I go to local thrift stores (primarily non-profit) and usually bring home a large quantity of department store and designer clothing and shoes by spending only $30-$45 and a few hours looking for fashion items to be worn with my existing wardrobe.


The goal is to is to inform women of the fashion affordability of shopping at thrift stores, the benefit of donating, and how these organizations help disadvantaged, recovering and abused men, women and children.

Outfit of the week 1.4.15

This heather grey Kathy Ireland wrap dress is a 1990's throwback (her fashion line with Kmart dissolved back in the mid-'90s.) It's a 2014 thrift store find - but a timeless dress design (a' la Diane von Furstenburg). 

The black, faux-sued lace-up shoe are Isabel Toledo for Payless Shoes. Isabel Toledo became world-famous when she designed a lemongrass yellow wool lace shift dress with a matching overcoat that FLOTUS wore at the first inauguration of President Obama. I've also read that Mrs. Obama has been a long-time fan of her work since 2008 and buys Toledo's designs from Ikram Goldman's in Chicago.

The heather grey tights with the chevron design are from Walmart.
The grey tights will provide a different look from my usual black tights.
