If you’re not familiar with my ongoing Frugal Fashionista series, it’s my attempt to encourage women that you can dress fabulously, express a creative side that you never thought imaginable, and do it all on a “yard sale” budget.

Yes, I have heard all the hesitations about dressing thrift, but I can guarantee that with an eagle eye and some patience, everyone of you can create a small designer wardrobe of core wardrobe pieces for $100. For those of you with petite to plus sizes, it requires a bit more work, but just this week alone I found the cutest size 0 Anne Taylor dress (in their store just last year), and the sassiest size 22 pair of jeans…hip as can be, along with a fabulous size 20 black dress and three plus size skirts.
