I'm really enjoying my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge {a full year where I don't purchase any new clothing} but one draw back is I never know what the inventory at a thrift store is going to be like. I've been on the hunt for chunky sweaters for the past month but always left empty handed...until last Wednesday. I hit up my favorite Salvation Army in NYC {46th St. between 10th and 11th} and walked away with a few sweaters that are perfect for the colder weather. Wednesdays are Family Day where all clothing and shoes are 50 percent off.

{this DKNY men's sweater would go great with a pair of skinny jeans. $3}

I let you guys in on my first Salvation Army trip where I racked up on quite a few items. I was amazed at all the great finds, and Wednesdays are Family Day where clothing and shoes are 50 percent off {yay}, so I had to make another quick visit. With the temps cooling down, I'm on the hunt for lightweight jackets and bold patterns to add to my existing wardrobe. Here's what I scored:
