Shopping for free!

 I'm sure we're all well aware of how the economy is at the moment.  Over the last couple years it's become more and more common that instead of buying those 40 dollar pair of shorts, we save our money for another day ( or hopefully, an equally perfect, cheaper pair of shorts ). Thankfully though, the fashion world is hearing our cries of desperation and ...what's this??- Vintage is in. The easiest, cheapest way to update your wardrobe while also being on trend is shopping in your mothers closet. You like her old denim jacket? Borrow it, take it, tell her the dog ate it and run like your life depended on it. Now hopefully it wouldn't come to that because I'm telling you, nothing makes a mom happier than feeling like her clothes are stylish enough for her little fashionista. I went raiding through my mom's closet and found treasure upon treasure. My favorites were these high-waisted shorts from the 80's. They're flattering and give me a pinup style look paired with an off the shoulder top. Thrift stores are also another great idea. Just make sure you wash before you wear. Either way there's always a diamond in the rough; it just take a determined bargain diva to find it.
