#ThriftyThursday: My roots


#ThriftyThursday: Ruffles express my inner southern belle. We each have a particular garment or accessory that connects us to our roots – cowboy boots, tie-dye, an SEC shirt, or a baseball cap. My J. Crew ruffles tell a story of a southern gal beginning a new adventure.

As I was dressing for a day of exploring St. Augustine, Florida with friends, I matched a recent Goodwill purchase with a patterned skort. While feeling comfortable, I also held my head a little higher. A true southern belle feels fabulous in her own skin – or her Goodwill purchase, in my case.

I value a quality find. The top pictured to the right was found at the Hurstbourne Lane location and will find its way on many other adventures.

Whether you identify with ruffles and pearls or not, confidence and a #ThriftyThursday find look great on everyone.

Best,

A

what we do

Goodwill collects and sells donated items to fund programs for Kentuckians who have disabilities or other challenges in finding and maintaining traditional employment.
