Devoted to my love of Goodwill shopping, finding bargains and my (questionable) taste.

Naked Mermaid

Did Ariel donate this to Goodwill?


And lest you think it's a costume - the tag revealed it to be an actual dress.

Happy Shoesday





Cute little bow black flats that will go with many things. They are Naturalizer and the rare combo of cute and comfy.

Happy Shoesday!

OK, I'm a day late but I'm not a dollar short because I bought all these shoes at Goodwill.

Hit it ladies!

These Jessica Simpson's -


Here's how they looked -


More red shoes! You can't have too many pairs of red shoes!


(p.s. that "Vintage" 1970's turquoise Western dress is from Goodwill too. I pretend like I'm one of J.R. Ewing's secretaries when I wear it. Fun and fashion!)

These black and white wedgies -


One more. A fancy pair!


(No professional photography skills were involved in the taking of these pictures.)

Happy Shoesday!

Happy Sabbath

Today I am thanking the Goddesses of Goodwill for all that is good and holy.

Like this.




A simple, black 1960's dress I wore to my brothers wedding. Made during a time when women's clothes celebrated curves - it has a waist and a glorious, twirly full skirt. And the best part? It was made to cover a woman's knees. Nobody needs to see those things. I wear this and feel like a gen-u-ine lady.

Snagged for $2.50. Anywhere else, it would get called "vintage" and would have come with an inflated price tag. But I'm not pretentious and the taggers at Goodwill had no idea how wonderful this piece was. Thanks Goddesses!

I hated to cover up the adorable cap sleeves, but the wedding was in November and in a floral conservatory. I picked up several different colored cardi's at the Old Navy and decided I liked yellow the best. Also while shopping around for a necklace I discovered pieces at Forever 21 and Anthropologie were looking similar, except for the price tags. I got several necklaces at Forever 21 for less than what one piece would have run at Anthro.

And after the wedding? When you pay $2.50 for something you can wear it anywhere. Believe me the husband appreciates the lady dress over frumpy dumpy schlumpy clothes. Shop at Goodwill and your everyday clothes can make you look like every day is a special occasion.

Which probably explains how I end up celebrating with so many cupcakes.

Where Muppets go to die

Soon to be spotted on a Working Girl, or Drag Queen. Should be styled with booty shorts.


I might have been tempted to buy it, because of my love for the tacky and bright, but there are some things you just can't Febreeze enough.
