Frugal Finds: Winter Blowout

Weather near the Great Lakes is pretty brutal late winter, as most of the snow and chilling cold hits mid-late February. I usually wait until this time to bust out my heaviest winter gear. I despise the winter, and I hate having to drop the cash on the big coat, warmers, and winter boots (although some cute, inexpensive boots can be found here).

However, while browsing my favorite secondhand store, I found most of my late-winter gear for less than $100!

Hat: David & Young, $16
Coat: Old Navy, $30
Bag: generic, $40

Frugal Finds: Fishnet Top by Frederick’s of Hollywood

I have a friend whose name is Shanna, and one of our favorite things to do is to randomly ransack a local secondhand clothing store, scouring for unique clothes, jewelry, and accessories to add to our wardrobe.

My lastest find is an edgy yet feminine top by Frederick’s of Hollywood, $10.50. What a combination of materials: fishnet, ribbons, and lace! I tried this on without much thought to accessorize, so feel free to add your own opinions as to what you would pair this long, sheer top with, or whether or not its even your thing. But that’s the beauty of secondhand shopping: you’ll come out with hard to find pieces that are truly you.

Loves it!
