How to dress for under $10
I'm a deal maven. I can't pass up a screaming deal, even if I know it's not something I need right away. Heck, I picked up a cool vintage chair just because it was $8 & rad, not because I needed it. Happily, turns out I scored an Arthur Umanoff (read: sells on ebay for $250 per chair)! Truly, good things come to those who scour around for good deals.
Ironically, I've never been one to carry around a coupon. I just go shopping & if I find something for the right price, I buy it. I'll wait it out if I don't.
Inexpensive dresses were particularly hard to come by about 3 years ago. The trend was about 6 months away from bargain stores like Forever21 & Wet Seal. Even then, it's not like any of their dresses brag sleeves or real length past the privates. I needed to find a classy dress on the cheap for a conference I was hoping to attend. I went thrift shopping a couple of times before I met this lovely lady. It was then that I found about 6 lovely dresses all at once (mind you: each were in the $4-8 range), but I kept my shopping cart to 3 dresses. I regret not adding those other three to the basket, but I'm so glad I didn't pass up this one.
The dress was $4. The shoes were $4. The belt was $1. All items were found at thrift stores.
Good deals come to those who wait. And seek.
