Even the thrift stores get into the act. Regardless of the chain, each holiday means a 50% off sale. This includes Savers, Goodwill, Salvation Army, and even the smaller chains and mom-and-pops. They even get started early sometimes, starting the sales on the weekend before the holiday. Now, doing this very simple math, I (or you) can get some amazing deals. Sometimes, the stuff is almost free. For example:
This sequinned jacket was $5 with half off. Yes, I got a black sequinned jacket for $2.50. So stylish. So on trend. So not my size. So, I gave it to my daughter.
I already had the purple sequinned bag. It was a freebie from that dirty dig at what I call the "hoarder house". I hauled a couple of carloads of stuff outta there. I get all itchy just thinking about it. I also get all happy when I look at this bag.

What comes to mind when you think of vintage glamour? Fur certainly comes to my mind, and this mink stole is gorgeous! I found it for $30, with 50% off (of course). Fifteen bucks for a mink? THAT, I can do. Ironically, it's the same amount I paid for another stole a few years back. Personally, I don't wear fur. But trust me, I've got plenty of takers.
I also found several purses and bags, a dress, a scarf, a sweater, two skirts and a CD. I showed great restraint, spending less than $40 total. More importantly, I found things that will find themselves immediately in rotation in either my daughter's, my sister's or my wardrobe. You may recall that on Sunday I announced that I was on the hunt for a red dress. I found one in a black and red print, that fits well and will work just fine. Until I find a red dress, that is. The next holiday is Valentines' Day. If I don't find a red dress at a Valentines' Day sale, then the red dress just isn't out there.
