Welcome!

Upon arriving home from The Windy City after a long weekend of show-going and people-watching, I have finally been inspired enough to sit down and start this blog. So, I suppose the most important part is to explain briefly, yet thoroughly, my concept. First, you must know, I am a SLAVE to FASHION. I go to sleep thinking of pieces in my closet I can resurrect and pair with something different, something new. I lay awake dreaming of accessories and a-line. Its a problem. But, one defining feature of my enslavement is that although I LOVE expensive clothes, etc. I simply cannot afford it. It is a rare occasion I will go boutique or department store shopping. Some items are splurge-able(later to be discussed,) yet on the whole I have found a fool-proof system in which you can LOOK expensive without BEING expensive. I have always been doted on for my creative sense of style- "I wish I could pull that off"s and "I wish I could afford that"s Well ladies and gents- The jig is up!!! I spend almost nothing on many and most of my favorite pieces. And now, my secret is yours. If you follow my advice and hopefully continue to follow my blog, I can assure you that fashion will become a little easier and as promised, a little cheaper! So lets get this TRENDY AND THRIFTY party started!
