Foxy Brown

Hi There!

Picture this. You're perusing the aisles of your favorite thrift store.  You see a lady checking out a fabulous chocolate brown leather coat - the one you've been dying to find. You size her up knowing A) It won't fit her and B)  She sooo won't do it justice. You linger... silently pray... and then plot on how  to trip her up, snatch it and run when suddenly comes to her senses and puts it back on the rack! You profess your love to Jesus and move in for the kill. The leather is butter soft -just like you'd imagined. You slip her on and she fits! You check the price tag and it reads $20. She's so worth. You get to the register and it rings up $10. Sigh. That...was a good day.

Hi there fab divas!

Another fab day of shopping our thrift closet! It's amazing the things you find when you  put yourself on thrift restriction. Take these polka dot gauchos for instance. The sis thrifted it earlier this year and pulled it out of her closet today for a lil colorful fun! Fabuless!

Bows and Manicures

Hello Fab Divas,

It's Monday...again. Exciting right? As I let the sarcasm drip from my words, let's focus on what's important... My sister is rocking the hell outta these damn bows! She thrifted this skirt a year ago and do you believe she never wore it? Sad to say that happens often in our world. So, we've actually vowed to shop our closets for the next couple of weeks and avoid the thrift stores -well more like visit only one a week - baby steps here people!

The Look

Blouse| Goodwill $3.25

Skirt| Goodwill $4.25

Pumps| Bakers $25

Earrings| It's A Deal Thrift $.50

Now on to the manicure. The sis and I are polish junkies who whole heartily believe a fab  manicure completes any look. I've been linking up with some  amazing bloggers, La Lynn and Lip Gloss & Binky, for MANICure Monday. Make sure you stop by their blogs and check them out!   Here's s my manicure for the week.

My polish is Wet & Wild Sugar Coat. I am obsessed with this color!

Have a great Monday!

Laters Divas,

Back to Work Monday!

Hi there!

Happy freaking Monday! Hope you guys had an amazing Thanksgiving! We spent Thanksgiving in Myrtle Beach with my sister's in-laws and let me tell you...we had a blast. The time was well spent eating, shopping, laughing, making memories and more eating. Needless to say, today this week is gonna be rough! Yep, it sure is!

Let's focus on this skirt. I thrifted this fabuless hot pink skirt last year. It was during  my very 1st thrift experience from what is now, one of our favorite thrift stores in Summerville, South Carolina. She's just been sitting in my closet patiently waiting for her debut. Best $.99 I've spent in a very long time!

Laters Divas,

Polka Dots and Squares? Yes Please!

Hi there Fab Divas!

This week is all about mixing prints. My sis is in my opinion, the print mixer! This chick will throw the oddest patterns together and make it look runway ready! Like today's OOTD - who the hell would've thought polka dots and squares would be such an fab collabo?? This AMAZING vintage polka dot romper was one of the items she scored at the Swapnista Day Party we attended in Charlotte last month. Check out how she styled it!

Laters Divas,

Hi there Fab Divas!

As promised, we wanted to share a few more items we thrifted this weekend in Charleston.  It seems we always find the best handbags and clutches in the Charleston area! If you remember our previous post A Necessary Accessory, many of the bags came from a thrift store in the Summerville area. All I can say after this visit is...Charleston girls are serious about their hand bags!

All of these handbags we're only $2.99 from the Goodwill on Dorchester Road! It was a good day!

Laters Divas,

Hi there Fab Divas!

This weekend was greeaaat! Sis, I and the kids traveled home to Charleston this weekend to visit family and of course THRIFT! We got our thrift buddies- Twanna a sisterfriend and our fave cousin Nikki, to join us and off to the Goodwill we went. There are so many thrift and consignment stores in Charleston and in the next few months, sis and I will be making it our business to visit them when we travel home. We found some really great pieces - clutches, blazers, shirts - and will be sharing our finds with you over the next few days. Let's start with shirts shall we??

We all work in corporate America, so we were looking for casual work attire that could also transition well in to night. I think we did well...

Thrift Tip Reminder: Try Everything On
