I never have the same experience twice when I go to the Salvo in Greece. Sometimes I find nothing. Sometimes I buy a new wardrobe. I've arrived only to discover the entire area has a power outage, and once a fire started midway through my shopping and they evacuated us. You really never know. This was my first average experience. I didn't hit the jackpot, but I found several nice things. And no fire alarms went off or anything.
Banana Republic, $3 |
I limited myself to one dress this week, but what a dress. Banana Republic. 100% silk. POCKETS. $3. It really doesn't get better than this!
Ambiance Apparel, $1.50 |
I have only ever purchased Ambiance Apparel clothing at a Salvation Army, and I have loved every single one. The material is always soft, the fit is always flowy without being baggy... I just love them. I can't even figure out what store sells these...I can only find them on Amazon. I guess I'll just have to keep getting them here!
Express, $2 |
My favorite colors, a nice drape-y fit, and little buttoned roll-up sleeves. Love it!
Soft Surroundings, $2 |
I'd never heard of this brand before, either, but upon a quick Google search, it would seem that this went for around $70 originally. For a shirt! Maybe I spend too much time at the Salvo, but that seems crazy to me. Anyway, it is as soft as the name suggests, and I bought it with the thought in mind that this will pair really well with my fleece-lined jeggings when the time comes. *shudder*
Forever 21, $2 |
Something I can wear in cooler temperatures that isn't black, gray, or white. Progress.
Faded Glory, $2 |
There's something wrong with the Salvation Army's pricing system when a Faded Glory shirt is the same price as one that was originally $70. Not complaining, really, because I think the "wrong" part worked in my favor. Anyway, I always need cardigans to go with my summer dresses and this will go with roughly a jillion of them.
White House Black Market, $2.50 |
Another shirt that originally cost closer to $100 than $50... 100% silk, 100% fabulous.
American Eagle Outfitters, $2 |
A comfy knit top, cute from the front...
...and even cuter in the back.
A good experience at Greece! Which almost certainly means that next time I'll get nothing. Or maybe it will get struck by lightning? I'll let you know when I go again!
Hello, Sister! Soft Surroundings is one of my favorite catalogs. I love their nightgowns, and that's where we ordered the tops/dresses that my bridesmaids wore. I only shop their "outlet" page where I can sometimes get great deals, but none of them are as good as the deal you got on your shirt!
