Goodwill hunting #8: bamboo pajamas

When I go to the Goodwill Outlet Store, I'm really stretching my level of thriftiness. It's literally dumpster diving inside a building, and all the enthusiasts looking for a bargain are there diving with you.

On my last super-thrifty shopping experience, I found a pair of adorably patterned pajamas with purple, black, and white---a fun combination. I found a brand new Victoria's Secret pair of pajamas a month before, so it was cool to find more sleepwear. 


Before I thoroughly washed it in the machine, I discovered it was mostly made from bamboo rayon, an eco-fashion fabric that's still rarely used in clothing, particularly the ones you find in a recycled place. 

It's a double take with shopping at the thrift store and finding an item of clothing made from an eco-fabric. It's exciting to see certain terms like 'organic,' 'recycled,' or 'bamboo' on clothing tags. Hope to find more.
