Nifty-Thrifty

Shopping.

It's nearly every womens favorite thing to do. Yes, that includes me. I love the excitement of picking out new outfits, finding adorable shoes, spending hours in the dressing room and the satisfying feeling of carrying bags of clothes out to the car. I just can't help it. It's in my genes.

Or should I say, it's in my jeans....

Haha...get it, because you shop for jeans...haha...I'm so punny.

Ok, back on subject.

I love shopping, yes it's true. But... I loathe spending an insane amount of money on my clothes. It is rediculous! I mean c'mon! I am not, I repeat, NOT spending $100 on a pair of jean or $50 for a t-shirt. Are those people out of their minds? I am paying for stuff off my nanny salary here! (which btw is pretty amazing, I'm not complaining one bit, so don't tell my boss, K? ;P ) I can't afford that kind of stuff. It is just plain bonkers.

So where do I get all my stylin' clothes you ask?

Well I'll tell you my secret.

Thrift stores.

Yes, it is true. I, Rachel total fashionista and lover of all things pink and sparkly, shop at thrift stores. You'd be amazed at what you can find. To tell you the truth, almost all of my clothes are Name Brands. I have two pairs of Silver brand jeans that I bought at Goodwill for about three bucks each. Shocker right! My closet, along with the rest of my siblings have our closet stocked with brands like Gap, Old Navy, Silver, Zara, Crazy 8, Lands End, Vanity, Buckle and many many more! 

Now, I still shop for other things at department stores. Like boots, sports gear, coats and other winter accessories and many other items. But most of my shopping is done in thrift stores! I get all of my clothes (Which are totally adorable beyond reason :P) for only a fraction of their original price, find the stock my closet, AND save money all at the same time. Win, win right? :) And I get to put more of my hard-earned-cash into savings or spend my money on other things.

Such as ingredients for this delecteble homemade strawberry ice cream my little dude and I are pigging out on. Mmm mmm! It is so good! And healthy too! All that's in it is strawberries, milk, and Agave nectar! Blend those babies up and bingo! Uh-Maze-Ing! :)
