Cross-post: Goodwill: The Benefits

I am cross-posting my post that I wrote for threequarterchic a couple days ago. It explains why I love, love, love Goodwill and how I find it to be a (very) good place to shop at. So, enjoy! And remember to go and visit threequarterchic, because her blog is amazing!

I am sure all of us fashionistas have visited a Goodwill or a Salvation Army before and have found some pretty amazing finds. I, for one, have found so many vintage things, that I can’t even count! Goodwill can be a source of information to all you bloggers, considering they have everything from every time period there. If you LOVE vintage, too, they have some really wicked and cool clothes there, for really cheap.

Why do I love Goodwill?

Their bargains: At my Goodwill, they have a bargain on a particular color each week. So, sometimes it might be 50% off pink, or 50% off purple – you get the idea. It is really good for putting together outfits that I need with that color. For example, if I need a pink shirt, I would get it for a lower price than I wanted to pay. And since it is Goodwill, they always have some sort of sale going on, so that’s always good.

What they have: I think it really depends on when you go, because sometimes they have good clothes, and sometimes, not so much. But the majority of the time, they have some really cute and vintage things that are worth buying. Actually, there are some pretty cool and eclectic vintage finds, such as eclectic sweaters, shirts, and colorful pants.

You can make it affordable: Most items you buy from there are going to be under $50, and that is why I mostly love Goodwill. You can make a full outfit, complete with accessories and shoes, and it will be cheap and chic! No matter what budget you’re on, you’re always going to find an affordable way to “Make it work!”
