Designer labels? On a seriously low budget? I say, "That's why god made thrift stores."
Nearly every day, I put together an outfit for less than $10 (top to toes, including accessories). I do wear things more than once -- I mix-and-match them with each other, creating new outfits. So, they actually cost me LESS than $10 an outfit.
I have friends who spend more on one outfit than I spend in a month (and I look just as good). I have silk sweaters, silk blouses, Armani dresses, Joe's jeans, Betsey Johnson purses, Ferragamo shoes. None of them cost me more than $4.00. Ever.
Look cute, under $10. Oh yeaaaah. I'm a happy gal.
More thoughts tomorrow.
