the new pretty

Paying full price for beautiful clothes can warrant much heartache and certainty an enormous fashion conundrum. The inevitable battle between looking stylish and walking away from that ridiculously high price tag may plague even the savviest shopper. Magazines are laden with stunning styles and drool worthy designer duds – something I might seriously contemplate giving up my left arm for. But when it comes down to it, how might a normal gal score a piece of expensive fabric while keeping all body parts intact?

Thankfully I have perfected the art of deal hunting, dress stalking, and walking away from an overpriced item only to spot it at my favorite discount stores mere months later. An awesome fashion phenomenon that has happened for me over and over again for countless clothes, jewelry and shoes! Seeing something you have been pining over for months for half off is one of my favorite treats, as if they were waiting for you to discover their hiding place and run over to the cash register to make them your own.

My hopes with this blog is to share my cultivated and practiced tips and tricks for looking like a million bucks at a fraction of the price. Trust me, there is no better feeling than coming across something you love for a cost that might make you feel criminal. Fashion should be silly, personal and above all make you feel amazingly confident – and smart too ;)
