thrifty success



Nate and I have been looking for a dining room table since we moved here. We have a teeny little spot to put one in our kitchen... so we need to find a small two person table. So Friday, while Nate was helping a friend roof his house, I set out to find one.

Getting there was a task in itself... this city driving is soooo different! I never have any idea where I am going. haha. Luckily, I have a husband who is seriously a GENIUS when it comes to maps, streets, directions! So, good thing we ended up together! I went to a couple thrift stores and unfortunately had no luck finding what I set out to find... However, I found some other goodies. One of my more successful thrifting days!
I am not usually one to post outfit photos. One, because I feel silly doing it and two, I am no fashion expert. BUT, I am so proud of my finds... I thought I would share!


1. Gap jean jacket that fits me PERFECTLY $4
2. Awesome skirt that I wish you could see better. It is a ton of different colors all woven together! And its stretchy and super comfy! $3

3. This awesome fishy dress $4 (in case you were wondering, that is why I am awkwardly holding up the number 4)

4. The find I am most proud of. I was wandering around looking for belts and I stumbled upon the men's shoe section and found these beauties with Nate's name written all over them! Black Chaco sandals that fit him PERFECTLY! They look brand new and retail at $95 and I got them for a sweeeeet $6.99

I LOOOOOVE finding good deals! Hopefully next we will find a kitchen table : ) In other news.... Nate got the job I mentioned in my last post! AND, I went in for an interview on Friday morning and they offered me the job right there on the spot! So, Nate will be working as a cabinet builder and I was offered a job at a middle school in a reading intervention classroom. God is so faithful!! Welp, I am off to be productive. Nate started his new job today and I don't start mine until the end of August... soooo I will have lots of free time on my hands over the next few weeks.

Have a GOOD week!
