strawberry-fitting-room-fast-fashion-houndstooth-crop-top-fitted-dress Last week I had a few minutes of down time so I did something I haven't done in about a year and a half. I went to Strawberry. If you don't know what Strawberry is or totally forgot they existed, Strawberry is an affordable retailer in the northeast that's comparable to Forever 21 and Wet Seal. The pieces are trendy and wallet friendly. And I used to always {and I do mean always!} shop there when I first moved to NYC.Fast forward a few years and the pieces are still trendy and the prices are affordable for the most part. Check out what I found, including the most adorable, ladylike skirt and how to know when to walk away from a cheap chic find.

However, I have found a few brands I love {Forever 21, Hudson and Rock & Republic for Kohl's!}, and if you're still struggling, here are a few tips to use when shopping for jeans. These are the fitting room do's and don'ts of denim shopping.

sears-metaphor-collection-sears-review-whats-in-store-looking-fly-on-a-dime Last Saturday my afternoon consisted of brunch and a trip to Sears. Yes, Sears. I haven't been inside one of their stores in at least six months. But now that my Thrifty Threads 365 challenge is over, I'm back to seeing what major department stores have to offer and if they're worth the price.Well, there was good and bad. From the high price and low quality of the Kardashian Kollection to the Sears line I wish more people would pay attention to, see what's in store at Sears!
