I cannot tell a lie, I live for a good deal. While I scan Rue La La, Gilt Groupe and other designer retailers more frequently than I would like to admit (in search of said deals), I love me a sales rack. The"thrill of the hunt" mantra is precisely why I'm partial to Marshall's, Filene's Basement and Forever 2,1 where a little bit of digging is required to find pieces that are not only special but fantastic for my wallet. Plus, who doesn't love getting a good deal? It feels so good and helps me validate my habit to my shopping-bag-fearing-husband. That said, here are a few looks I've assembled this week that are almost completely compiled from bargain basement retailers and/or the sales rack.
This top may be one of my new favorites, it is so soft and cozy for fall! I scored this Dolman top at Marshall's on a Sunday and it was on Gilt Groupe the following Tuesday for $20 more than I paid, booya!

I wore this to work and a Pampered Chef party. For so vehemently hating leggings for over a year, I fully embraced them in 2010. I am glad I did, it is hard to deny comfortable style some days.

| Top - Forever21, Leggings/Necklace - Target, Shoes - DSW Clearance Rack, Beaded Bracelet - Craft Fair, Silver Bangle- Ann Taylor Loft Sale table |
Like the previous outfit, this one is almost completely from Forever21 and Target. This was my attempt to spice up my Monday, disco shoes never hurt in that case.

Any other bargainistas out there? I know I can't be alone here. Have a happy Hump Day lovelies!

I love a bargain! I've just recently signed up for Gilt - mostly I cruise shopbop.com for their sale stuff. I love cozy gray things so I'm seriously coveting your shirt in the first outfit.

Oh yes! We love a bargain for sure. There is no other way to go! Your shoes from DSW with the bows are soooooo CUTE! Love them!

Finding a great bargain is so much fun. It's definitely a good idea to scoop something up as soon as you see it or else it will be gone.
I love the disco shoes! See, flats don't have to be boring.
Love the super cute hair clip.

Dang you do color like NO ONE'S BUSINESS! NICELY DONE!
You have the cutest dresses ever, and you look infinitely better in them than I do. I am not a dress person! I wear skirts a lot, but dresses ... I can't seem to pull them off for any reason other than a special occasion. It's a shame.

I totally LOVE a bargain! And girl, you've found some fashionable items! All your outfits look great, and the awesome accessories really spice them up! First, love the rebraided necklace from CC! Second, love the bow shoes from DSW! Third, loving your sassy look with the feather and your party feet!

I'm a total bargain girl! I only shop at thrift and consignment stores - I work at one which makes it twice as hard not to buy everything up!
My favorite is that gray dolman top you scored at Marshalls - love the tie detail in the front and that necklace is beautiful!!!

If there's one thing I learned from these three outfits, it's that you have a knack for accessorizing. I also love a good sale rack. In fact, I refuse to pay full price for anything, which is why instead of getting a cheap dress at Forever 21, I prefer to wait for one at J.Crew to reach the same price point. There's a lot of waiting indeed and more often than not they are out of my size, but it's worth it.
OMG I must have the shoes with the bows! I love that color blue on you and you have great legs!
You have great taste in accessories. I love your bow shoes. EEK! They're darling. And you look gorgeous in bright blue.
I love a good hunt and am an avid thrifter! With a small budget, I try to make smart decisions on what I buy and look for quality and uniqueness. My goal is to someday have a well curated closet--one where the words, "I have nothing to wear" are never spoken. Wouldn't that be lovely?
