Clothing bargains at Personal Closet

Wednesday, August 15th, 2007

Personal Closet is a website where you can buy and sell clothing. I like it better than Ebay because there are no fees involved for sellers (except if you use paypal) and buyers don’t have to mess with waiting for an auction.

From their website:

“We know that just about everyone reading this (as well as those who aren’t) has something in their closet that they don’t wear. PersonalCloset.com is a place regular, ordinary people can buy, sell, and donate their new and lightly used clothes without the uncertainty of an auction environment, nor the extra auction-related fees that add extra expense and confusion.”

You definitely have to dig through the site to find anything really great. But it is most assuredly worth the effort. This tunic was one of my finds:

Striped Offshoulder V-neck Knit Tunic $6.90 plus $6.00 shipping.

I have already listed some random stuff that I have picked up here and there to see if it will sell. You can check my stuff out here. And I have tons more to add!

XOXO Top from 15DollarStore.com

O my beating heart, be still. I adore this shirt, from the color to the style to the necklace. It’s very casual chic. Top with some bronze jewelry, bronze metallic shoes, and jeans, and you’ve got a knock-’em-dead casual ensemble! And this shirt is only $15. Unfortunately, it’s in the site’s last call section, which means if you don’t grab one before they run out, you’ll miss out on this great shirt.

SO Solid Crewneck Tee from Kohl’s

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

shirts-0-solid-crewneck-tee.jpg

This crewneck tee is available in four different colors: red, blue, yellow and green (pictured). For warm days, pair this with a pair of shorts and strappy sandals or flats. For cooler days, you can wear it with a long-sleeved white shirt underneath, and a pair of jeans with ankle boots, or even sneakers. There are numerous ways to wear this shirt, and for $3.60 (originally $12.00), it’s a great deal. :)

$100 Series - Ensemble from GoJane.com

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

GoJane.com is one of my favorite websites. They have a Deal of the Week, and I always fall in love with most of the stuff I see on their website. Here is my first post in the $100 Series - an entire ensemble, shoes and accessories included, for under $100 (excluding tax, and shipping & handling).

This short-sleeved top in mustard yellow would give a striking contrast with the black pants below. With a keyhole back and a gathered bodice, this shirt is guaranteed to get you noticed. Available in black, mustard yellow and navy blue, this cute shirt will set you back $25.99. Dry clean only.

I’m still in a retail therapy mood. Online that is. But trust me, I am waiting patiently for the Memorial Sale that I know is going to happen this weekend at the Air Foce Base that we frequent during the weekends. Remember my $4 Ralph Lauren top? How about the $8 UNIONBAY pants? Just check out my Friday’s Bargains after reading this post to get an idea of the kind of deals that awaits me this weekend. :)

Anyway, here are more tops that is helping this ailing fashionista right now. Wait till you see how much they are and where I found them :)

Online Retail Therapy : Under $20 Blouses

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

After a very volatile and shocking day from watching The View, I had to do something to clear my aura, heh. I felt I needed to do some retail therapy. The one true tested cure for what ails every fashionista in the world. LOL. Hey, it’s better than eating a whole bundt of pound cake, right? Not that I do that anyway, i’m just saying. But since this Momma is broke, I had to do it in a way I wouldn’t regret at the end of the day. Online Window Shopping. Yes, the credit card is a few steps behind me but a Bargain Styler would always think first before buying something. Even if it’s actually on SALE.

I love printed blouses. I’ve been trying to slowly keep adding them in my wardrobe staples. The inception of different prints like florals, geometrics, dots, nature tones, and stripes these days are making me a happy styling Momma.

So what did I find for under $20?

American Eagle Sunset Tank Top

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

The colors are vibrant. First one is Teal, 2nd is Daffodil yellow, the last one is Jetty Grey. The graphics certainly add cuteness to this summery tank top from American Eagle. The front AND back V necklines gives a sexy touch which I never say no to ;) . Just a little bit, not too much, of course. For $14.95, Hey, bring on the humidity :) .

Any of these tank tops would look great with either jeans, shorts or skirts. BTW, there’s also a white version of that Daffodil one but I didn’t include it here since I was only going for the colors :) .

Graphic Tee #1

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

I’m doing a Men’s Graphic-On-One Side Tee series over at SheKnowsBest.com so I thought I’d do a women series here as well.

graphic_tee1.jpg

I found this Sugar and Rox eagle rose tee from FiveTone for only $4.95. It used to be $29.95. Nice eh? If they have it in medium size I’ll be all over it. So lucky for you small sizes, you can have it to yourself. Hmmph. :)

I love graphic tees. They’re perfect for regular days just with jeans, shorts or even skirts, like I did with this one.

I have more graphic tees to feature so keep coming back :)

What I Wore : Bold Print Skirt and A Tee

Monday, April 30th, 2007

mulit_look1.jpg

multi_look2.jpg

Remember that multi-print skirt that I went gaga over which I only paid $4.98 from it’s original price of $58? What about those ‘beater tees that I bought in different colors for only $4.88 each? Here they are, in full force :) . Wearing bold print fabrics can be a litlte tricky once you think about accessories. With that in mind, I stucked to a solid color. There is black on the skirt so I focused on that by wearing my black long necklace with cross pendant and black dangling earrings. The cross necklace gave it a “hippy” look actually. I loved it.

To continue with the black accents, I wore a black flip flops that I bought from the PX 3 years ago.

What I Wore : Belted Smocked Top W/ Red Heels

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

red_belt_look1.jpg

When I finally got my wide belts from EBAY, I thought to myself, “hmmmm, SELF, I’m sure there are are outfits we could come up with other than wearing the belts with dresses“. :) I’ve already wore the white belt with my off the shoulder orange tunic. And I planned on wearing the red one with one of my LBD’s.

Anyhooo, a light bulb went off and my bold printed smocked spaghetti straps babydoll top jumped at me. I’ve heard women say they don’t like wearing smocked tops because it makes them look pregnant. Well, I just found a solution for you. Wrap a belt around it. Wide ones though. Skinny belts wouldn’t work. I found this smocked top at Wal-Mart 3 years ago for $9.99(yes I still remember it), the red belt from Ebay, 2 for $15, L.E.I low-rise Chelsea jeans, $19.99. The Xhilaration green beads necklace from Target(on sale, $3.99) is actually a long one but I turned it into a double-strand look with this top because I know the color will get lost once mixed into the printed smocked top. AND of course to add to the red accent I was going for I wore my oh-so-orgasmic red heels from PAYLESS for shoes. The whole outfit worked perfectly, don’t you think?

red_belt_lookth.jpgred_shoes.jpg

Co-incidentally, Sasha thought of accenting her smocked top with belt as well. Sometimes I think we’re twins. Except she’s the prettier and skinnier one :).

Anyhooo, DECODED denim mini skirt, $14.99, Metro7 black baby doll top which drives my husband crazy coz my boobs look like they’re going to pop out in a snap from Wal-Mart, on sale for $3. Mossimo brown/black wedge from Target, on sale for $12.99. Pink beads necklace, $1 from Flea Market, a beads bangle bracelet, gift and I actually wore silver hoop earrings from a 3-piece set I bought from Goodys for less than $5.

I’m not saying get the exact same thing. Well you could do that :). These are ideas on how to piece certain items with other items. I bet you didn’t think that I’d entertain that linen blouse?. Wrap a skinny belt around the waist and you are good to go :). You can also wear this blouse and belt combination with black or white trousers and black stilletos. The possibilities are endless :).
