Yeah so , the economy taught us how to be wiser shoppers but for anyone with a love for fashion, we just find it a bit too difficult to let go of some of our favorite premium and designer brands. I mean c’mon, their great investments! Right? Duh, but there are better ways to snag stylish studs without having to resort to disposable fashion houses, Forever 21 and stores of the like. I mean could it really be saving if we’re constantly having to throw away our items after 4 wears and 3 washes..ughh. Definitely Not! But there is a way to snag our quality products at disposable prices. Believe me, I’m a master at anything frugal. It just requires a bit of patience, time and deep digging.
Take my Ross splurge for example: I’ve purchased an originally priced $95 dollar Guess gem gel stiletto for $29.99, RampageCombat Boots for $20.99 instead of $59.99, a bedazzled coffee cup and umbrella for $5 and once overly priced earrings for $11.00 [pictured above]. I also happened to stumble upon an upscale line of beauty products I used to use but ditched because of their prices. Not to mention my mom found an INCREDIBLE $200 VALUED CALVIN KLEIN suit for a mere $98. I just about died and hope to have it passed down to me in the near future…*sigh* .For once I was actually enjoying a trip to Ross. Which is typically not my favorite discount store but it serves to prove that patience, deep digging and timing was key. I know Discount stores aren’t a secret to anyone but they’ve seemed to have been overlooked. I guess it’s the impression that their items are “out-dated and damaged” which is completely false. It just means someone somewhere in the fashion cycle made a big boo-boo whether it’s over buying or selling to the wrong market and well left it to TJ Maxx, Ross, Nordstrom Rack..etc to clean up their mess. Also, don’t forget to search your favorite retailers, clearance and sales online. On Bakers website I found a multitude of stilettos, sandals and boots that were conveniently marked down from their previous prices and the shoes were very much in the happening or forecasted to be. Happy shopping style-a-holics!
Stay ADDICTED!
