Best Thrift Shop Buy - Jeans

The best thrift shop buys for me are jeans. I love to buy jeans from thrift and consignment  shops because they are durable and hold up well, and still have a lot of life left. If you choose jeans that are still in great condition - you can still get tons of wear out of them!
In fact, this is a great way to keep the kids in good pants - it's thrifty and still fashionable.

Always check zippers, buttons, and snaps for functionality, and check the seams, knees, and seat for excessive wear or signs of stress. It may be designer and a great price but if the seat splits on you after a few times wearing it you won't get your money's worth!

Happy Thrifting!

Designer on a Dime

Hey Everyone - Here's a sample of what I do - and my new Designer on a Dime post for the New Year!

Designer on a Dime - Feeling Wonderful in Winter White!!

It's a New Year - and for my new followers the Designer on a Dime series is something that I do to showcase my shopping skills and to show you all that looking lovely is definitely in your budget!

How can designer be so affordable? This is because ALL of my signature pieces are shopped entirely from local thrift shops, consignment, and online yardsales.

Featured in this series All about ANN TAYLOR! Signature pieces include my Ann Taylor top and snow white Ann Taylor corduroy slacks - both of these FABULOUS finds are from Cutie Patootie's Repeat Boutique in Jackson Square. Owner Wendy Holloway only procures the choicest finds - and makes designer affordable... Even for this mother of five! Currently she's running a 50% off sale on Winter stock - which is where I snagged these gorgeous pants at a steal!! Visit her today and check out her wonderful selections.

Oooh - and I just can't go without mentioning my bombshell red leather bag. I love unique finds like this - the little cha cha circles give a little shake and are real leather! I love that the bag adds a pop of color to the outfit.
