Refashionista's Guide to Yard Sales
It is very important that every fashion whore find the best bargain possible whiloe respecting the environment. In an effort to embrace this philosophy I have been going yard saling wtih my sister Che. She is the real expert on yard sales, Craig's List, Freecycle and all matters of recycled goods.
Here is what I have learned so far:
1) Negotiate
2) Start Early
3) Designer labels can be purchased for less than $10.00
4) Many items are basically new
5) Many items will not need refashioning or will need minimal work
6)If it is a good bargain don't worry that you can't try it on, if it doesn't fit, gift it.
7) Yard Sales are cheap fun entertainment.
*You will be amazed by today's finds photographed by Matt (the guy in the hat). Please see next entry
