Goodwill recently opened a new store and of course I had to drop in for a visit. The Greenwich Village location {44 West 8th St} is a curated boutique with a sizable number of vintage and upscale finds.

Upon first entering, I loved how spacious and organized it was. Racks were neatly separated by garments {skirts, tops, dresses, jeans, etc} and color coordinated making for an easy shopping experience. The girly girl in me immediately headed towards the skirts. There were a ton of Target pieces priced at $7.99 or $12.99. I fell in love with {and purchased} this tulle number. The blush color is perfect for spring. It's a little large at the waist but a belt can easily change that. *sorry for the grainy dressing room pic*

Earlier this week I gave you guys a quick recap of the first Adventures in Thrifting where I met up with a few readers to go thrift shopping. The theme was The Big Three and we went to Goodwill, Housing Works and Salvation Army on East 23rd Street in New York City. I already showed you what I found, so now it's time to see what my amazing readers scored. Peep the quick video below where the ladies show off their goods, including on trend pieces like a coral...

This weekend was the inaugural Adventures in Thrifting and we had a blast. I met up with four readers for a day of thrift shopping. We hit up the "Big Three" on East 23rd Street: Goodwill, Housing Works and Salvation Army. Here's a peek at what I found.

We started at Goodwill where everything with a green tag was 50 percent off. I found a ton of goodies in less than 30 minutes. These Nicole Miller peep toes had me at hello. Believe it or not I don't have any red pumps, so I was hardcore crushing on these. They were only $12...but they were too big!

If there's one item of clothing I wanted for spring, it was a jumpsuit. I envisioned myself rocking the one piece with a simple high heel sandal and floppy hat while enjoying an al fresco brunch. Yes, I clearly have a vivid imagination that revolves around my wardrobe.

I hit up the recently renovated Goodwill on 23rd St. and just as I was heading out, I noticed a white garment grazing the floor. I wasn't sure what it was but once I took it off the rack, I realized it was a jumpsuit. Score for me! But then I thought there was no way my 5'2 frame would look good in this. However, I tried it on anyway and fell in love.
