Shopping in a Recession

Well this topic was brought up over at Kelly's blog. She challenged us to list some great fashion finds under 30 dollars. There are a bunch of great ideas on her post so check it out. I personally have been into buying basics this year and less trendy. One of my favorite sites is martinandosa.com. They sell nice clothes as reasonable prices. Right now I am loving these things:



Each one costs 24.50 but they feel so soft and they are longer length which I love so I can ruche up the sides a little and hide my little love handles. This site also has some great sales and free shipping and returns. Get on their email list and they send coupons all the time. I have never paid full price on this website for anything.

I also like checking out ebay, I have gotten some great stuff for me and my daughter. I got Abby two beautiful christmas dresses this year from ebay for under 30 dollars total for both, I easily saved 60 bucks.

Thanks for the fun topic Kelly and for introducing me to the fashion going on at Walmart.

Inconvienent Debt and Fashion Friday

As Al Gore is petitioning about global warming and the inconvienent truth, Glenn Beck is bringing to light what we should really be focusing on. The chart speeaks for itself, it is amazing to see what the country has managed to do with our money in just the year 2008. Pass this on if you are as concerned as me about the current spending(I mean stimulus) bill that is looming over on Capital Hill

On a completely unrelated note, if you love fashion and could use some fun tips, head on over here. Every Friday you will find something useful and entertaining. A couple of weeks back she did her first video for Fashion Friday, she showed four ways of tying a scarf, I learned two new ways. Melanie is a really neat gal that I have been following on her blog for a couple weeks now. Have fun!!!
