Recessionista Part 5: The Final Wrap Up

Holy cow! It is pretty windy around here. Today's photo shoot has officially been compromised! ;)

Today is the final wrap up of the "recessionista week". I hope I have inspired some of you to get out there and take a peek into the local consignment shops and thrift stores around your area. Did you know that most of all the profit from these local shops go to benefit those in greater need? Helping others in your community all while looking cute to boot? What could be better?

Even if you are still a little anxious about this type of shopping, I urge you to get out there and try. Go with a friend or family member, take pictures, laugh--make it fun! You just never know what you will find...you may be pleasantly surprised. Have a great time with it and enjoy!

I also want to send out a quick thank you to my readers out there who have put up with these fun, silly photos I've been posting over the last five days. I don't know how fashion bloggers do it! I am so jealous of the amazing pictures I have seen on other blogs around the web. You have all inspired me and I hope to one day take pictures that are just as fabulous as yours.

My last great trendy find of the week was this royal purple Yves Saint Laurent pencil skirt (with pockets n'all). YSL!!!  The price?  $2.50. I mean, come onnnnnn! This is seriously just plain stealing, right? This skirt is perfect for work and adds a pop of color without being too bright or distracting. I just love it!

Today's Photo Bloopers (they were all pretty bad)...

 Have a fantastic weekend. xo
