I’m so H.O.T. it’s not even funny.

It’s true!

I’m totally HOT.

And no, I’m not talking about my looks. Because A) I’d like to think I’m a little bit more humble than that and 2) I’m just not.

I’m talking about H.O.T. AKA: High on Thrifting!

Now, I’m not even sure if this technically counts as thrifting…I’m not up on the official rules and such. But, considering I get completely overwhelmed in Old Navy’s clearance section, I’m gonna go with this.

Baby steps, people…baby steps.

A couple of weeks ago it was super warm out for this time of year and it made me realize that with a baby due at the end of July, homegirl’s gonna need some shorts come summer time. Not to mention I also realized that I had absolutely no Summer clothes for Rylee and ended up making her a pair of cut off jean shorts with a too-short pair of jeans.

And being that I’m cheap and all, I put out a call for help on facebook asking if anyone knew of any local places I could buy second hand maternity clothes.

{This is one of the many reasons I love social media}

I was told about this sale that would be happening soon…a big consignment sale that happens twice a year with all sorts of baby/kid related things…clothes! high chairs! toys! blankets! movies and books! you name it, they likely had it! And yea, even maternity clothes!

I quickly shot a text message to my girl Lindsey to see if she’d like to join me on this adventure, because I know she loves to thrift. We set a date for Saturday…half price day! And she was bringing the Starbucks!

Ok, moral of my story…I seriously scored!

Rylee’s now set for summer clothes…capris, 3 pair of shorts and a couple of tank tops. And I also found some 5T stuff for the fall. That little blazer!? I mean COME.ON. How could I pass that up? Especially considering it was only $2.50!

That little polka-dot top on the bottom left? I snagged that for baby sister. She’s way more than set for clothes, but I just couldn’t resist.

And this isn’t even all of it! I found a pair of maternity capri-slacks and a pair of shorts for me. I also found a Wiggles DVD that we’ll give to Ry for her birthday.

All in all, I got I think 15 pieces for $29!!

I’m hooked, y’all.

Watch out…next I may try the whole mouth breathing technique and brave a Good Will!

    I went on Thursday morning and scored some great stuff, too! I loved that sale and can't wait for the one in the fall (when I might actually need some baby clothes – we're pretty set for newborn/summer stuff). I LOVE thrifting – Goodwill, Value Village, St. Vincent's, you name it – I love it. :) I'm glad you found some maternity stuff, too! (I scored a maternity shirt for $1 and a pair of Gap maternity jeans for $4! Couldn't believe it!)
