Frugal Fashion Find: Yellow Dress, Peach Dress, White Faux-Fur Coat & Gold Clutch

So while driving back from my last thrifting adventure I decided to start blogging about my frugal finds. Lately though I rarely make it to the thrift store...kinda hard to thrift with a newborn and a three year old. So I decided to go through my old pictures and show you some of my favorites I still have hanging in my closet and probably will forever. I love finding pieces I will offer to Gwyneth when she is big enough to wear. Vintage and classic pieces are my cup-of-tea!

So here we go...three of my faves!

FFF:Yellow Dress

Vintage Yellow Dress: $1.(yeah, one dollar) /Post thrift store (I haven't been able to go there since my husband got out of the Army...I miss that place)

Dry cleaning was $7...all the pleating. But so worth it! This was on our 10 year wedding anniversary cruise to Bermuda. Amazing trip with my husband!

The shoes were given to me by my momma (who is also a bargain babe) I think she found them at a resale store. LOVE THEM. Thanks again momma!

btw, I'm wearing my wedding jewelry in all of these pix. It's costume jewelry, but I still love it. Will pass it to my G if she wants it someday. Okay, getting emotional...

Moving on to the next find...

Here are two of my besties at a "bond party". I guess I could mention that the black fur coat and cape were made by me, yours truly.:)


FFF:Peach dress & white faux-fur coat

That suave young man below is one of my brothers:) I'm sure I just embarrassed him by calling him suave. But look at him...love ya bub!

FFF: Peace Dress & white faux-fur coat

Vintage Peach Dress: $4. /same post thrift, different day.
White Faux-Fur coat: $10 /same thrift, also different day.
Vintage Gold Clutch: $1. /yard sale

Gold belt, a splurge...Express. I could justify spending $20 on it since everything else was so cheap.

Notice how all pieces were found on different days? Bargain shopping takes patience. I have never found a whole outfit at one time. I find pieces here and there. Then I shop my closet and put a look together.

Well, there was a peak into my closet. Cya next time!
