I picked up a couple sweaters recently for $1 a piece and have worn them for all the festivities! Oh, and a dress for Christmas Eve church was only $1 and I wore black pants under it because it was a blizzard! I hope the scarf made up for the pants! Fun!

I get so inspired when I read them. I even went to our local Goodwill a couple of weeks ago and tried several things on. This is something I have never done before. Nothing fit me but I will be going back soon. Thanks for the inspiration! I really love these frugal fashionista posts! I get so inspired when I read them.

Deeply to you I say that you and I are similar in our hunt for the deals and the 'details', the love of the process and the beautiful outcome for the lowest price :) Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas! ~Connie (homeschooling mommy of 3 in Oregon) ps May I add that the Lord has been so good as I am in week 2 of recovering from a bi-lateral mastectomy after finding cancer on one side...the other side and all nodes clear however in the midst of this there are still fun finds at the Goodwill to be found with my 'new' body for this time :) My apology to your readers if this is too much information, just wanting to share and give Glory to God, and enjoy the frugal fashionista in each of us! ~C Jen, I love every bit of these posts and to see this one today is a ‘Christmas Present’ to me, for that is how much I enjoy seeing your “finds” and how you make it all work (thanks for the pics).

I stopped by my favorite thrift store on a whim last Monday. I didn't really intend to go this week, but I sure am glad I did! I found some elegant items for New Year's and a fancy dinner out we've planned in early January to celebrate our fifteenth anniversary. I got an Ann Taylor velvet shell top (lined with silk), a pair of wide-leg Tahari wool trousers, a knee-length leather skirt, and a pair of high peep-toe pumps--all for just over $20. :-) Have a blessed Christmas.

My mum came along (she's visiting for the week -yay!) and the two of us spent a couple hours having fun browsing the shelves. I came away with amazing treasures. Thrift store and yard sale clothes shopping is one of my favorite things and today was no different - well, today was better because my mum was there to go too :) If we lived closer I would *love* to spend an afternoon or two with you and take all the pictures for you of your clothes/accessories. In fact I might even barter with you and trade photography for some M size thrifty finds ;) But alas, five hours is a bit of a drive for a photoshoot :) I read this earlier today (when I left the gingerbread comment) and then immediately was inspired to go to the local thrift store.
