Thrift store fashion find 8.29.14

I went to the Foundry for some shopping therapy (thinking that I would only spend my usual $40), but fortunately for my closet/unfortunately for my wallet had a totally different experience than I did at Lovelady a couple weeks before (where I barely found $40 worth of merchandise).

I knew that I didn't want to buy any pants, skirts or shirts - but wanted Fall transition items such as shoes, belts, sweaters, jackets and hopefully a coat. I went to the shoe department and they had alot of shoes - so much so that there were two tables filled with boots. I wasn't interested in boots, but I instantly found four pairs of shoes.

As I walked around the store, it became hard for me to browse the racks and hold four pairs of shoes in my hands - so I did the unthinkable - I had to get a shopping cart! Baaaad idea...I did get the smallest cart I could find and the more I walked around (avoiding pants and shirts) - the more trouble I got into. Normally, I could filter out pieces that I liked but could live without or I wasn't too happy with the fit, or find a defect - but not this time. Unfortunately, 99% of my purchased items did not match the ticket color discounts of the day (Orange ticket-25%, Yellow ticket-50%, White ticket-80%), but when I was checking out, the manager was standing there and I mentioned that I blog about my Foundry purchase items. He was so impressed, that he gave me a 10% discount from my entire purchase, so let's say I was very happy walking out with 7 bags of clothing.
