is gorgeous. The 3 men's shirts are larger sizes (and how about that last hideous one?!)

Shorts are quick and easy to list, and this is the ideal time to be listing them!
  • Just My Size, NWT (dark)
  • B.Moss capris, NWT (turquoise - I know you can't tell, but they've got green seahorses embroidered on them - very spiffy...)
  • American Outfitters, NWT

Skirts are quick and easy to list too!
  • Charlotte Russe, NWT (black/white)
  • Sag Harbor, NWT (red paisley)
  • Sag Harbor wool, NWT (black)
  • Tweeds, NWT (pink)

Several tops:
  • Apt. 9, NWT (purple sheer)
  • Ely Plains ruffled western shirt (black - not new)
  • Maurices cardigan, NWT (white)
  • Worthington, NWT (purple blouse - this was actually from a small local shop the day before yesterday)
  • CJ Banks, NWT (yellow)
  • St. John's Bay, NWT (orange)

And 2 more western shirts, from the small local shop where I got the purple Worthington blouse.

My Goodwill emailed me a coupon for 20% off ALL clothing the last Wednesday of every month. It doesn't expire until December 2012, and there is no wording on the coupon to indicate that it's a one-time-use only coupon. Hooray! That 20% off even applies to the half-off color. Several of the items I found last night were the half-off tag, so I got 70% off those items!!

Otherwise, I've had nothing of interest happen today, eBay-related. I had one sale in the wee hours this morning, but that's it. No offers, no messages, no nothing. I do believe my high sales wave may have crashed today...
