Last Wednesday I made my final thrifting trip of 2010. It was only natural that I hit up the Salvation Army, as they have 50 percent off on Wednesday. I was looking for a dress or two and only wanted to spend $20...I ended up spending $46! Though I spent way more than intended, I found some awesome items I can’t wait to wear.

{i. love. this. dress. i don’t know who made it, as there’s no label but the ruffles are just my style. $7.50}

{i knew it was going to be a good thrifting experience when the first item i laid my eyes on was this pair of Sam Edelman pumps. $7.99}

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.

{i can't wait to layer this over a pair of leggings and boots. $3.50}

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