Thrift Finds

On Friday night, I realized that Saturday was my last chance to go back to Subway and get a Gravity Falls themed kids meal (again). The kids meals are pretty nifty because they come with bags themed around cool kids TV shows and movies, and also they come with apple slices and milk instead of soda and chips. It's a small sandwich (for subway) but it's not shabby. And even with tax that's all under 5 dollars!
Anyway, I'd already been to subway and gotten a bag with Mabel on it, which I put art supplies into later (just like my vanellope von shweetz bag). They aren't actually too handy for lunches because they look like little purses (but I won't get into gender stereotypes here). But upon further internet research I discovered that the 'boy' bags, at least for the Gravity Falls theme, were legit lunch bags that folded over on top to close and had one handle and all that. Sooo I hoped that there were some left.
This is turning into a long story so long story short, I worried they might be out, then it looked like they were, but I asked if there were more, and the only gravity falls ones they had left were the very one I wanted. So without further ado, my new lunchbag:




I also discovered that there's a little goodwill hidden back there in the area and I had lots of free time before work, so I thought I'd look around.
Turns out that this particular goodwill had more things I like than any other goodwill I've gone to. I went into the trying-clothes-on-stall (I want to call it a dressing room but I feel like I'm forgetting the proper name?????) with at least seven things on my arm and saw another amazing skirt on the way.
So I tried 'em on and as expected most of them didn't really work but about five did.
I decided I didn't need a plain brown cardigan and eventually decided I didn't need a stripey one either. However, I did get these three items:
I was really happy to find patterned shorts since all of mine are plain. They're also very thin and cool for hot texas weather. and I like the ties on them, since that means they can be as loose or conservative as I need them to be.

I tried on this shirt and felt like this: YESSSSS. It's large and thin but not see through, plus it's stripey. It felt so good to wear it.

This is the skirt that I saw on the rack near the changing rooms. It's also pretty thin, but long and I love the color scheme. When I saw it I knew there was no way I was going to leave without it, unless it somehow didn't fit (which isn't usually a problem with skirts as they are very forgiving)
So those are the things I got Saturday.
