GOODWILL OF ORANGE COUNTY - BREA

Welcome back this time we are visiting a thrift store in Brea. The thrift store I went to was called Goodwill, this is a popular chain of thrift stores across the United States. I have been to many Goodwill's and this location is by far my favorite! From the merchandise to the cleanliness of the store. Another great feature that Goodwill's has vs other thrift stores is there are always deals, different colored tags that results in cheaper prices. They also offer a reward membership, you put your phone number in at checkout to earn points. 

The store layout of this location is really nice, walking into the store it's very simple to see each different section, from mens to women's. They also have accessories, cookware, and other random finds you might enjoy. I personally love to thrift to find jeans, mens jeans especially are my favorite! I have found some great vintage Levi's here every time that are my forever jeans. Today wasn't different, I found great jeans, cute baby tees, jackets, and mugs. When it comes to finding a good baby tee I usually go to the kids section and see what they have because most of the time I find a perfect fit and they are always cuter. It's very stressful thrifting because there's just so much apparel but just be patient and the right pieces will pop up. I also love to put everything I like in my cart. Even if I'm not obsessed with looking at it, maybe it will wear better than I expected. This location has 4 large dressing rooms for the customer to try on. When thrifting a dressing room is a game changer because it's difficult to see how a garment will fit.

 

The employees are very lovely and do an amazing job at keeping this store neat. Usually everything is on the correct rack, nothing on the ground. All the same sizes together, which makes the customers shopping experience definitely better and easier. But I still love to browse every rack just in case. 

After this visit I was really happy with what I bought, definitely a successful trip to the thrift. I came out with some jeans, few tops, some jackets, and mugs and wine glasses!

This was a vintage top I found and some jeans. I was really happy about these jeans because they were vintage Lucky Brand Jeans, so gorgeous!! The top was $4.99 and the jeans were $9.99, a great deal. Also found this adorable baby tee in the kids section, I love a girly top like this, was $1.99. 

 

              

Also found this great warm zip up jackets in red and yellow, I love these types of jackets to wear to the gym. Never skip the men's section!

     

Lastly got some cute mugs and wine glasses, I'm a coffee lover so looking at vintage mugs is super fun to do. My mom loves wine so I always surprise her with some nice glassware. All these were $0.99!

Overall, such a great visit, keep checking in for more thrift and vintage shops!
