I love to shop. I admit it. In fact, I might borderline as an addict. But these days, nobody can afford to endulge. It wasn't too difficult to avoid the mall during the long winter months (busy holiday shoppers, boring & drab styles), but now that Spring is here and it's brought along all it's pretty colors - it's pure torture!
There are so many cute spring dresses and fun patterns out there that I'm ready to add to my wardrobe. Unfortunately, all I can afford is reinvent with what I already have.
I dug through years of clothes (hey, I've worked retail since I was 18) to see what I had, what still fit, and what I forgot even existed. What I discovered surprised me. It was like shopping in a vintage boutique - for free! So many cute tanks and tops. Lots of bold costume jewelry (okay, so I raided my Mom's accessories too). A ton of ways to mix and match that I never tried before (it pays to be a little inventive).
What I didn't care for or didn't fit anymore even came to use. I packed it all up and brought it to a local resale shop. Hey, gotta make everything work for me. Now I'll have a little extra cash to pick up a cute dress or two!
So, if you're like me and are ready to make the shift into spring fashion - skip the mall and shop your own closet. What you find in there may surprise you!
