thrifty thursday: denim jacket

thrifty thursday denim jacket

I’ve been looking for a denim jacket for a long time. I wanted it to be dark denim, slightly tapered at the waist and long enough to reach my hips. Yeah, pretty specific. I tried on too many to count. Then one day at a garage sale with mostly kids’ clothes, I spied this on a rack for adults. It was a little big, but met all of my requirements. And it only cost $5. After Korinne assured me that it looked cute with the sleeves rolled up a bit, I was sold.

I brought it home and ran it through the washer and dryer. You know what? I really think this was practically new. It shrunk just a little bit and now I don’t have to shorten the sleeves. I’m not a huge fan of the faded spots, but they are a lot less obvious when I’m wearing it. I even kind of like the applique.

thrifting: If the three most important words in real estate are location, location and location, then the three most important words in thrifting are patience, patience, and patience.

  1. Julie, you are so right about patience, patience, patience! I have been checking my local shops for red yard — like christmas red yarn, just a worsted weight acrylic — I don’t need much, but red seems to be in extremely short supply, I guess I will just have to keep checking back…

  2. That was an awesome sale, I wish I’d had more of a budget to work with. I got the most fabulous pair of jeans, sadly they are a bit small (maybe they’ll fit in a few months).
