A Good Thrifty Tip
March 18, 2011I don't know about any of you, but finding blazers/jackets/coats in my size is nearly impossible. I find some of the raddest blazers in the women's section, but alas, they're almost always too big. Maybe jackets that made you look like you were drowning in them was the style 20+ years ago. I dunno.
About (gosh!) 6 years ago, I went thrift shopping with Chris (yup this was pre-marriage) and his oh-so-hip buddies. While us girls were waiting for the boys to try stuff on, we were wandering around the boy's section looking at all the cute blazers. I just happened to find the above blazer & fell in love. I also found a button up shirt in the boy's section that I still wear often. A good tip if you're an awkward size: try a different department. I've had great success finding sweet deals in the boys, girls & mens departments on clothes for me! Try it next time you're at the store (I do this at Target all the time). You're bound to find something unexpected & fun!
