Addicted to Thrifting

I think all of you fashionistas can relate when I say that I'm a shopping addict. I realized this one day I was driving down the street and almost ran into the car in front of me because I saw a fly outfit in a boutique window. This is definitely a problem. Being in love with all things fashionable can be a burden on your wallet so I've decided to become a "thrift-er" (thrift store shopper). Now, I know some of you may think that wearing someone else's used items is not something that you're accustom to (I use to feel the same way). However, there are a lot of thrift stores that are set up like boutiques, sale very trendy items, and that don't have that normal thrift store smell. Here are a few that I've checked out recently: Brown Elephant 5404 N Clark Street, The Daisy Shop 67 E. Oak Street 6th floor, and Clothes Optional 2918 N Clark Street. The best thing about these shops is that they carry some plus size clothing (Yay) and you can mix and match pieces to create several different outfits. Let's take our love for fashion to a higher level and save some money at the same time. Fashion and saving, what a combination?

Muah!
