With collections for women, men and children, we make shopping for the whole family convenient, fun and affordable. Joe Fresh is also proud to offer extended sizes with select women\u2019s styles ranging from XS-3X and 2-22.\u201d And they are very affordable, when new this dress retailed for about $29.<\/p>\n<p>To add to the laid-back feel, I added a dark wash jean jacket from the king of casual, cool style \u2013 Gap. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-17-15-AM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3757\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-17-15-AM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"633\" data-size=\"475x633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-17-15-AM.jpg 475w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-17-15-AM-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/> <\/a>This cut is little more polished with a notched collar, defined waist and detailed stitching. I saved about 90% on this jacket when I picked it up for just $6.50. New jackets sell for $69 and up on Gap\u2019s current website.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve grown fond of the \u201cnon-athletic sneaker\u201d style, meaning I\u2019m not going to go out and run or workout in this kind of footwear. I\u2019m sure these classic Adidas Superstar sneakers are good for some sport, but I\u2019m happy to just run errands in them. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-20-23-AM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3760\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-20-23-AM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"633\" data-size=\"475x633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-20-23-AM.jpg 475w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-20-23-AM-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/> <\/a>They still sell online for $80, but I paid $7.47.<\/p>\n<p>To bring a final pop of color, I added this cobalt blue leather and chain bag by Kelsi Dagger. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-20-05-AM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3759\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-20-05-AM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"633\" data-size=\"475x633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-20-05-AM.jpg 475w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-20-05-AM-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/> <\/a>Cross body bags are a favorite of mine lately. Big enough for the basics and small enough to not get in the way. This one has gold chain and stud detailing to give a simple shape a little extra style. This bag would have sold for about $128, but my price was $4.97.<\/p>\n<p>I never thought I\u2019d wear a dress with sneakers, but here I am proudly sporting this look with pieces from my local Goodwill!<a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-19-01-AM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3758\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-19-01-AM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"475\" height=\"633\" data-size=\"475x633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-19-01-AM.jpg 475w, https:\/\/staging.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Photo-Jul-15-10-19-01-AM-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n<p>From my closet to yours,<br \/>\nKirsten<\/p>\n<p>Dress: $5.50<br \/>\nJacket: $6.50<br \/>\nShoes: $7.47<br \/>\nBag: $4.97<br \/>\n<strong>Total: $24.44<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Retail: $300+<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/KirstenBlogHeadShot.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2276\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-2276 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yourgoodwill.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/KirstenBlogHeadShot.jpg\" alt=\"KirstenBlogHeadShot\" width=\"175\" height=\"162\" data-size=\"266x246\" \/> <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About The Blogger<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kirsten is a 40-something mom, wife and marketing professional.
