As you can probably see, there has been no activity over on this blog since last year. It's not that I haven't been busy blogging, it's just that I've been completely focused on Too Cheap Blondes, a joint effort between myself and my blogging partner, Pippa.<br />
<br />

I picked up this gorgeous pedestal soup tureen from Goodwill the other day for $5. I first passed this gem up because it was missing its ladle and lid. After making another pass though, it hit me. This would make a great planter for my succulents!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, $5 later and 5 minutes of replanting time and I have this gorgeous centerpiece for my patio table.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Just another reason to think outside the box when you're thrifting!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Once again, Jen and I are pushing
ourselves to recreate looks from “O” MAGAZINE at a local Goodwill store. We printed up several looks and set out for one of our hardest
challenges yet!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">From "O" Magazine:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wearing a maxi for day is a very fashion-forward look. But the skirt
needs to be long enough—it should be no shorter than half an inch from
the bottom of your shoe.</span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>How to Wear It:</b> Choose a style that is streamlined but has some movement, and pair it with knits and booties or menswear-inspired flats. <b>If You’re Short:</b>
It may seem counterintuitive, but a long skirt can make you look
taller. Make sure the hem of your top doesn’t hit much lower than your
natural waistline. <b>If You’re Tall:</b> Experiment with layered tops, like a sweater and vest or loose, diaphanous tees. <b>What to Avoid:</b> Pointy stilettos, knee-high boots, or anything too dressy. “Rugged shoe styles are fresher,”.</span>

<div class="featuredimage" style="text-align: left;">
<b>Jen and I have decided to do our own personal challenge, recreate an outfit all from a thrift store!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Maybe that sounds easier than it is, but we only went to one store!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Today we printed up several looks from “O
Magazine” and went into a thrift store to style a similar look. This
DEFINITELY pushed both of us out of our comfort zone … we thought
outside of the box and didn’t quite hit the mark on a few looks but we
will show you the ones that we are quite proud of!<br />
<br />

Pencil Skirt</h3>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even in a va-va-voom shade, this pencil
skirt is more casual than cocktail party: Flats, a scarf, and a rolled
denim shirt complete the weekend look.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
At a local Goodwill Store we found a boys
XL chambray shirt for $3.99 and a red lace skirt for $6.99! At these
prices we can be generous and throw in the scarf $1.99 and belt $2.99
for a complete look priced at only $17.96!<br />

I've wanted to attend this event for the last couple of years and for one reason or another have been unable to. I'm so glad I made it this year!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Envision this, a New York Fashion Week-quality runway show featuring the latest fashion trends. After the gorgeous models finish walking the catwalk, their couture outfits hit a clothing rack that is then rolled out into the audience. Next, it's first come, first served to grab the coveted pieces, most ranging from $30 to $150. Hold the presses...Chanel, Prada, and St. John (many with tags still attached) for less than $150? You read that right. This isn't your average fashion show, it's like walking into your favorite thrift shop, fully stocked with gorgeous, high-end items, and having a catwalk right in the middle of the store! I think that I may have cried a little I was so happy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can't express how much it warms my heart to see women in their high-end cocktail dresses and Christian Louboutin's thrifting!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">What a fun evening that in the end raised money for a great cause, supporting the operations of The Women's Home. The bonus, Pippa and I scored some beautiful pieces such as the Tory Burch tunic and brand new Oscar de la Renta dress below!</span><br />

Specifically, people ask why I shop thrift stores if I can afford not to. They also ask why I take all of the "good stuff" from people that really need it. Let me address each point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">First of all, I grew up poor. Destitute. I spent my entire childhood shopping thrift out of need, so I know how it feels to have thrift shops as your only clothing option. While I now can afford to shop retail, old habits are hard to break. I simply don't like overpaying for things.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Second, while I never felt embarrassed to shop thrift even when it was hard to make ends meet, I know that others wouldn't be caught dead in a thrift store. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'd like to think that my TV appearances are helping remove the stigma. I'm actually proud of this.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Third, I specialize in vintage clothing. Last I looked, you can't find a vintage blouse at Macy's.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Fourth and most important, the money I spend at thrift stores is helping people. If people like me don't shop thrift for "moral reasons", Goodwill's revenues decline. It's that simple. In fact, check out their mission statement. </span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">MISSION
STATEMENT: To help change lives through the power of work. Goodwill
provides career training and placement assistance for employment. <b>We
support our programs through profits generated through the sale of
donated goods. Nearly 90 cents of every shopping dollar we receive
help fund educational programs and services that assist people in
finding better jobs and building careers.</b></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Note that their primary goal is to generate funds to help people train for and obtain employment...not to provide clothes to those that can't afford to pay retail prices.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Finally, let me address whether or not I take all of the "good stuff". There are thousands of thrift stores in the U.S. On average, I sell 3 to 5 items per month. I really don't think I'm emptying the shelves. Finally, I don't think I'm buying items that are in high demand from the disadvantaged. I certainly didn't shop for vintage clothing when I was looking for a job and couldn't rub two dimes together.</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I do admit that a minute percentage of people will suffer as a result of my actions. They won't get that Hermes scarf or Chanel skirt because I found it first. On balance, however, I sleep well at night knowing that my actions are contributing to charitable efforts and convincing the up and coming that there is no shame in shopping thrift. </span>Doodle Heartshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04306636737741744417noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612165896114312638.post-7627227831979008662013-07-21T16:04:00.000-05:002013-07-21T16:04:18.996-05:00Road Trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico.<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">My husband tore his calf muscle while playing tennis Fourth of July weekend. Because of this, our vacation plans that we had scheduled for Mexico got canceled and we decided to take a road trip. Translation, I got to do all the driving. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">We wanted to escape the Houston heat so we headed up to Santa Fe, New Mexico, about a 900-mile drive. Did I mention I did all of the driving? Anyway, of course I can't visit a new city without checking out the thrift scene.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Santa Fe only has one Goodwill so this was an all-or-nothing trip. I honestly didn't have high hopes based off of the horrible 1-star rating that this location received on Yelp.com. But, I never accept online reviews of thrift stores as true representations since many of the reviewers are not seasoned thrift store shoppers and can be easily scared away if they don't score on their first trip.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I hit the Santa Fe Goodwill on a Sunday morning. The store was easy to find and had plenty of parking. Once I walked inside I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was well organized and clean. I spent about two hours going through the racks and I think that I hit on some major scores! According the the Yelp reviews, this store had nothing but cheap, out of style clothing that was overpriced. After looking at my pictures, I'll let you be the judge and decide if these reviews were on target.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So, what do you think? Does this store deserve these reviews:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"This particular Goodwill seemed to pull from perhaps a lower-income
donation base. A lot of the clothes were brands that come from Wal-Mart,
Target, Penney's & the like. You're probably not going to find a
Valentino dress hiding in the racks, but you never know :-)" <br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"I was sooooo disappointed with this Goodwill. I guess I'm spoiled by
the ones in my home area - possibly because they pull from high-end
neighbourhoods and always have great stuff to find. Sadly, this one in
Santa Fe just wasn't that way.<br /><br />It was medium sized, and had a lot
of shoes. Sadly all those shoes were worn out looking. The clothes
were very much "old lady" clothes for the most part. Mum and I did find
a few cotton gauze skirts (in NM in the summer we found we *really*
hadn't packed enough lightweight clothing!), but I couldn't find any
tops that I even liked." <br /></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">"One of the worst Goodwill shops I've seen in terms of stuff for sale. I
even saw a rusted grater on the shelves -- seriously people??!! I did
see one Staffordshire china cup for 99 cents (hideous) and an occupied
Japan serving bowl for $3.99. Where do all the wealthy people of Santa
Fe donate their stuff???"</span> </li>
</ul>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The lesson for the day: Don't judge a book by its cover! I'm so glad that I stopped in to this store. The employees were absolutely delightful and the store was packed with great finds!</span>Doodle Heartshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04306636737741744417noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612165896114312638.post-30976567659055308752013-07-21T15:29:00.005-05:002013-07-21T15:29:48.765-05:00Shop Jen's Closet on Live Well Network's Mirror/Mirror!<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I am beyond thrilled with how this segment came out!

The designer is Mary Ching. I've never heard of her and could only find an accessories and shoe designer by the same name. The quality of the dress is great. When I first saw it, with its jeweled neckline, it instantly reminded me of the stunning red dress Monique Lhuillier showed on the runway this year. I think it was a great find for $9.99! What do you think?</span><br />

Indeed I was. Turns out she had been interviewed by these same students and therefore had learned about me. Fast forward to a week or so later and "Jen & Pippa's Friday Thrift Store Finds" was born! </span><br />

Thrifting in Dallas.<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Last weekend, my girlfriends and I made a trip to Dallas for a girls' weekend. Of course, I couldn't go to another city without checking out the thrift scene. We decided to visit a few Goodwills, since I'm pretty partial to them.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Our first stop was the Goodwill located in Garland at <span class="Apple-style-span">1661 E. Northwest Hwy. </span> </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I found this Pins and Needles cardigan from Urban Outfitters for $2.99. That's it. After two hours. Not exactly the haul I was looking for. On to the next stop.</span></span><br />

I knew that there had to be a Goodwill in the city where the good, name brands ended up. There always is. The problem was I only had one day to find this elusive Goodwill. So, I pulled out my top secret thrifting notebook and...I'm kidding, I just asked the cashier where the best Goodwill in the city was. Luckily, she was kind enough to steer me toward their corporate store at </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">3020 N. Westmoreland. After the dismal day we had had, I have to admit that I didn't hold out much hope for this location either. Maybe Houston really was an enigma and the thrift stores in other cities just weren't going to be as great. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span">So, in the end, it was a GREAT thrifting day, but it didn't come easy. We shopped from 1:00 to 7:00, non-stop and looked through massive amounts of clothing to find these few gems. The lesson of the trip was to not get discouraged if your first few outings don't pan out. It's thrifting, and it's unpredictable. Eventually, if you have enough patience, you'll score a major find...and then you'll be hooked like me!</span></span></span></span><br />

Wow, what a day! I found some absolutely gorgeous vintage pieces today. Unfortunately, my friends, I'm only willing to part with one of them. :-( I know, what a tease. I will however show you a few pics of some gorgeous pieces that I'm keeping for myself. Who knows, I may part with them in a few weeks. I'm fickle like that!</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
So, the piece that I'm selling is an AMAZING Victor Costa dress from the 80s. This dress is to die for. So much fun and still beautiful after all of these years.</div>

Okay, now for the tease. I found the most adorable, amazing little black jacket today. It's a vintage piece by Fred A. Block and the quality and styling are just impeccable. Truthfully, it's a bit, okay, a lot too small for me but I just can't part with it just yet. What do you think?</div>

The next piece is an amazing dress, I'm guessing from the 60s or 70s with fabulous attached cape/sleeves! Now, the question remains, where am I going to wear this beauty? Halloween maybe? If you were to incorporate this into a costume, what would it be?</div>

Today I have two totally unrelated dress. The first one is an ultra preppy Vineyard Vines seersucker dress that is brand new. So gorgeous. The second dress is straight out of the 80s! This dress is beyond fun with its black sequined top and rainbow large disc sequin bottom. Great for your Halloween costume or an 80s party. Actually, I think if you removed the shoulder pads, you may even be able to get away with wearing it to a non-costume party. I think it's fabulous!</div>

Well, it's finally starting to feel like fall in Houston. While it's still very warm in the afternoons, the cool, crisp mornings are making it a little easier to handle. So, regardless of mid to high-80s in the afternoons, I've started rocking my jeans and boots. A girl can only hold out on her fall wardrobe for so long! I am so over summer clothes.</div>
