Thrifty Thursday for May

Hi there!  So it's been a minute.  My new job started picking up the last few months so it's been a lot of travel, a lot of work, all worth it.  (It's difficult but amazing.). At some point I'm hoping to work some thrift shopping into my trips all over the east coast (I was SO tempted to stop at a few in Tennessee while I was in one area for a lunch and gas break.)  I but for now it'll be during my off time at home.  

Love joggers.  Especially when the fabric is super soft and can be worn as pajama pants.  These are a little busy to wear outside the house, so these will make for some super comfy pajama pants.

Under Armour Downtown Joggers:  Originally $70, paid $10

The pattern was the first thing that caught my eye when I saw this on the rack. (See what I  did there?)  I did a little more research and found out the eyes are basically Hattie Stewart's signature.  I like them because they remind me of old Disney cartoons (like back when their shorts were in black and white) and the more recent Cuphead video game and cartoon series on Netflix.  Added bonus: The jacket is only about 3 years old so pretty recent!

Adidas x Hattie Stewart Jacket:  Originally $75, paid $15

Early on in the pandemic, a friend introduced me to Harvey's because they were selling cute masks in 3 packs and are known for their seatbelt bags (and anything Disney sells out pretty much immediately.)  So I came across this and knew it was special.  It felt super comfy but the thing was, it didn't have a price tag and the thrift store I frequent won't sell something if it doesn't have one.  I walked all over that store and begged at least half a dozen employees to please price it because I would buy it immediately.  It felt very ironic that it took a lot of effort on my part to make a price tag happen.

Harvey's Make It Happen Sweatshirt:  Originally $48, paid $4

So I can still say that I haven't bought any Lululemon in an actual Lululemon store. (But I've gotten REALLY close.) Everything I've found while thrifting has been in great shape (and if it isn't I don't buy it but that's pretty rare.) I've been tempted with buying a brand new pair of these pants (or through their like new trade in option where they resell products that people trade in) but I keep finding them while thrifting!

Lululemon Dance Studio Pants:  Originally $118, paid $7

Prana is one of my favorite clothing brands.  Most of their pants are super comfy and repel water and come in different inseams so they'll look good right off the rack.  Their tops don't necessarily repel water, but they are also SO comfy.  I  know it's a little late in the season for hoodies, but this one is light enough that I can still get some wear before the summer heat kicks in.

Prana Sunrise Hoodie:  Originally $89, paid $7

So, any good thrifting finds?  Or races coming up? I have a virtual 5k coming up this Sunday benefitting the charity &Mother and with the forecast calling for it to be day 3 of rain...I'm definitely doing it on the treadmill.

Thrifty Thursday for January

 Happy New Year!  (I can still say that almost 3 weeks in, right?  It's my first post of the year so I'm going with it.) Since Covid is still a thing and making me a little anxious about thrifting (or really going anywhere), this might be my last post for a minute.  Here's hoping I can go out again soon!  I miss it.

I'm not usually one for short shorts, but these make for great swim bottoms!  Especially since I'm planning on using my paddle board more this year they'll be perfect.

Oiselle Mac Roga Shorts:  Originally $56, paid $6

I don't have a lot of makeup, but these bags are great for organizing a big purse.  And of course the flamingo pattern doesn't hurt either.

Dabney Lee Makeup Bag:  Originally $26, paid $3

Did you know HydroFlasks are actually counterfeited?  One of the ways you can tell by looking at the bottom.

So in order to authenticate this one, I pulled out my phone and did a search for the model number (in the upper right between the "made in China" and "Hydroflask.com") and immediately the mug popped up on REI's website.  Since they are an authorized seller, I took that as a good sign of it being real.  Then once I got home, I found this Facebook post from Hydro Flask basically confirming that it was real.

16oz Hydro Flask Coffee Mug:  Originally $32.95, paid $2

I  feel like every post I say I'm a sucker for jogger pants.  Still true.  The zippered pockets on these felt like an added bonus to secure whatever I need to keep in my pockets.

Athleta Aspire Ankle Pants:  Originally $79, paid $4

Joggers with a top that can fold over like yoga pants?  Yes, please!  The fabric on these is a little thin, but the fold over top is always so comfortable that I had to get them.  Might be a minute before I can wear them though since it's just too cold.

Under Armour Sleek Harem Pants:  Originally $90, paid $15

So any good thrifting finds?  Any leads on good races coming up?  My spring race calendar is surprisingly empty so I'm definitely on the lookout to set some new running goals.
