Thrift Store Finds and Fashion Tips

Speaker 1

They're giving the goodwill yeah, you know they're not gonna care about us too much, but we could go and make videos I will influence for goodwill yeah I will influence for goodwill I wish I was one of those very fashion, uh, savvy type women that would go into the goodwill and see like a white shirt or something you know I'm saying and then know how to style it and make it look totally different, like the way they tuck it and fold it and this and that I just look at something and I see a white shirt.

Speaker 1

I don't see what it could be right, what I mean, I want to be like that we gonna. We are like that goodwill we were I mean, yeah, I know exactly what to do.

Speaker 2

I'm very fashion forward and very fashionable yeah no, I mean, there's so many things that you could find at the Goodwill and recently we went okay, we just dive right in, okay.

So well, we just picked it over. So so honey hole so well, we just picked it over. So so pretty much y'all go see what y'all like, that we didn't get you know whatever that didn't fit us, because there were so many things that I like.

Speaker 2

I tried on a bunch that just wasn't quite right, yeah, so but when you go to Goodwill you could go with not a lot of money, and that's one thing I thing. I really I'm so excited about this episode that I'm all over Rain it in, rain it in, all right, so you could go like when you know like I don't, I guess, if you don't have a lot of money, you know like.

You just, and my kids don't know the difference. No, If I come home with a giant bag from Goodwill, they are just as excited as if I would have got it from anywhere else. For sure. You know, they recently just realized that it was already worn close.

Speaker 1

Oh, they didn't even realize Goodwill was secondhand stuff.

Speaker 2

Can you imagine that If I would have been in school and I said I got something from the Goodwill, oh my gosh, I'd have?

Speaker 1

never heard the damn end of it. It's not like that anymore. These days I don't feel like. Maybe it is with the young people of this world, but once you get to a certain age, give me all the secondhand anything I don't. A bag of hand-me-down clothes is like a treasure.

Speaker 1

It is a treasure is a chest treasure trove, and that's how half my wardrobe is is hand-me-downs. She'll be like where you got that shirt? I'm like in the bag. In the bag. Somebody gave me a bag of clothes and I love it, we there ain't nothing wrong with that, okay so we went to the goodwill in carancro and we got some nice dresses.

Speaker 2

I got some dresses, yeah, y'all I got some dresses. So cute. Okay, like little black dress, I like black. Okay, I wear black, a lot black dresses. But then I like, I think I got the dress that I'm gonna wear for our limelight palooza in houston conference conference and I'm just like the dress. I got at Goodwill yes and you know, for other trips we got some dresses there what you spent, like 40 bucks or something 40 dollars.

Speaker 2

And you want to know why? Because some of them was like half off of the ticket of the ticket price, and the ticket price was $6.99, so like each each dress I got nice dresses four or five nice dresses. I was pulling them out I hadn't even realized it's been $40. And that's not even it. I got a pair of shoes Sparkly beautiful shoes that goes with the dress yeah. And I was like Y'all know that.

So I'm, I'm gonna I want to get better at that, you know, I want to be able to like take one piece and style it multiple different ways to get different looks out of my clothes in my closet, like probably stuff I already have that I haven't worn. I just needed like a different vision for it to make it fresh again, yeah. And so I've been following these influencers doing this and I'm like I love it, like I'm addicted to it. Now.

Speaker 2

Yeah, I hope it happens for the bash the Palooza bash too. Yeah, the Palooza party. Anyway, we try to go to Goodwill first, Because, man, you know what happens to old clothes. You know some people just throw that away. Or you know, like mm-mm, I know we're going to figure it out, I know we're going to figure it out.

Speaker 1

I know, and why not? You know somebody's, somebody's trash is another person's treasure, treasure, you know. So shop secondhand when you can. That's what I see. But listen, it's not just about clothes for me, no, you love them, housewares.

Speaker 2

I love the housewares.

Speaker 1

The little section. They always have a little. I wish they had more, but they always have a little. I wish they had more, but they always have a little section of housewares I.

Thrift Store Treasures and Favorites

Speaker 2

That's my favorite part to go through. So sometimes I'm just going in Goodwill for the housewares, because when I was in college, like I didn't have no money and so I just had to go and see whatever plates they had that matched yeah, that's what was going in our apartment. So I spent a lot of time at Goodwill. You know and still do is karen, grow your favorite location I like scott too, though. Scott's got a great clothes selection. Their housewares are just okay, you know. But um, but karen crow is where it's at.

Speaker 1

Um, what else we found I got? Did we get some cups? No, I don't think we did like. I was looking for the matching set of these.

Speaker 2

They had some, but they didn't have the saucers, so I ended up waiting on that but, they had a bunch yeah, it was like a whole stack of them she has a whole like warehouse in the back of houseware things cups plates, a little appliances and stuff, and the front part is clothes, clothes we need to go there and look for.

So I need some of those, those shelves, yeah surely I can find, surely, and don't?

Speaker 1

some goodwills have online stores too? I know it's not the same, it's not the same. But what if somebody listening right now knows of that listed online somewhere? Maybe they?

I feel like when I say thrifting, I mean all of it, like antique shop. People use things second time around things okay is when we go and we we see something and we don't really know what it is and we make up a story about what that could be. That is one of my favorite things that we go and do. We have found some strange things.

Speaker 1

We have and sometimes still don't even really know what we leave Like. Well, I still don't know what this is.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

Yeah.

Strange Finds and Antique Mysteries

Speaker 2

Remember that flower vase thing. Like I need to see what that looks like in action.

Speaker 1

I still don't know what that is.

Speaker 2

You know it's a vase, but like, why so many little?

Speaker 1

I thought it was a candle holder.

Speaker 2

It just doesn't still make sense to me, though.

Speaker 1

No, you know so Because they were all like this, the candle would.

Speaker 2

It's not a candle. It's, it's not a candle. The candle would be like all over the table. You know, I yeah, maybe. Maybe, if you have one of those, you will show us what that looks like in action if you don't know what we're talking about, then you missed.

Speaker 1

You missed one of our videos, of our antiquing there was this one vase that it just had.

Speaker 2

It was silver and it had like a lot of little and they said it was a vase, but I said it looked like a hookah, oh hookah and I said it was a vase, but I said it looked like a hookah, oh hookah.

Speaker 1

And I said it was a flower, like you put flowers in it or something. But then they had a hole at the bottom of it, like so the water would run out. So I just don't know what it was. I don't know. No, and remember that foot warmer thing. It was like it was a sorry, it was a crock and you put hot water in it. Yeah, but I thought it was a whiskey decanter.

Speaker 2

Yeah.

Speaker 1

And then you put your little tootsies on it to keep them warm. I liked that little thing.

Speaker 2

Yeah, that was. I had never seen something like that. That was. That was very interesting to me.

Speaker 1

Or the woody pit.

Speaker 2

Okay, y'all go watch that.

Speaker 1

Go watch that. That was at the Roundup in Doosan, Just in case you were wondering If you go on our socials. I think you posted that one. So, if you go on Sarah's Facebook or TikTok or whatever you'll see that one.

Speaker 2

You'll see it. Just go and we're looking around and we're like what is this for?

Speaker 1

And we talk about back and forth.

Speaker 2

What?

Speaker 1

we think it's for, and it's usually not correct, but sometimes it is.

Speaker 2

Sometimes it is remember them, little babies. We found those babies on the wall which is they were so expensive, yeah and like string came out of their mouth. So somebody commented and said that was a like butcher's twine or whatever, like that's just how they kept it and then like but they used it in the olden days like tape, so like there wasn't tape, so like they would just like tie up, tie up stuff but why it came out of her mouth like it just was off-putting.
