 Alright beotches, here it is: The Epically Cheap Elie Tahari Blazer as part of an outfit. Said outfit also includes a classy white button down (Banana Republic Outlet, thank you Jersey) and American Apparel’s magical elastaan leggings.
I think the length of the jacket tames the potentially . . . → GO ON… Elie Tahari for Goodwill. Bah!

 One would think Free People’s line “born out of love for vintage athletic wear, workwear and military outfitting” (how poetic) might not be as overpriced as Free People itself. One would be wrong. Alas, We The Free ‘s biggest offense isn’t its price tags; it’s that . . . → GO ON… We The Free, WTF

 I saw this navy shapeless blob of a thing whilst thrifting at Monk the other day, and immediately knew it had potential. A belt turns an XL shirt into a dress – this we know. But what really made me go for it was the material: . . . → GO ON… DIY Dress, Sewing Optional

 Yesterday afternoon, I walked twenty blocks up 5th Avenue in search of Monk; a thrift store deemed better than Beacon’s by some fellow Park Slopers. It’s not. But if you’ve got time to sift through the junk, it certainly has potential.

 Before I’m about to toss something I haven’t worn in awhile, I assess its post-hemline surgery potential. If it seems promising shortened, sans sleeves, etc., I whip out my fabric scissors and go to town.

I am in need of some fashion advice in a territory I am not too comfortable with: Thanksgivings with my boyfriend’s super-conservative/traditional family!

 I try not to waste my time on shit I can’t afford, so I’m only vaguely familiar with Commes des Garcons. I brushed up on my knowledge of asexual, monochromatic clothing when I heard about the label’s collabs with H&M (Commes des Garcons means “like boys,” . . . → GO ON… H&M Drinks the Kool-Aid

 When the economy sucks and gets suckier, sacrifices have to be made in all areas of life. Maybe we can’t afford ten dollars in Pinkberry each day. Maybe we also need to let go of one of our usual splurgy poos…at least for the time being.

 Now, I don’t like to brag; anyone who knows me personally can attest to my exemplary modesty in shopping and in life (HA!). Alas yesterday, whilst leaving no hanger unturned at Goodwill, I paused to admire my armfull of Goodies (henceforth, all Goodwill finds will be . . . → GO ON… Where There’s a (Good) Will…
