Yesterday, I took a break from nervously waiting for election results to come in to go check out one of my local Goodwill's and see if I found anything good to add to my closet.
I love to shop...and sometimes it's problematic for my budget. Lately, I've been trying to make a list of clothing staples, colors or items that I'm on the hunt for in an effort to limit myself from making unplanned splurges.

| This week's list. |
You'll see the last item on the list is pencil skirts. I think they are a great versatile piece but it did take me awhile to accept them due to my occasional dislike of my pear-shaped body.
Fortunately, I'm starting to get past that and found some great additions for my closet!
 |
| White House | Black Market skirt - $3 |
I actually already have a black pencil skirt but the cut on this one is different and the sheen appears satiny. Most of White House | Black Market's skirts retail at over $100 so I was pretty pumped.
 |
| Rickie Freeman for Terri Jon - $3 |
Despite the fact that this is a size 4, I might still end up getting the waist taken in a little to add to really showcase my figure. Love this for holiday parties, etc. This brand is sold at Sak's with skirts running around $300.
 |
| Alanni by Donny Brook - $3 |
Possibly, my favorite find of the day. Yellow is one of my favorite colors and while many people are all about neutral tones in the fall and winter months, I love having pops of color to cheer up the often dreary weather.
 |
| Camel colored skirt | apostrophe - $3 |
I didn't have anything camel colored and while I usually shy away from browns because I don't like feeling like something matches my skin tone, I love this skirt and think it will go with lots of items in my wardrobe.
 |
| Printed skirt | LOFT - $3 |
This skirt still had the tags on! Love LOFT, love the top pockets on this skirt so it was an easy decision.
I also picked up a really cute white top and ended up spending just $19 after tax. You can't beat Goodwill.
What's your best Goodwill find?
