I was recently on the verge of going into what I would dub a shopping freeze–meaning I was going to stop shopping at the beginning 2012, and begin again in 2013.
Was I high on crack? I realized I couldn’t do it. But what I did do was change the way I shop. I’m lowering my price limit to waaaaaay down. And this is how I’m doing it.
I’m shopping in vintage stores. Now, one can still spend a lot in Vintage stores especially if the pieces were high to begin with, they’re only going to come down so much.

But, I’d like to share with you my most recent purchases and what I spent on them.. The first is an adorable, never before worn grey shift mini by Vince. The average dress by Vince is around $300-$400. I paid $56 for this one.
Next up, I found this wool blend Esprit shift dress. It’s brand new online at Esprittoday for $111.00. I paid for this never-before-worn $22.

Last but not least, I got this little number at the Thread show in SD. It’s a complete knock-off look of a Halston Heritage averaging $400. I got if for $32.

Now, my winter shopping is done. Seriously….
