This past weekend I took a trip to New Orleans for my sister’s bachelorette party and before I left, I visited my local Goodwill to shop for vacation essentials. One of the reasons I highly recommend shopping at your local thrift store for vacation essentials is because, for most people, the cost of going on vacation can quickly add up. Once you’ve booked your flight and hotel, plus added in food and vacation activities, you may start to feel a little stressed out. I save money by picking up the basics at Goodwill. This way I can look cute on a budget!!!

 Here comes the bride. Erica is getting married in May and we are all so excited!

No vacation is complete without comfortable shoes for sight seeing or just hanging out by the pool. My sisters could not believe that I own a pair of crocs because they don’t see them as the most fashionable shoes; however, I love my crocs because they are super comfortable and I only paid $10 at Goodwill.

This is a super cute outfit for a night out on the town. My sister Brittany found these super cute slacks at Goodwill. 

Maxi dresses are great for vacation because the fabric is lightweight and breathable.

Good sturdy luggage can cost anywhere from $75 to a few hundred dollars. My best friend found this great set of luggage for at Goodwill for way less. You just can’t beat that!

This summer do what all the cool kids do, and shop at Goodwill for all of your vacation essentials!
