To compliment the "Beauty On A Budget" series I'll be doing some posts about "Style On A Budget". I work in an office setting where we are expected to wear business casual attire 4 days a week and jeans are allowed on Fridays. I enjoy dressing up for work, but I don't enjoy the price associated with it. So I've learned to be thrifty with my work style!
This past weekend I found a navy blue J.Crew brand t-shirt and a White House Black Market a-line skirt! If you're not familiar with these brands, they are pretty darn expensive. After doing some research I discovered that the skirt retailed close to $100...and I bought it for $5.99. My total for the day was $9.72.
I could not believe how many brand name items I found at my local store. I came across a pair of Ann Taylor pants with the tags still on and another J. Crew shirt. I had no idea I would find such cool stuff!
Obviously, I will not always find such awesome deals on designer brands, but so far I am VERY impressed with the Goodwill! I've decided to make it a weekly ritual to drop by the store and see if there is anything that catches my eye. I set aside a certain amount of money each month for clothes, and I definitely get more bang for my buck at the Goodwill.
Have you had good luck at the Goodwill? Share your finds in the comments section!
Pretty much all my clothes come from Goodwill (especially on $.99 days) except shoes! If you are prepared to search you can find the most awesome things!
