Next week I will be doing a brief talk at a MOPS meeting about being fashionably thrifty. I don't know why I was chosen but it sounded like fun so I said yes!
I need to talk about how to look nice and still work within a budget. I have some ideas but I wanted to see if any of you have any great tips on places to shop, time of week/month/year to shop for the best deals, items that you can't live without, etc. You get the picture!
I'm a little nervous because I don't consider myself stylish--I feel that I am more eclectic and tend to pick things that I like individually so that in turn forces me to be eclectic. There are a lot of gorgeous, super well-dressed ladies at MOPS so hopefully they don't roll their eyes at my ideas of a bargain! :)
So give me any tips you can, I appreciate it!

Pressure! I'm sure you will be great! I think you are pretty fashionable, as I am way less than you, but I am pretty thrifty. This may be old news, but my tip would be to have a good basic wardrobe with lots of essential blacks, whites, and solids. Then you can jazz up with the accessories. Shop at the end of the season, off the sale and clearance racks. Layering is also great, then you can wear things in multiple seasons. Don't waste money on a lot of fad items or things that can only be worn for a short period of time, i.e. don't buy a $100 raincoat because you like the hot pink color, haha :)
