Best Thrift Store Finds EVER

Today I had to take a client to the airport so I had some time to kill before picking up Sophia. I hit the Goodwill in Ballard which is usually a great place. It paid off. Not only did I pick up a few pairs of cute jeans and shirts for Sophia, but I scored three purses. And not just any purses. Designer purses.

Behold!

A motherfucking Burberry, y'all!



How much did this cost me? $40? No. $20? Not a chance. Okay, okay. $10? Not even! $3.99. That's right. Four bucks for a Burberry! And it looks like it's authentic, too. Not like that jacked up stupid ass fake Kate Spade I bought once.


I thought about putting the Burberry last but I'm too excited about it!

Next up is a sweet purse from Kenneth Cole Reaction that will look much better once my crap goes inside of it to fill it out. This one was also $3.99!!




Finally, I got this cute purse by Guess for $3.00 (half off $5.99). First of all, the Burberry and Kenneth Cole purses had regular prices of $3.99 which blows my mind that a purse by Guess would cost more had it not been a blue tag day. I mean, WTF? I'm thanking my lucky stars, though. Anyway, here's the last one:




I initially got a tip from my friend, Tobie, who found a designer purse there as well. I can't remember what brand she found but she told me to look in this store particularly. Since then, I always examine the purses there carefully.

When I next sport these cute purses you know I'm going to be chuckling to myself because instead of spending hundreds of dollars for them, I got them on the cheap!

NICE! Guess it's time to go inside the Ballard Goodwill, instead of just pulling up and dropping stuff off.

If you ever see a pink Coach bag, snatch it for me. I've been
wanting one for YEARS.

If you can determine they are real - you should sell them on Ebay - and make money on them.

I'm confident of the Guess and Kenneth Cole. The Burberry? Not so much after some internet research. But I bought it knowing it might be a fake and figured $3.99 was a gamble I was willing to take. Even if it's fake I totally want to use it!

I am so "out of fashion," I've never even heard of a Burberry. When I first read your post, I read "blueberry."

I got my purse at The Disney Store, but have actually gotten more compliments on it than any other purse I've ever had. I can't find it online, so I'll have to take a picture of it and show you later, if you're interested.

Pretty purses, though. :)
