If you need to refresh your wardrobe DO NOT pay the full sticker price -- go consigning for good clean fun clothes. I get a rush when I take home 4 items for under $75 buckeroos. I can still have my $4 honey latte (new Starstruck item) & fill the tank & look good doing both of them

Consignment Shopping = Hubba Hubba outfit

Once you go consignment your never go back. Shoes, handbags, jewelry, & every item of clothing you'll want or need. I dare you to walk out of there empty handed. Crisp white French Faconnable shirts jump out at you in every corner of the store. J. Jill, Garnet Hill, Gap, Banana Republic & even t-shirts from H&M -- what more can a gal ask for??.

Best part -- you bring your gently used or brand new never worn clothes from relatives and once they are sold you have a credit to use. What do you do with all the left over money?? Treat yourself to that French Toast Mighty O Donut or buy some micro-brew (Laughing Buddha Pandan Brown Ale).

Yes, I am Minnie the Rescue Dog's Mom & she sniffs for bargains with me. My sidekick loves garage & estate sales too but that's another blog. I will give you many pointers on finding the best garage/estate sales on Craigslist & newspaper ads.

Until then, tell me your favorite places to find the best bargains! My favorite is Labels in Phinney Ridge -- they even have kid's & maternity clothes in case you get knocked-up like Juno..

Ciao & until next time retail schmetail, fugitabouit!

Next hub stop -- Garage & Estate Sales, I love this caffeinated guy on this one!!
