How to shop goodwill like a pro continued!
Now if I know one thing about you RTC gals, it’s that you love a good bargain. You relish the thrill of the hunt and love to share your findings with others. Why not reacquaint yourself with the treasure trove that is your local Goodwill store. So you’re thinking “Goodwill? Isn’t that the land of mu-mus and polyester?”
Long, long ago, I wrote a blog about my relentless search (and by search, I mean I literally searched, via google), for cute, affordable clothes.

So, you’ve totally revamped your wardrobe with tons of RTC goodies. You’ve got all the right pieces for your wardrobe, but, something is missing…you need accessories! That’s right — no wardrobe is complete without accessories. I’ve already covered posts about shoes & handbags (which are crucial elements for every wardrobe), but I have not yet posted about jewelry.

Studs are especially in right now, and I’ve seen them everywhere — on shoes, jewelry, and handbags, to name a few places. I think this is a really fun trend to try, especially since smaller studs aren’t so trendy that they’ll be out of style in a few months.
Do you guys as into trendy shoes as I am? If so, you’ve probably noticed lots of stylish new shoes with studs, grommets, rhinestones, and other such accents. These shoes are usually within the edgy, rocker-chic or even punk lines of style…but, since they’re so trendy – anyone can wear them!

Moving on from getting shoes for less, let’s enter the world of handbags. Now, I would love to collect as many purses as I have shoes. Unfortunately, I’ve encountered a similar problem while shopping for lovely new bags: price. Some handbags are SO expensive! Still, when I see celebs carrying around fashionable new bags, it’s hard to resist trying new trends out myself.
