Frugal Fashionista

Have I mentioned that I'm a frugal fashionista?  I love bargains,  of any kind really.  But I really love to find cute clothes at bargain prices.   These are just a few of my finds this year:



These great gloves that I found at Target for $12.00.
I described them as "The Most" . . . 
The Most Adorable
The Most Stylish
The Most Awesome!


And then there are these really cute little sweater dresses that I found at Plato's Closet for only $6 each!


I paired both with a turtle neck, leggings and my black riding boots.




And yesterday I scouted my favorite local mission store for these two spectacular finds:



The three string costume pearl necklace was a steal for $4.50!






















And I only paid $22.50 for this adorable black jacket
 which still had the original $88 price tag. 
 SCORE!


My other finds have been a great pair of Rue 21 skinny jeans for $12.00 at my favorite consignment store, Clutterbug.  And three terrific, ribbed turtlenecks that I got from Burkes Outlet Store for only $7.00 each.  Unfortunately, I don't have photos of these gems right now.  

Wow! It sounds like I'm a shopaholic! I'm really not.  But I will admit that I had some Christmas money that has been burning a whole in my pocket.  The turtle necks and black jacket are wardrobe stables that I needed to replace my old ones that were a bit faded or worn.  The skinny jeans and sweater dresses I bought to help me look up-to-date and hip! And well, every fashionista needs a new accessory or two every now and then! And after totaling everything up, I still haven't spent $100! How's that for Frugal?!

What about you? What are some of your frugal fashionista finds?  Do you have a favorite consignment store or bargain basement?

  2. Yay! Pictures! :) Love the frugal shopping. I frequent the Goodwill and loved Plato's Closet. I just can't make myself spend department store prices anymore. The pieces you added are super cute. :)

    1. Jill, thank you so much for all your help!! This post would still be a draft and I would probably still be banging my head against the wall trying to figure out how to get my pictures on here if it wasn't for your tutoring! Call me the next time you head to the Goodwill so we can forage frugally together! :)
