Thrifty Thursday for October

 I  know this is a little late this month.  Truthfully, my backlog of finds to post has been quickly dwindling since I've been having a hard time finding anything worth purchasing (or even just to show off here.)  But here are some things I've found this month!

The old version of the Brooks Dash Half Zip is one of my favorite pieces.  It's lightweight but a kind of silky soft that the newer versions just doesn't have.  I had this exact half zip with a company logo embroidered on it, and once I no longer worked there it just felt strange to keep wearing it.  So when I  found this "blank" version in my size, I  had to jump on it!
Brooks Dash Half Zip:  Originally $70, paid $7

This one is a little different with the asymmetrical look, but super soft and kind of has an almost 80s off the shoulder look without actually being off the shoulder.
Athleta Threadlight Relaxed Tee:  Originally $54, paid $7

Shopping for jeans in a thrift shop is definitely a great way to try a bunch of different brands at one time, but unfortunately if you find the perfect pair it's SUPER hard to find them again.  I've somehow managed to find a couple solid pairs in the last month!
On the left is a pair of Lucky Brand Hayden Skinny Jeans: Originally $39.99 - 109.99, paid $4
On the right is a pair of Levi's 505 Straight Leg Jeans:  Originally $59.50, paid $5.60

Constantly Varied Gear is an interesting company to follow.  They have leggings that have lots of fun prints ranging from mermaid scales to all kinds of animal prints and skull variations.  Their leggings are fairly reasonably priced, squat proof and don't show sweat.  I have a race on Halloween morning this year, and I definitely plan on wearing these!
Constantly Varied Gear Leggings: Originally $50, Paid $2.50

If you grew up in the 90s, you probably know these books.  Each book is a collection of short (like one or two pages) stories that are definitely scary for kids, but some of them have funny endings to keep it from getting too dark.  I'm glad to have found these just in time for Halloween!
Scary Stories Books:  Currently $20.80 on Amazon, Paid $4.50 for the set

So those are my finds for the month!  Did you find anything good (or festive) this month?  Any good races coming up?  I have the Bay Bridge 10k on Halloween and I can't wait!  (Although fair warning: They aren't allowing costumes, hence the skull leggings!)
