My latest thrift store finds and a down side to thrifting

I don't consider myself to be a naïve person. I have my moments of course, but in general, I am not particularly naïve. Personally, I find naivety to be a good quality. Its a quality I respect. There is so much junk in this world, and if someone has chosen to shelter themselves from it to the point of being what the general population would consider naïve, kudos to you.

While I do not feel that I posses said quality, I, at times, can be ignorant. A few weeks ago I found a shirt at a thrift store that I thought would make a perfect pajama shirt. It fit just right. Not too big, not too little, it was soft, and it had hot pink writing, which I find myself drawn to as of late. I'm not one of those girls who has to look cute and put together for bed. I wish I was, but I'm not. If my shirt matches my bottoms...it was an accident. Poor hubs. Not quite what he imagined married life to be like. So, I saw this shirt and thought, "hey! maybe this would help me look semi cute for bed" and I bought it.

While on vacation, I decided to sport my cute new pajama top, since I would be in the company of more than just the hubs. On the back of this shirt, in hot pink block letters, was the word "Nympho". You see, the shirt is from H&M, so I assumed it was a European word, or something foreign and trendy.... I was pronouncing it wrong in my head. After my husband had a good laugh, at my expense, I Googled the word.
Nope, not a foreign word.
From now on, I will do better research before buying a shirt from a thrift store that has writing on it.

Luckily this whole experience did not deter me from thrifting. When we got back from vacation I needed to stop at Savers to get a few things for the upcoming wedding I've been planning. I found exactly what I was looking for. While I was there I decided to look around for myself...for three hours. Don't judge.
Here are some of my finds.
