I don’t typically take time to go out and shop. Having three kids has really limited my “free time”. But recently, my husband offered to take all three kids to a park while I had a solid hour completely to myself to wander around my favorite consignment store, Crossroads.
Within 40 minutes I was heading out the door, and I felt awesome about my finds! Four new-to-me items, and three of them still with tags on for $87.
Now, it is absolutely possible to find amazing deals at thrift stores for far less than what I did. However, the issue with that for the season of life I am in at this particular moment is the time that is needed to sift and weed through racks of clothing.
Going to a reputable consignment store that takes in-season clothing which

Thrifted Summer Clothing Finds
This emerald green shirt is from Lulus. I loved the idea of the off the shoulder design when I held it up in the store, and I loved the longer length of the shirt as I have a long torso. However, when I got home it was the only piece of clothing that I purchased that I wasn’t 100% sure I was going to keep. I ultimately decided to keep it, and I’m so glad I did because I really love it.
Lulus: still had a tag on it. Marked down to $15
Do you remember how celebrity gossip magazines used to have a recurring article that would try to convince us that celebrities were “just like us” by showing a celebrity wearing a piece of clothing more than one time?
Well, if I were a celebrity, the magazines would absolutely be printing me wearing this pink dress over and over again. I freaking love it.
I love the color, I love the pockets, and I love that I can unbutton it easily to nurse my babe.
The other day I was in the park with my kids and a man walks by and says, “I love your dress. Pink matches who you are.” Okay…best compliment ever from the man who has never seen me

Furniture Finds!
I have been looking for a chair like this for some time now. I think it’s beautiful, and I wanted a wooden rolling chair that would swivel. I saw this at a recent yard sale for $20. She was only selling it for $20 because the wicker on one of the armrests had unraveled. I told my hubby he totally could fix that, and that he sure did. $20, a little bit of time on his part, and it’s practically brand new. Can you tell which armrest it was?
Pottery Barn wooden and wicker office chair $20
At that same yard sale, this sweet little chair was calling to me, and then Nick plunked Dane down in it and there was no longer a possibility I was leaving without it. $10
Fisher Price wooden highchair- $10
