For example, the outfit I wore yesterday:
dress :: Khol's ($18)
Shirt (under dress) :: Khol's ($10)
Cardigan :: JCP ($14)
Rings :: JCP ($29 originally $80) & gift ($40)
Watch :: Target ($12)
Outfit total :: $87
Now I really couldn't believe I bought that ring. But it was super reminiscent of one I lost back in school so I felt I had to buy it. I am also on the hunt for another one that was lost at the same time, that my mother gave me. This one was given to me by my mother & it was given to her by her mother. I was completely torn up for days (and still get waves of sadness) over it.
This is the ring that was a gift from the picture above. It was also from my mother. We found it in a consignment shop in her home town over last Thanksgiving. Both she & my grandfather have one like it. I always loved hers & wanted one. It wasn't until my grandfather passed away that I realized he had one & she always love it. I am very excited to see that this is something we all share:
I believe it is onyx. There is a diamond in the middle.
Anyway, the point of this post is that I have found super awesome deals on clothes by just shopping in the clearance rack. I even think that since I have been on my own I've only bought one or two full price things. I think I am setting a new little goal to only shop in the clearance section. I mean when I hit a store I look for those red signs!
I have also decided to see if I can get away with thrift store or handmade gifts for xmas. I've already picked up my sisters gift fro a total of $4! Two absolutely lovely satchels that were 2 bucks a pop!
You can also pop by Five Sixteenths & see that I wore a near similar outfit to work again the next day.
What are you skimping & saving on?
Where do you draw the savings line?
Are second hand/clearance gifts ok?
