<\/a><\/p>\nGoodwill already has great prices on Christmas sweaters, pajamas, and the like. But, a visit to the Goodwill Keystone Area outlet in Reading provided me with several holiday sweaters, a scarf, and a dress suitable for New Year\u2019s Eve for under $5! (This haul also included a Gap jean jacket and tie-dye hoodie I save for later posts).<\/p>\n
Holiday sweaters are easy to spot in the bins of clothing. Two bright red Talbots sweaters and a fluffy chenille scarf were quickly snagged up and placed into my cart. Sorting through bins of asserting clothing may not be for the novice thrifter, but I enjoy the thrill of the hunt! The Nine West sparkly dress was also an easy find. It was missing its belt, but those are easy to replace and customize.<\/p>\n
After a wash and dry, my sweaters made their debut at two of our annual family outings. The first was our trip to a Christmas tree farm. The next event was an \u201cEvening of Joy\u201d at a local greenhouse. The Fair Isle-inspired sweater had accents of black and white and a delicate beaded accent. Wearing bright red at the holidays is an easy way to get in the spirit. I got several compliments on each sweater, and people are always impressed when I proudly tell them they came from Goodwill.<\/p>\n Whether you venture to the outlets or stick to the regular stores, don\u2019t forget to pick up a few festive additions to your holiday wardrobe. You\u2019re helping your community and the environment, and that\u2019s a great feeling this time of year!<\/p>\n From my closet to yours, <\/a>We always get our tree early since my oldest daughter had to go back to college, and I wore the snowflake sweater along with a coordinating scarf.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n
