Purpose

I love fashion. I am a teacher and don't have a lot of money to spend on clothes. About five years ago, I discovered thrift store shopping. Wow, what a wonderful day that was. Now I have been voted the "Best Dressed" teacher for five years running. I hope to show others how thrift store shopping for vintage items can be fashionable for all ages and styles.

Sounds like fun, huh.
