Nicole (one of my bestie's) told me she was looking for a new skirt and I remembered reading about a sale Down East was having. It must have been a fundraiser for BYU, because it was only at the Provo location. If the sale was going to be as good as it sounded, we decided it was worth the drive to Provo. 2 hours and under $70 later.... it was worth the drive. :)
ready to get our shop on :)
showing off/trying on our new cute clothes!
my pile
9 shirts, 2 cardigans, and 1 dress later (these are all brand new by the way...thrifting is buying used clothes, right?) I was a very happy girl :) (Nicole scored some amazing buys as well!) The drive, the heat and sweat, the 2 screaming kids...oh it was SO worth it! (I'm not sure the little babes would agree though, haha!) It is such a thrill buying that many clothes at once :) This was totally a blog worthy kind of sale- haha!P.S. It was so exciting showing my new clothes to Eric! He thought I'd never stop pulling clothes out of the bag :) And the best part was telling him how much each item cost. What a thrill :) Then Eric had the idea to take this picture of me:

O man you just made me want to go shopping so bad!! I love finding deals, it gives me a high and i'm not joking I really think it is like a drug for me! haha
Um we may need to plan a shopping trip while I'm in Utah!! :)
And I'm totally with you on the cutesy, frilly, girly clothes! Down East is my kind of place!!
Oh my gosh I love you! That was the best post ever! I am in serious need of new clothes and you make me want to go shopping! I especially love the picture that Eric took. :)
Wow, that is a SUPER good deal! Good job!
Ha ha ha ha. I love this. I am so bad at thrifting. I still need to get over thinking it's gross. Downeast is the best, though! I wish I could have gotten a piece of that sale!
i love downeast! and it looks like you got SOOO many good finds yay!
thats a good deal. and your stuff looks really good!!! i love thrifting..but i can't find clothes its mainly stuff for the house but id be in if i could find a place like that....
Ooooooooooooh, all of the stuff you found looks adorable! I love thrifting. I'm not very good at it...I don't have a ton of patience to look through racks and racks to find one gem. But I am slowly getting better at having the eagle eye and spotting things that are perfect for me.
Keep thrifting, girl!

That is hilarious!!! WOW!!! What a great trip! I'm pretty sure that it was amazingness! I thrift all the time, but usually only find 1 or 2 things every month, this is magical Courtney!!! xox!

I'm a shopaholic, so this post just made music in my head... especially that last photo- I've always wanted to do that!! Looks like you scored some beautiful things! I love sales- I would drive almost any distance to experience that. Super jealous, but so glad you had fun with it!! You have great taste. :)
I only wish I would get all that stuff for $70! A little jealous ;)
I LOVE that you wear his shorts. I used to do that too when I dated athletes. Then I married a musician. haha So now I just buy my own boy's sweats and shorts. : )
Hi! I just found your blog through another one...
I'm jealous of your shopping spree, and it's even better you got so much for so little!

HA! That last picture is GREAT!! SO cute!
My husband used to be like that about pictures, too, but after about 5 years, he finally warmed up the the idea that I like taking pictures and he better just darn well get used to it. ;)
I am so happy you found so many CUTE things!! YAY!
OH MY!!! Okay...I'm having major Downeast withdrawals. I would even when they used to be a kiosk in the mall but now that they are a huge store with the cutest clothes imaginable I miss them even more! Too bad I'm not good at online shopping- lol. I would seriously take a pic like that too. I love that your hubby suggested it!!
i love downeast! you got so much stuff!!! that would be like 250 usually!! great job. :D
Looks like you had a ton of fun. And got some way cute clothes!!
