Well, dare I say.... a thrift store ANY DAY! Yes, appliances are rare at thrift stores, for that consumers may rely heavily on retail sources. Yet when you go into thrift stores the possibilities of finding amazing apparel are endless! Where can you find a black sequin blazer for less than $15.00? Or a long black sequin skirt? A LBD with endless possibilities of paring? At a thrift store! Here are some rules to abide by... always...
1. Make sure the piece that catches your eye fits the way you want it to.
2. Keep an eye on any distress signs from previous users, remember distressed apparels are also in style.
3. Pay attention to detail which can place a higher value on the apparel (ex. sequin, sheer, tool finishings).
4. Is the apparel worth the amount priced?
5. If tailoring is needed, what would that cost be?
6. If the total price is worth the purchase, then I say shop on!!
Here are examples...
Notice the sheer sleeves (Rule #3) on this LBD that was priced at $5.99! I chose to pair it with Juicy Couture pearl tie and Franco Sarto leather boots. This outfit is great to go out.
OR
To pair this LBD for work any of these Tory Burch flats would be perfect (w/ black stockings)!
