25 Cent Fashion

Never underestimate the often over looked fashion lords that are Salvation Army and Goodwill.  With a little bit of scouring and some luck, you can find that clutch oversized sweater or more abstract pieces that with some help of scissors, could become your closets'' newest addition.

I walked into Salvation Army two days ago with $10 to spend and a mission to find something new to wear. I was immediately drawn to the 25 cent rack as the Hawaiian shirts, christmas sweaters, and polyester pants were calling my name.  I came across peach capri pants that were probably well loved by some 85 year old grandmother (.RIP, unknown grandmother)  I loved the color and they were my size so I put them in my "yes" pile and continued my search.  

Pictured below are the before and after of my purchase...

Before:

  Looks great, right? As tempting as it was to wear out as is, my scissors were calling my name.

After:

New spring shorts!  It only took a good scour, 25 cents, a few minutes with scissors and needle and thread and voila! I loved sporting my own piece  (err, sorta mine. Is that unethical to take credit for these?) and they even fall in line with this seasons color pallet.

I left the the store with 7 items and spent $13 (so I can't stick to a ten dollar budget, sue me).  I'm already excited to go back to see what other good finds are waiting for me.
