Thrift Shop Challenge

So John and Sherry made up this hilarious thrift store challenge based on this ridiculously silly song. For more info, see here, and for everyone's awesome thrift finds see here. But it's basically a challenge to spend $20/scavenger hunt to find funny things. We did both, and we had a blast! Seriously, by the end we were laughing so hard mom had tears rolling down her face. We probably looked like crazies, but it was worth it!! Here is our adventure, documented in photos.

Here we are outside our chosen thrift shop- Savers. Note the $20.
First awesome find- the little sister to Sherry's big a$$ coat. It's almost the same color and everything!!
Pajamas with feet, the biggest ones we could find in the store. They were girls XL.
This is our "all pink outfit." Do we get extra points for the fact that it's also a one-piece?? 
House slippers and MOCCASINS. We laughed at the thought of actually finding moccasins.... and then we did!
A close-up of our legit moccasins- they even said moccasin inside!!
Okay this wasn't on the list, but we had to document the fact that our thrift store had a RACK of snuggie/slankets!!! A rack of them. We were cracking up :)
Luggage, modeled ala Vanna White
This find was our pride and joy- and the item that had us in the fitting room laughing till we cried. :) I was determined to find a fringe jacket, so we searched the coat racks high and low and didn't find any. So we moved on, found some other stuff, and then as we headed back up the coat aisle- I saw them. Not one, but TWO awesomely hideous, matching fringe jackets!!!! Mom swears they weren't there the first time, so I'm pretty sure they magically appeared just for us. We headed to the fitting room to model in front of the mirror. Here we are in our fringe-y giggly glory. :) I may have like 5 more photos of us in these jackets because we thought they were so hilarious...
And finally, here's what we spent our $20 on! Mom bought three plates with grapes on them for  the plate rack in her kitchen, and I bought two little trucks and a pair of brown shoes for Evie. I think our total bill was $17 and change. Thanks for the laughs John and Sherry- we had so much fun!!
