I recently saw an article talking about movie star Drew Barrymore attending a gala event in a dress that she bought for $25. at a thrift shop! That is pretty amazing when she can afford any designer dress she wants! I have a theory that not only is there a definite trend toward a more frugal way of living, but there is also a new appreciation of all things vintage and old style. Drew's choice of dress supports both of these ideas.

I absolutely love shopping thrift stores. I find the most amazing things there, for incredibly cheap prices! And it's fantastic for those of us who like to repurpose items. Even my ten-year-old daughter prefers to shop at the Goodwill over department stores. That's a bonus for me, as they grow so fast it hurts to spend too much for an outfit!
I saw this online! I love Drew! I am also a fan of thrift store shopping. I find the most amazing quality pieces at the local Salvation Army store that fit perfectly! The other benefit to saving money is that it is a green way to shop for clothing, rather than purchasing new.
