Easy essentials you can shop at thrift!

I all that Christmas cash already burning a hole in your pocket?  The bonuses from work, the $10 our cute grandma sends, gift certificates from husbands who don't know what else to get, etc etc etc.  We spend a huge amount of time and emotional energy shopping for others the entire month of December, stressing out over ever gift giving detail.  Then on 12/26 it's time for you ring in the cheer for your self.  Before you go and blow your whole wad at the mall, finding your self overspending and under buying, let me give you a few tips on how to stretch that dollar.

I sped a lot of time shopping, (that's the understatement of the century)!  When working with a budget I take my clients to the Goodwill.  You can see all the past Goodwill style shopped {here} & {here}.  Here are 3 quick and easy buys you can shop and style when buying thrift and not breaking the bank!

1. Jackets and blazers.  These are great finds when rummaging racks at the thrift store.  Most women get frustrated when trying to style a blazer or jacket.  They feel boxy and/or masculine when they wear them.  So they end up in the donation pile, ripe for the picking when you show up to the Goodwill!

2. Cardigans.  I don't know what it is but women love to get rid of these, HUGE mistake.  A lot of the time women think they have to have a specific "outfit" for each of their cardigans, wrong!  So again they mistakenly end up being donated by the bag full.  Cardigans are layers meant to be mixed and matched with multiple pieces.

3. Scarfs.  These are accessories that are fun to swap out every so often.  Grabbing new colors, finding unique prints, and then donating the old ones.  So don't break the bank on this piece.  Scarfs are great staples to buy on budget so you don't feel bad when you get board with them!

How red shoes can change your styled life!

The most famous pair of red shoes are of course Dorothy's sequined gems.  Those shoes carried her through the most memorable adventure of her life, and eventually brought her home safe and sound!  Those red shoes changed her life, and at times gave her the confidence she needed to keep her on her journey.  We all need shoes like that sometimes!

Red shoes are life changing, and they don't have to be sequined and from a dead witch.  However, they can be hand-me-downs :)  Check out the pair I found at the Goodwill while shopping with my client!  These shoes went with every single outfit we shopped and styled her in, it was amazing!  And, they took every look from good to great!  Don't dismiss the power of great pair of red shoes ladies.  They can be style life changing, and give you the boost you need to stay the journey day to day!



Ok, ok, I know is not red shoes.  But a red belt can make magic happen too.




Imagine the red shoes here :)


You're amazed I know!  Not only does she looks great with this little accessory, but all these outfits were put together at a the Goodwill.  A thrift store!  

If you want to shop thrift with Fashion Fix, well you can.  Visit the website for details!

Sunshine Yellow & Lipstick Red with Touches of Gold

I became obsessed with layering sweaters and blouses when I saw Tess over at Kokoon style the Princess Sweatshirt that way.  It haunted me for months, and I wanted to recreate her cute style so badly.  I was instantly on the search for the right pieces that would give me the perfect look.  And these crop tops that are half knit half silk/poly are all over the place, and I love them.  Unfortunately they don't love my shape right now, that shape being a round in the middle :)  They cut off in just the worst spot, highlighting the wrong feature!  Elongating the sweater with a long blouse gives it the perfect fit for me! 

You'll be able to shop styles and looks that are the perfect fit for you too!  Join me and local stylist Amanda from Bella Moxie at the Second Debut Fall Fashion Party this Thursday!  Get your ticket now, and get your fashions Thursday.
