A Kenneth Cole faux leather jacket in shiny new condition for Sage. 5 bucks (originally $9.99). Even he admitted it was pretty cool, and he's pretty picky when it comes to his clothes. He also got a Shawn White flannel and Mossimo cords for $5. Pants, a shirt and a jacket for $10 - not bad considering they would have gone for about $100 retail.
McKenna got this shirt and embroidered jeans:
for $2.50, and a striped shirt, black velvet Levi's, and these rain boots, which I wish could fit me:
The kids
also got to pick out one toy each, the getting of which was dependent upon
their behavior in the store (yes, I bribe them). Sage got a Nerf Super
Soaker ($4) and McKenna got a Playdough tiki pirate ship playset ($3). Toys
weren't on sale but it was a small price to pay for being allowed to shop in relative peace.
McKenna also got these CDs:
because she listens to music every night and I was getting tired of the same old songs. We listened to most of them when we got home and they're great. ($2 each, not on sale) She also asked for this book:
Which freaked me out a bit because I had this book as a kid and loved it. It's a scratch-and-sniffer and though it's lost all it's sniff-ness, for 69 cents I had to get it.
It was slim pickins for kokoleo finds, but I did get this Shakespeare linen:
for 99 cents. I'm envisioning a pillow or tote in the near future, the perfect gift for some Shakespeare nerd. (As a former English major, I know they're out there.)
I also got Erik a pair of Steve Madden shoes for $2.50 but he told me if I post a pic of them on my blog he won't wear them because he doesn't want people commenting on his blogged-about thrift store shoes. But he liked them.
Finally for myself, I found some new-with-tags running pants for $5 and this frilly top and flower pin:
for $5 total. And I, unlike Erik, don't mind if you comment on my thrift store finds.
