Never Buy Full Price



okay, so unless you have a million dollar trust fund, or are just filthy rich, don't waste your time in the brand name stores, or even in Macy's!

instead, head over to my new world; Loehmann's, Century 21, and the like. the clothes are mostly brand name, and if you put effort into it, you can find amazing gems. i went today and came away with a little black dress for summer from a crap "brand" name, but it looks and feels good, three flats from Wanted, Seychelles and Anne Klein, and sunglasses from Jessica Simpson that make me feel like a star. if they were in my size, i would've snapped up a pair of Coach flats for $100, and a Juicy Couture gorgeous white skirt.

there are so many beautiful things that there must be a drawback, and sadly there is. you're not the only reccesionista who's figured out the formula to looking good and not spending a fortune. others are there too, and they can snap up your treasure faster than you can say "Miu Miu"! there can be a shortage of yummy clothes/shoes in your size, so try to get there early and work fast. but be courteous and please, don't attack the salespeople.

P.S. if you find a Sharif wallet for $15 and buy it, know that i envy you with all the fiber in my being.

xoxo, blondie.
