Thrift Store Challenge | Part One
Three friends, one thrift store, six outfits. Our original plan was to spend Saturday afternoon at our favorite Canton Salvation Army on a quest for one outfit each, but lucky us, we found two each! It might seem like a crazy challenge, but with a little patience, creativity, and help from friends, it’s totally doable. I promise. Finding shoes was a little tricky for us girls, so we just stuck with the kicks already on our toes. But other than that, the day was a total success! Here are our first looks of the day.
M Y L O O K : $ 8 . 9 8
scarf: $.99 | polka dot knit top: $2.99 | gingham pleated skirt: $2.99
K Y L E ‘ S L O O K : $ 1 5 . 9 6
flannel jacket: $3.99 | shirt: $.99 | jeans: $4.99 | fleece lined shoes: $5.99
A L L I E ‘ S L O O K : $ 6 . 9 8
jumper: $3.99 | shirt: $2.99
Just wait until you see what else we found!

This looks like so much fun! I am now inspired to finally seek out our local Salvation Army Store. I just moved across the country and haven’t had the time to find our local store.
I really like the blouse and jumper that Allie found. Also, I agree with Jeanette 100%. I would totally watch a show like this! I can’t wait to see what else you found!
wow! love them all and so cheap.
YES!! So great! This post is so fun. You guys kicked butt at this challenge.

I love this idea! I need to take a friend to my local Goodwill and do this. It looks like so much fun! I love the shirt you found.
ALL so good! love allie’s!
This is such a great challenge. You all found such lovely things. Your friend Allie’s jumper is too cute. I love the color. Can’t wait to see more.
XOXO
How darling! I want to do this with a few of my girlfriends sometime. :) I am especially impressed by the way Allie’s outfit worked out with her tights and shoes. Looooove it.
this is a fun post!
I buy almost all my clothes at my local Salvation Army store. On most Saturdays, they run a a $10.99 bag sale. You would be surprised at how many things can fit into a brown shopping bag. Once I bought around $200 of clothes for $10.99!
Can’t wait to see the other looks!

super awesome!! Makes me want to run straight to the thrift store.
loveeee this.
Oh wow I love this ! I miss charity shopping (as we call it in the UK) – here in France where I’m living, they just don’t seem to have any at all! Looks like a day well spent. :) x
Whoa! Your Salvation Army stores look amazing! Our charity shops in the UK are somewhat smaller.
Nice outfit finds

What an awesome idea! Love the outfits!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Allie’s look! I feel so inspired to go thrifting now.
That is a great idea for a post! I love how creative you guys are. The jumper and polka dot shirt are the cutest! xo, rv

Looks like so much fun!!!! I am obsessed with thrifting?
What??? Thrift stores here aren’t nearly that cheap? Great finds!
Awesome! I love all three, but I really love Allie’s look–I have a major soft spot for jewel tones (it looks like a deep burgundy?), and the stripes really add a lot of interest to complete the outfit :)

Wow! Darling little outfits, all three. I especially love Allie’s look, that blouse is to die for! :)
So when are we gonna start filming? heheheh ;)
Such a great idea! I might just have to give it a try! If I do, i’ll link back here :)
Xo Chloe.
Great idea! Me? I need a thrift store personal shopper when it comes to clothes.
Found your blog through (Kyle’s) Facebook.
Great idea and fun post, going to check out the blog archives now! :)
Wow, that was great, I can’t wait for the second part! I especially like Kyle’s outfit, I guess in a regular store you would have at least spend $100 on it!
@Kyle !! Can I help behind the scenes with lighting…you know how awesome I am with that. heheh :)
awww, mandi, what a cute idea! i love this… and your outfits are really great, too! i wish we had better thrift stores here in germany. can’t wait to see your second outfits! (:
I loooove Ali’s look!
I love all of the looks, but I must say I love Kyle’s jacket! What a find!
what a great + fun new feature. i love seeing creative thrifting choices come together!
I love Allie’s outfit x10 :) It would look extra cute with a scarf-style ascot bow at the collar or something dangling… fun post! you guys look great :)

Such a fun idea! And all three of you ended up looking great!
i love the corduroy jumper on allie.
your local salvation army seems massive compared to the ones in nyc area. totes jealous.
Aw! What fun! I should try this with my thrifting friend next time I visit her!
I love your outfits, especially Allie’s! That jumper is perfect! <3
Either your addition skills are off, or you got robbed! I do not see how YOUR outifts costs as much as they did, with the prices listed below the photos!
Well, let’s see… I’m willing to bet that I didn’t get robbed. So that leaves my editing skills. I also bought those shoes at that Salvation Army, but apparently didn’t include them on the list. But thank you so much for pointing that out!
How grand, Mandi! Shoes, too, for that price?! Quite the shopper, eh?!
