HAUL: $75 at Village Thrift

Due to its proximity to my house, Village Thrift has quickly become one of my favorite thrift stores. In the past several months since my first visit to the store, I've tried to check in once every other week or so on half-price Sunday or Monday. Last night, I scooped up one of my smaller Village Thrift hauls, but nabbed the priciest single thrift store clothing item I've ever purchased.

The Details

I had some specific items in mind during my shopping trip this week: a new nice coat, since my current black one collects an insane amount of lint, hair, and fuzzies; a long-sleeve purple shirt to go under a dress I bought in Vegas; and, as always, layerable tanks/shirts/sweaters. I was pleased to hit the mark on all three accounts. My 10 items:
