I really wanted to enter the Cheap to Chic contest hosted by Bronzegoddess01 on youtube. The challenge was to find a cheap chic outfit for $20, the more pieces you buy the better. Of course, I am a Macy’s addict and I knew I could find several items for $20, but she also suggested shoes too. Hmmm…that made the challenge a lot harder for me. I went to Macy’s and searched for some clearance shoes under twenty when they were having their One Day Sale, but the shoes were not marked down too much below twenty and I would have left with only 2 or three items at the most. As a result, I decided to go to my local thrift shop and try to find an outfit. This was a huge challenge for me because I once told my husband that I was allergic to thrift stores and their clothes.
Surprisingly, I found so many items at the store I lost track of time. When I came home, I asked my husband to pick his favorite and the outfit he picked is my contest entry. I really adore the jacket because it adds a youthful sass to the ensemble. I have wanted a pair of dark blue versatile shoes and now i finally have a pair that add a dash of pizazz. This week I will post some of of thrifty fits. Please feel free to comment and let me know what you think.
My First Youtube Video and Contest Entry








You totally rocked it! Great video and superb outfit! I feel very inspired! I love to thrift store shop, but I always find myself starting with the baby clothes, and running out of time before I hit the women’s section!
Thanks so much for visiting my site and watching my video. I didn’t win, but I really enjoyed it. No more thrift store phobias here. Shopping at the thrift store when they are having sales make sense and I will be doing it more often.
Be blessed!
wow! everybody is not able to rock that outfit! But I do love thrift shopping. Next time you come to down, we must do some shopping together and leave the kids with the hubbies! HA!
