Hit or Miss

Things at work have been chaotic and emotionally draining and as a result I have been doing some major retail therapy. Although I’m super excited about my new items I am sometimes left with the guilt that remains when making unnecessary purchases.  One way to refocus my spending habits while remaining true to my need for fashion speed I make a spring time budget and stick to it.  I take a look at my closet and determine what trends and looks I want to add and see if I can find them in thrift shops and discount stores like Ross.  That’s where I found this dress for only $12.99!  Can’t beat that.  It incorporates the color blocking trend in a curvy friendly silhouette.  The one thing about shopping at discount stores and thrift shops is that it can be a hit or miss with fashion finds.  Patience and creativity are necessary when tackling the endless rows of messy unorganized racks.  You never know what you might find so take a deep breath and look through each item thoroughly.  It’s also a good idea to wear comfy clothing when thrift and discount shopping; ideally something easy to slip out of if you want to try anything on and prepare to spend a little more time there.  One peruse through will most likely not render and goodies.

Next Saturday April 7th I will be covering the All White Fashion Show hosted by my local Ashley Stewart in the River City Marketplace, Jacksonville, FL.  From 2-4p come see great plus size fashions and do a little shopping while DJ Mills lays down the beats.  Oh and customers get 25% off all white attire so definitely stop by.

Thanks for reading!

Stay Lovely!
