Yesterday
the sun was out for the first time in two weeks, and the kids managed
to finish all their work by noon. It was the perfect
opportunity to go out to...anywhere. So, that's what we did.
We bundled up (even with the sun out, it's still pretty chilly) and
hopped a train to our favorite shopping spot. I haven't been to
my local thrift store in a month at least and I had very particular
things I was looking for. I didn't find any of them, but I did
find this great forest green skirt and scarf for $3.50 each.
Next we
went to the mall and caught their end of winter sale and this cute
beret was only $2.25. I knew this would all go perfectly with my
yellow coat from ModCloth's sale, and this black lace top from
ThredUp . I am
totally pleased with the result; this outfit is a really great
illustration of how you can look like a million bucks without
breaking the bank. Just to prove that you can get a complete
outfit for less than $100, I want to do a quick price run down on
everything, head to toe.
= $88.22!
If only I'd waited until these heels went on clearance for $13.99 it
would have taken my total cost down to $57.22, but alas that's just
part of it. Even staunch and experienced bargain hunters such as
myself must admit you can't thrift shop everything. Sometimes I
take the risk and pay full price. But, given that most of the
things that I buy are heavily discounted, I think that's OK, because
it all evens out in the end.
Shop the look:
