Thrifty Thursday and a word about Jeans.

More great finds as usual and a word about jeans towards the bottom of this post.

Gray Abercrombie and Fitch anorak jacket:  Originally approximately $100, paid $8!

Lucy Endurance Skirt Capri:  Originally $70, paid $6!

One tip that I haven't mentioned yet about thrifting is to buy jeans at thrift stores.  There really is no reason to pay retail for them when you can try on pretty much any brand on the market at a thrift store.  Most thrift stores also have dressing rooms to try on jeans so you can see if they're worn in a strange way or even not at all!  Case in point:

Gap Always Skinny jeans:  Originally $80, paid $6.45.  Seriously?!  Why would anybody pay almost $80 for a pair of jeans when you can just go to a thrift store and buy them at a fraction of the cost? Most thrift stores have at least one or two racks of nothing but jeans (the ones I frequent have more!)  Still don't believe me?  Check these out.

Ann Taylor Loft Jeans:  Originally $79.50, paid $10.   In the past I've bought jeans by Lucky Brand, 7 for all Mankind, and White House Black Market, all for a fraction of the original cost and all in fantastic shape.  I've even lucked out a few times and found several pairs that have been altered to just the right length!

Have you had any great thrifting finds this week?  Anybody racing this weekend?  I'm running the Frederick Half Marathon on Sunday morning!
