What's in the Bag Wednesday

I'm going to come back to the jars when I'm done showing you my super-special-scored-stash of quarter clothes. Deal?

I got all these for...........$3.75!

Turquoise suede jacked in perfect shape...lined, too!
A nice ballet-inspired sweater from Charlotte Russe

Lined silk (SILK!) dress in girls' size 5 in shades of strawberry, cranberry, and mulberry (Violet can probably wear this in a year or so. It's so SOFT!)

Lillipulitzer sundress. I love her prints.

Pale grey satin evening gown (I might chop it for projects, or keep it for Violet dress up)
Lingerie style tank with creamy lace and mesh overlay
pale aqua crushed faux velvet leotard (I thought this would come in handy to build Violet's Halloween costume around...or to just throw a tutu over.)
Green St. John's Bay sweater in my size
Ginormous magenta corduroy skirt...I'll use it to chop up for other projects.
Polka dot splattered sheer top over lined tank. I think I'll cut it up and make a different style blouse out of it.
Vase printed silk top---I love the feel and the print, but it's a dowdy t-shirt style. Again, good project for the chopping. (The clothes are getting nervous....they don't like the sound of all this chopping. Don't worry, clothes....it's more like 'snipping'.)
A very grown-up little girls' tunic in black and gold. It's so intricate...I like the details many Indian clothing brands put into their children's lines.
A cute corduroy top for Violet...I think the big cord skirt from above will match this fabric.
Lined leather skirt. I'm not sure I'd wear it, but leather is expensive, and I frequently need a bit of leather for projects. I've lined baby shoes with them, used them for hair embellishments, and turned bits into belts and things.
Floral print shirt with big collar...it looks like a Granny house dress print. Did your grandmothers wear 'house dresses'? I love this old, happy, super washed-and-worn cotton print. I might just make a scarf to tie around my hair.

That was $3.75 worth of clothing!!!!

I think my favorite us the granny shirt. Love the cheerful print!

What size does Violet wear? I recently found a really cute vintage looking dress that she'd be adorable in! There's a pic of it on my latest blog post.

When its only a quarter......chop chop! Baby shoe linings out of a leather skirt sounds like an etsy shop in the making.......

Went to an arts festival this past weekend & some ingenious seamstress had a booth with children's clothing sewn out of different fabrics that went together (kind of expensive boutique looking) but she probably chopped thrift finds.....
