I ended up with a couple of tops, and this is one of them… It has been raining non-stop for a week or more now, and I have put away my Etsy bag of wonderment to keep it safe, and pulled out this nice thrifted leather bag. I don’t like when Nathan comes out and watches me take my pictures. But I get it. I’d look too.

I spent the AM having donut holes and watching TV with my husband. And while we did, we went thrifting. I thrifted it and a sequined top with Tina. Do you have newly thrifted dry clean only purchases like jackets cleaned before you wear them? I was a victim of my own procrastination. Nice and lazy. And it was 5:30.

Nathan got it for me at a thrift store, and it really brings home Sal’s post about thrifting current trends. I’ve seen a similar bag in Target. It's current, classic, well made, and Nathan paid less for it than I would have paid for the cheap version at Target. And the length on this one is perfect!

I knew I wanted a black shrug to make it work for the office, but I am not really shopping for new clothes right now, so I was looking at thrift stores and not finding what I needed. I’ve been watching a lot of Mad Med Season 2, and this shape felt very Mad Men to me. Tags: etsy Target Payless. oh my goodness, my legs!~

I have watched it no less than 20 times since then. Cardigan, Target Tee, Infant Sorrow tee, Ebay Jeggings, Target Boots, Doc Martins, thifted by Nathan. I had no idea. It is the funniest thing I have ever seen. I rented it, and loved it. And then I bought the DVD right before the holidays. And the mailman. And the neighbors.

Do you walk into Target for just one thing and come out with a big bag of stuff? I will start preparing for the winter to spring wardrobe transition by spending the month going through our warm weather clothing bins and taking an inventory of needs, so I can take advantage of sales and thrift store finds. 5 – Find Extra Cash.

My personal belief is that you can shop discount stores, thrift and vintage shops for about 90% of your wardrobe. Tags: raves handbags etsy Target hand made Payless Forever XXI WalMart. There is no reason to go broke or by expensive designer brands most of the time. However, I do have exceptions to that rule. One of those is handbags.
