Thrifted outfit showcase!

The above photo highlights a mixture of older and newer thrifted items. The gray sweater dress is from Target, found this weekend at the Lake Street Savers. Black patent boots are from two Augusts ago, Goodwill on University Avenue. Red belt from a Unique, red necklace from one of the Savers.

This picture highlights the challenges of a do it yourself Christmas portrait with a dog. Note the treat crumbs below my chair!

Designer Jeans!

Dear Reader,

While I have not been blogging, I have been thrifting! Hopefully many of you took advantage of the big sales over the Fourth of July weekend!

Designer jeans are a major reason shopping pre-owned can save you big money. Ranging from $100 to $200, brands such as Joe's Jeans, Citizens of Humanity, Level 99, Adriano Goldschmied, 7 for All Mankind, Paige Premium Denim, Chip and Pepper, True Religion and Rock & Republic all can be found in thrift stores for a fraction of the original cost.

While the Unique Thrift Stores may sell these jeans from $15 to $40, check out these Joe's I found at the Roseville Goodwill for $6.99!





While these didn't fit me, I sold them to a friend who gave them to her niece.

I think the best odds of finding designer jeans are at the Lake Street Savers, followed by the University Avenue Goodwill. For extensive and more expensive high-end jean collections, check out Plato's Closet, TurnStyle, Clothing Mentor, Marshalls/TJ Maxx or my favorite consignment shop, Nu Look!
