Goodwill GOLD (and yes, thrift shopping ROCKS)

Lately I've been tight on money (oh wait, that's pretty much always!), and Goodwill has become my new "shopping mall".  Yah, it takes some time to sift through everything, and it sometimes smells a little funny, and sometimes there are screaming children.  

BUT there's air-conditioning. 

AND you can find some pretty awesome stuff there for really really cheap. 

Case in point - this dress. 

How flippin' cute is that??  
It fits me perfectly (well maybe a teensy snug, but who cares?), and I found it on the rack for $10.  Not too shabby. 

I also found these shoes... 

Steve Madden strappy sandal heels (ridiculously comfortable for heels too, by the way). 
Only $7. 

Yah, that's a pretty successful shopping day if you ask me!
