I tried a thrift store first, but came up dry. I will wear them with a top I already have and shoes I already have. Bonus: I did not buy a wasp nest For some strange reason, someone is selling a wasp nest for $200 on Facebook Marketplace. I’m just not sure why in the world someone would buy it! Then I went to T.J.

Also, I tend to keep pieces for a long time, as I learned years ago that buying quality clothing lasts much longer than fast fashion. While I like to shop at thrift stores, I have a hard time finding TALL length jeans for my 5’10 frame and I was in need of new jeans. I won’t need to buy jeans for a few years. $20

Because so many people are living on incomes that cannot support their spending habits; living on borrowed money, moving money from account to account, buying, spending, hiding the bills, and eventually the ‘dog of debt’ will catch up to you and bite you right in your credit report. Buy Store Brands. Don’t know how to cook?

Most of the time the less than basic supplies I buy, I buy because they inspire me, and then I figure out what to do with them once I get them. Another less than 5 dollar vintage piece… And now for the shoes. It was mostly about the shoes. And I need new jeans (I promise, I am going to get to the shoes!).

Today is One Day Without Shoes. Please take a moment to check out the site and think for a moment about what a life without shoes might look like. Then, if you can, maybe hop on over to Tom’s and buy some shoes so someone else can have a pair too. Look, I admit, I’m not a huge fan of the original Tom’s shoes.

If your kids wear uniforms to school, you know that they can be pricey, especially if you buy everything from the uniform shops. Or you may find that you can buy shirts at other locations and then pay to have the patch added at the shop later. eBay is also a good online resource for gently used clothes, shoes or other accessories.

I had to part with $35 to buy one of those paint masks to even be able to apply it. Rather than going out and buying the new, now suitable styles, I am trying to wear out my old office clothes – even if they aren’t perfectly suited to the task at hand. I hate buying clothes new. My wardrobe needs have changed.

Both the dress and shoes are Isaac Mizrahi for Target. These sandals were one of my best buys last summer. Target.com called them gladiators but I think they are more of a plain old sandal. ~ I made the key necklace of course, but I found all of the chains at a thrift store for less than 3 bucks each. I really miss his stuff.

We still need to buy a chair for the living room, and a pub table for the dining area. When you walk in, the first thing you see is a distressed black bookcase with shoes and bags. It took weeks of searching before the right pieces showed up, but I got them for a steal and saved hundreds of dollars over buying them new.
