What's the Best Fashion Deal You've Scored Lately?

I'd like to think I'm in an in-between stage with my body -- I had my twins just about three months ago and while I'm not fitting into all my pre-pregnancy clothes, I plan on it someday.

In the meantime though I need to get some clothes that fit...and look cute. And most importantly, not spend a lot!

To the internets I went! My favorite way to shop is online...it's so much easier to go through the sale section than to sift though a sale rack at the store. But I do know women who are pros at it -- I'm just not one of them.

I also subscribe to my favorite stores' mailing lists so they alert me of deals and coupon codes.

I ended up buying a pair of jeans, exactly like the ones I already have, just in a size that fits. We won't talk about the exercise bike I splurged on to fit into those other jeans.

Are you a savvy shopper? What is the best fashion deal you scored lately?

About the author Michele Zipp

loves vintage and will defend skinny jeans to the death though she is highly superstitious and "death" is probably a bad word choice. She has a touch of the hoarding disease and enjoys sleuthing, the worst reality shows, and wearing high heels, even at the playground. She's an AP mom of twins, slightly crunchy but with a pedicure.

Crocs, free! Thanks to Cafemom. :) Though I think many of you would argue the "style" aspect, but I got ones that look like ballet flats!

I've been avoiding the sale racks because I'm trying to lose weight and I don't want to waste money on clothes that will be too big in a month or two.

I do love a great deal though on clothes. I'd much rather shop a sale rack in a store than online for most things but I'm not opposed to shopping online for a good deal :)

I found the cutest tore up skimmy jeans at Debs in our local mall at $10.00, and then went to Walmart and bought two shirts by Miley Cirus's clothing line on clearance for .50 cents a piece!!!!! This was all this past weekend. Good Deal!!

Banana Republic had amazing sales the last couple weeks, 30% off anything in the store and then additional discounts on top of that. I was able to pick up a cute spring scarf for like $10 (originally $40)!!

I have not shopped for myself in awhile. I must say though if I can I will not buy anything at full price. I am a big Kohls, TJ Max and Target shopper, because of the sales. I also look for the 75% off sales in the clothing dept of my local Meijers. They are usually off season but I have been known to wear it anyway cuz I love in MI. And you know our weather here. LOL! So those are my best shopping finds. The 75-80% off end of season sales.

I found a pair of boots at the bass outlet for about $20! They were originally 120 or something, but they were having $75% off all boots and then I had a card for an additional 25% off. I wanted to buy 10 pairs. haha.

I never buy things full price and I am always looking for great deals! I recently found a cute top for $3 in Target and a cute pair of spring shoes in Payless, totally made my outfit with skinny jeans that I own!
