Summer School with Sex and the City


What’s the number one thing that’s influenced your style? For some, it may be someone they see often and secretly wonder “How do they know to put that together?” For others, magazines are the secret to dressing success. For me? Reruns of Sex and the City do the trick. I was watching last night (What can I say? I still can’t say goodbye) and heard Carrie say


“I’m looking for the perfect $7 dress to go with my new $300 shoes.”



This describes my shopping experiences to a T. I justify spending the money on shoes because you can wear them with more than one thing. And the cheaper the dress, the more you can have. There are a bunch of places in Columbia that you can find that perfect, little, cheap dress. I’ve mentioned this store before but the His House Thrift Store on #1 has tons of clothes, be prepared to dig deep. All clothes there are $1, and I almost always find a cute vintage dress there. Sometimes they need a little altering, but the $1 price tag added to a $10 tailoring fee? A perfect dress for a grand total of $11! If digging through piles of old, ahem vintage, clothes isn’t the thing for you, the Goody’s in West Columbia has a ton of cute, cheap clothes. Good Luck! I'm back to watching Sex... :D
