What's In Store: Joyce Leslie

This weekend I went shopping with my cousin since she wanted to find an outfit for an 80s pool party, so we naturally went to Joyce Leslie. The affordable fashion retailer is a staple on the East Coast. Until this weekend, I hadn't stepped foot in one of the stores in years, but as an undergrad, I shopped at Joyce Leslie at least every other week when I wanted a cute $20 dress. Though quite a few of the clothes were adorable, I also saw some major misses.
Check out what I found at Joyce Leslie, plus quick tips on what to look for and avoid when shopping at a "cheap" clothing store.

thrift shopping tour, looking fly on a dime tourLast weekend was my first group thrift shopping tour of the season and we had a great time. In between helping shoppers score some cheap chic finds, I was able to snag a few items for myself. And of course I want to share what I bought as well as some tips I gave the thrifters on the tour.One recurring theme was how to step out of your style comfort zone, particularly when it comes to ditching a neutral heavy wardrobe and embracing color.
