I've always been jealous of my sister Emily who gets great clothes at garage sales. 7 Jeans, True Religion all for pennies.
I went to the mall last night because I had a Banana gift card and they have a 30% of sale for everything in the store (sale goes through today for also Gap and Old Navy). I was excited to get a shirt which cost about $30.
Last night I was looking for garage sales and I even looked in Farmington, thinking that there are younger people there and I would have better luck getting clothes. I got out the door this morning to look at an estate sale in the older part of Bountiful. I was expecting vintage knick knacks. I got there and there were clothes ... clothes .. CLOTHES!! They were all my size. She had my same coloring. We have the same style! It's like I had a personal shopper, but she wore the clothes first and then gave them to me for pennies.
This is what I spent $25:
BCBG lounge suit
Juicy lounge suit
Two sweaters from Anthropology
7 Jeans (they are skinny jeans, I need to figure out that look)
some baby-doll tees
some printed tees
scarf
3 or 4 more blouses
white peddle pusher shorts
bracelet, scarf
and a few more items, I can't remember.
Now I'm rethinking that Banana shirt ... hmmm...
My sister was joking that these clothes are probably 2 to 3 years behind fashion (let's face it we live and Utah and I bought the clothes at a garage sale). But for me, most of my clothes are circa 2002, 2003. So, a pile of clothes from 2007, or 2008 is GREAT!!
I'll have to write a post about it at our new mom style blog. It's a blog where we have multiple contributors and talk and laugh about our "Mom Style." The Mom Look. Check it out!

I'm so excited for Garage Sales, I've never been a big timer though.. Next post should be Garage Sales for Dummies!!
Wow!! Great sale to start off the season. The clothes are really cute. I went to one sale today where a guy that supplies T-shirts and sweatshirts to wallmart was selling all his brand new surplus. I bought 4 sweatshirts and 2 tshirts. Love a bargain!!!
That is great! I'm so jealous... designer clothes at an estate sale? Was it an old lady? or what?
