What's in Store at Payless, summer accessories

I haven't been to Payless in what seems like forever. And why would I, I'm still going strong with Thrifty Threads 365. However, I was out with my cousin and she wanted to pop into the affordable shoe chain to find some sandals. While she was browsing, I was focused on the prices because in the past I remember being amazed at a $60 price tag for one of the designer collaboration shoes. I mean, it's Payless, is anyone really going to pay that much?!
Luckily on this visit, I wasn't dumbfounded by the prices and I saw a few cute shoes and accessories for summer.

swap party meetup, how to host a clothes swap party
Summer is officially here, so I'm sure you're storing your coats, jackets and heavier threads to make room in your closet for breezy garments. Besides thrift shopping, one of my favorite ways to update my wardrobe is via clothing swaps. Just like thrifting, it's an eco-friendly affordable way to introduce new-to-you threads. But unlike thrift shopping, the clothes are free!
Sure you can check out a clothing swap meetup in your area or you can host your own.
Check out five tips to host a swap party.
