Great Finds

So...

I told you my tips the other day, one of which "know what you are looking for." As I said, I always look at dresses and handbags. The other day my persistence paid off...

I found an adorable dress by the brand "Free People." If you don't know what Free People is, it is an EXPENSIVE brand. The Dress I bought in a department store would have cost at least $130 and I got it for $6!

A couple weeks back I found another great deal at Goodwill. A Mens Danali NorthFace Jacket (See Picture) which retails at $165. I bought it for $8. It was nearly new and fit by boyfriend perfectly.

Although it does feel wonderful to find great brands for cheap, it also is rewarding to find unknown brands and make them great! One of my favorite sweaters, which I bought at a thrift store, is from the 1960s. A year after I purchased the sweater I found a cardigan at JCrew that was nearly identical. Purchansing old clothes is smart because classic styles cycle through the years and the quality of clothes was higher then than it is now.

So either current brands or unknown...GOOD LUCK SHOPPING!
