Frugal Fashion Frenzy Fun with my   Friend!

 

 


Okay. How lucky am I? Not only did I get to spend time with my friend I've known since high school (which was way awesome),.... I got some amazing outfits with a modest budget!
8 Tops
3 Cardigan things
2 Skirts
3 Pants
= 7 Plus Outfits
All of these clothes for $67! I am giving the break-down of what brand each item is under the Fashion section (for those who really want to know.) Yet what really matters is that I have been given so many gifts with this one shopping experience....I can't fully express how much it means to me.

What I can say is that it is so fun to feel like I'm starting fresh with something! I've been in a clothing rut for pretty much my whole life. My aunt in Texas, whom I lived with for a year or so, told me I should try some color...and that was about 20 years ago. I like to find good deals, but what I usually purchase ends up being not so great. And I just haven't cared enough about fashion to develop much of a fashion "sense."  Hence, the outreach to my dear friend Beth with her talents and know-how at the Deseret Industries thrift store.

She really had to convince me that the skinny jeans were okay. And the bright reddish-orange colors are nothing I would have chosen on my own. Yet I feel I can be confident in wearing these items (provided I remember the advice I was given on how to put the items together.) And the confidence isn't just from wearing these clothes-- it comes from inside because I have achieved yet another goal or desire to be a little better and do things a little better than before. :)

Next excursion-- footwear. :)
