{Thrifting} What I Thrifted in August

It was another pretty good month of thrifting.
I found this cover up romper that is easy to just throw over my swimsuit.

This was a splurge but a deal on Poshmark.  It's a new-with-tags washable silk dress from Quince that I plan on wearing to an upcoming wedding. I think I can dress it up or down.

I've been into puzzles since I thrifted one last month and found these from one seller on Facebook Marketplace.
I've already finished two of them.
I think I'm getting better at them (and faster!).  I might be addicted.
We went to a local estate sale and I found a few holiday decorations.  The Halloween candles have timers and still work. 
The Christmas tree stand wasn't working when I put in the new batteries but I took the bottom off to investigate the wires and I must have triggered the right connection because it turned on. Yay!
The candleholders are Lenox and will look nice for Christmas decorating. The candles were included and look kind of vintage 80's to me.

A Full & Fun Summer Weekend

 This was a really good weekend when both girls were home and it was full of good stuff, like...

...walking to breakfast in town.
...family pool time
...trying some new seltzer flavors
...poolside summer fruit
...charcuterie box and beer at a local brewery
...Bananagrams too!
...dinner and spritzes with the girls at a waterfront restaurant
...a Sunday night concert (this was the theatre, not the performer)
...the theatre had a rooftop bar for before show drinks and views
...our first time at this intimate theatre
...seeing John Waite!  He did most of his hits from the 80's and his voice is still amazing! 
This is the kind of weekend I want to remember from this summer!

Fashion Finds - Summer

You know I love a good thrift find but I've actually bought all of these items brand new and love them. 

I've been living in these shorts from Social Threads. They were a little pricey for shorts but when I break it down by cost per wear, they are a bargain!

I got this cover up from Old Navy.
This top is also from Old Navy.
This one is from Old Navy too. They were all on clearance which was nice.
I added a new swim suit to the collection. I like the look of a one piece with the convenience of two pieces.
I've been wearing this two piece set together but have also worn the pants with a black top. 
 It feels dressy but comfortable and is a nice thin material.
These are so light weight and flattering.  I want to get them in another pattern.
Tube Top
I'm not much of a tube top wearer but apparently I am now. This one stays up and is nice and thick material. I usually wear it under something else.
I wanted to hop on the beaded necklace trend this summer but a lot of them were too big. I found this one at Baublebar and I haven't taken it off. The blue agate goes with pretty much everything I wear.
I've been on the hunt for a pair of white, comfortable, washable, slip-in sneakers and finally found this pair. So far they have been comfortable from the start and I love the slip-in style. I haven't washed them yet but my daughter has a similar pair and washes them often so I'm pretty confident they will clean up nicely.

What's your favorite fashion find of the summer?

Costco Finds & Favorites

 Another Costco post for late summer.
I like to pick up the roses every other week or so. They are a great deal and last awhile.
I loved the feel of this 3 piece pj set and it's been so cool and comfy this summer.
Did you score one of the viral ESPRIT sweatshirts?   I'm glad I found them in person.
I liked the blue version best and can't wait for some cooler days to wear it.
I've learned to always buy any outdoor plants that I have my eye because they are usually gone the following week.
I love the name of this hydrangea. I also bought an Endless Summer hydrangea.
They both took a hit during the heat wave but I'm seeing new growth and hope they will thrive next year.

My mother in law had this vegetable tray at her 4th of July party and everyone was going crazy for the everything bagel ranch dip.   I bought one for my book club and it was a hit again.
City Girl #2 and I tried the MorningStar Chipotle Black Bean Burgers and we're big fans.  They have just the right amount of heat.  
Another cat pillow? I didn't get it but it is so cute.
So is this neutral pumpkin pillow.
The haunted house pillow is also adorbs.
I purchased these back in June and was hoping the fall scents would be out but they didn't have them yet.
Here's what we actually purchased. The peppers and sourdough bread are staples. This is our second bag of the Biena Crispy Roasted Edamame.  They are great to put out at Sunday Fundays and also for snacking anytime. One serving has 13 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber.
Mr. Click likes the whipped cream and enjoys the fried rice for an easy lunch. The aged cheddar sticks and egg whites have become staples for us.
I'm liking the Mary Ruth's liquid multivitamin so I bought another batch. The Harry's razors and Liquid IV are staples.
This Kirkland Italian Sparkling Mineral Water is a favorite and we keep it stocked in our fridge.  

What have you been finding at Costco lately?
