Ugly Christmas Sweaters. It’s Hip to be Square.

December 8, 2012

I can’t help but smile when I see someone at the mall, at a Christmas party or out and about boldly wearing a loud Christmas sweater, embroidered sweatshirt or Santa Claus hat. Normally this comes with slight disregard for traditional fashion sense. It’s festive, it’s fun, it’s something you talk and joke about.

Ugly Christmas sweaters are colorful. They’re busy. They’re garish.

They’re the opposite of cool, yet they are cool at the same time. They are conversation pieces. Who can find the most ornate, the most creative, the most daring? It’s Christmas and it’s time to celebrate. “Fashion can be put on hold when I wear my ugly Christmas sweater,” seems to be the prevailing mood. That’s why ugly Christmas sweaters remain a popular annual trend.

Where do we find our new favorite? To find an ugly Christmas sweater that suits your particular personality and budget takes some doing. If you’ve shopped online for them, they can also carry hefty price tag. Instead of shelling out $35 or $50 for an ugly Christmas sweater, shopping at your local Goodwill can save you plenty. In fact, you can afford to buy several different sweaters at thrift store prices for much less than you would pay for one at retail or online with shipping.

You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the wide selection, quality and variety of sweaters and sweatshirts that Goodwill has. Keep in mind, each Goodwill store has unique ugly Christman sweaters in stock.

Challenge your friends and relatives. Plan an ugly Christmas sweater party. Ask guests to wear an outlandish sweater or sweatshirt to your next gathering.

Shop Goodwill. You’ll be happy you did.

Fall and Winter Clothing in Demand at At Goodwill

November 8, 2012

Whether you are looking to purchase new winter clothing or accessories or whether you are seeking to clean out your closet to make room for new purchases, now is the time to think Goodwill.

Hats, scarves, gloves, jackets and sweatshirts

While coats and sweatshirts are in ready supply at all Goodwill locations, hats and scarves – especially for women – are highly desirability, so they don’t stay on our shelves very long.

During a recent store visit, accessories like this attractive hat and scarf combination were on display.

This would go great with many coats, not to mention that it’s warm and soft.

As well as a blaze orange men’s hunting jacket.

Goodwill’s thrift store shoppers are always looking for a bargain, but keep in mind whether purchasing or donating, that proceeds from the sale of all Goodwill products helps people with disabilities and difficult to employ workers to find job training and meaning jobs. Without you, there could be no Goodwill.
