Glam Spotlight – Jimmy Shoes

December 7, 2011 3 Comments

What are the chances of finding a pristine pair of gold Jimmy Choo strappy heels and white Prada sandals at a Goodwill store near you? Better than you might think. These were donated to Goodwill Industries of Hawaii and dropped off at the new Retail Store in Kailua, Kona. More and more people are editing their closets and making room for new items. They’re bringing in quality, gently used clothing and accessories to Goodwill because they believe in the mission – helping people with employment barriers to reach their full potential and become self-sufficient.

This Prada pair (above) sells for $314.00 on BlueFly.com (originally priced at $450.00) and a similar pair of gold Jimmy Choo strappy heels were found on Ebay for $400. What does this mean to you? Now you know the secret of what many thrifters and hipsters have known for years… you can find amazing deals and treasures at Goodwill. Take a note from Selena Gomez and wear your gold Jimmy’s with a champagne dress. These items can be found at the much-anticipated Goodwill Goes GLAM! event in 2012.
