When I read magazines (even the less expensive family magazines) that show examples of outfits for 'budget prices,' the pieces sometimes add up to $200 - $400 dollars for one complete outfit! I'm always suprised that while individually the pieces cost less than designer, together they come up to quite a lot of money. Here is an outfit I put together from Goodwill finds that cost about $12 all together. The jacket and top were NWT (new with tags). The grey skirt has a trumpet shape and swings nicely. I didn't want to cover the interesting bottom of the shell top, so I used the crop jacket instead of a long one. I carried a Paloma Picasso retro handbag that I also picked up at Goodwill. The jacket, top, skirt and purse were each $3.00. I'm happy people give nice things to Goodwill for me to find. As I said, one girl's trashin' is my fashion :-).
