Second Hand Shopping

Some of you may know this about me already, but I just have to say, I LOVE second hand shopping.  I would say majority of my closet is second hand clothes.  That may sound weird to you, but I will happily admit I bargain shop.  I always like the variety I find at second hand stores and I love how fun it can be to match outfits and accessories.  There always seems to be something to go with what prize I've found there vs. when I got to the mall and have to shop through four different stores to find what I want and then I've spent $70 on only a few items.  So if you're not already a thrift store shopper, maybe it's time you give it a shot.  You might be pleasantly surprised.  I promise I won't tell anyone you got your outfit for less than what you would pay for dinner ;)

flowered tank top $3, animal print dress/top $8, black purse $4

elegant tan flats $9, gold bracelet $3, gold necklace $3

total for everything you see here $30

Going to dinner knowing you didn't spend a fortune and feeling glamorous?

Priceless

(It's a good feeling not having to use a credit card to look great. Let's get back to spending only what we have. In cash. Who's with me?)


 Don't know where to shop? try my favorites.
