Sometimes two thrift enthusiasts, busy working moms battling colds and fatigue, decide to throw reason to the wind (the winter wind) and go for a short thrifting session to boost their spirits…
And so it came to pass that Adina and I headed out for the third Tuesday Night Thrift at the west-end Goodwill in Edmonton. This particular Goodwill is known for having a good selection of footwear and I have indeed found GREAT shoes there in the past! Naturally, that’s where we headed first…
Actually, Adina was on a mission for designer denim and found several pairs to try for her and me!
I had a few other no’s in the fitting room…
And I spotted a couple neat things as I was browsing…
The night was looking like a bust until I tried on this…
It was $30 but in great condition – only some minor wear on the lining – and regular retail price would likely be around the $800 mark so I call that a score and the evening a success! Next Tuesday Night Thrift, we promise to give more notice!! We love connecting with our Edmonton thrift community!
No shame in my game! For real though, I have always strived to show real life style – a real sized woman with a real sized budget and real sized time limitations. I want people to know that secondhand shopping is a viable option for pretty much everyone!! Thanks so much for reading and commenting!

I love these posts so much! Beautiful jacket!
Thank you!! Thanks for reading! ❤
I hope you will make a road trip to Calgary. Would love to show you my fave spots; sure you would find some treasures!
Actually me and my thrifting buddies have been talking about a weekend thrifting road trip so I might just take you up on it!! (After hockey season!)
That jacket is such a great find, fits you well! I’m sure you’ll find that colour is just as versatile as black too.
Thanks so much!! Yes I think it will be the perfect addition to my coat collection (but I’m still going to look for a black moto style)!!!
