My Great Finds!

A one of a kind, handmade leather handbag! $2.60 Are you kidding me??
A brand spankin new pair of Levi's for $5..
A cute, eyelet skirt that would look great with a vintage hem slip extender underneath. $4.69

A pair of Miss Sixty's.. SWEET. These retail between 170 to 250 bucks.. I got them for five..
This proves you can be stylish even if you don't have a wad of greenbacks in your purse.. Just have to know what you are looking for and to be patient.

What is the Greenest Thing You Can Do as Far as Style?

Who says it isn't okay to buy from consignment shops, thrift stores and second hand shoppes? Think of all the material saved, emissions from production saved, land resources saved and chemical output saved and the bonus, you usually save a ton a money and find great stuff. Don't forget you are helping those in need when you spend your $$ at stores like this. They usually fund a homeless shelter, a lunch kitchen for the poor, disabled individuals and so on and so forth. My favorite store is the Deseret Industries (a staple in the West). Sadly we don't have them here in the South, but still plenty of great places to look. As an example I am going out today. My mission to find the youngest three a new outfit for school. Plus I will see what I can find for myself in the process, last time I found a pair of Von Dutch jeans in my size and for five dollars. We are off!

Everyday Wear








I am really fond of jean jackets. They cover a lot of flaws and are modest.. If you can find a feminine cut that fits your body, you are set.! This outfit was mostly from Steve and Barry's. I love this store. Right now everything is $8.98. Everything, even the down coats I bought for the kids..

This complete outfit: Guess Jean Jacket found it Goodwill $4.89(it IS okay to shop there, you are being frugal, plus you are also recycling clothes and helping the environment, it is a very GREEN thing to do!)

White sleevless cotton ruffle blouse $8.98 Steve and Barry's Sarah Jessica Parker Bitten Line

Short Sleeve wonder Tee from Downeast Basics in Cinnamon $9.99

Jeans $8.98 from Steve and Barry's (these run a size big) They have some spandex in them for a comfy fit.

Red and White Polka Dot Satin Flats Rack Room Shoes $19.99
