as a preschool teacher, my shopping budget is

rather meager these days.

however, my love for shopping and styling outfits

to share with you remains strong!

how do i justify my shopping, while strategically sticking to a budget?

thrifting, of course!

i have shared my love for thrifting frequently on this little blog.

thrifting is a great way to find unique pieces -

pieces to treasure for your closet or home.

seattle goodwill is my favorite thrifting destination! 

i pass by the south lake union location on my drive home,

and am slightly embarrassed to admit how often i stop in (at least once a week?!).

goodwill strives to better their community,

provide opportunities and job training to those in need, and 

'help people reach their full potential through learning 

and the power of work.'

i am thrilled to collaborate with and support seattle goodwill on this blog!

i recently had the pleasure of meeting ms. katherine,

communications manager of seattle goodwill.

we share a love for thrifting, styling new and previously owned pieces,

and enjoying delicious lemonade on a summer day.

katherine was kind enough to provide me with a gift card to goodwill

in order to create a few 'summer looks' to share on this little blog.

i had a blast scouring the racks and selecting a few items

to post here. thank you again, katherine!

be sure to check out my second look, coming soon!
