Bargain shopping for recruitment

I'm sure some ladies are shopping for recruitment even as we speak and tons of stuff is on sale right now. It can be hard to put together 3-5 outfits on a budget, so I thought that we could share some of our best bargain shopping links:

On-sale dresses, tops and shoes

Ross Dress for Less
http://www.rossstores.com/

Clearance at Macy's

Clearance at Nordstrom:

If you HAVE to have a Lilly, here's where I would check:

RE-Lilly Facebook group
Gently used and New Lilly
https://www.facebook.com/ReLilly.Gro...Resale?fref=ts

Zappos
New dresses (a little less expensive, but not much)
http://www.zappos.com/lilly-pulitzer-womens-clothing~7

If you REALLY want to hunt you can search Ebay and Shopgoodwill.com and if you find something that works, have it dry cleaned:

Lilly at Shopgoodwill.com
Completely random and of all vintages
http://www.shopgoodwill.com/search/S...&showthumbs=on

Lilly on ebay
Less random and more new stuff

The girl who runs this blog posts her daily outfits. They're cute, and all usually from stores where bargain hunting peeps like to shop.

I've also seen a zillion cute and cheap dresses at several TJ Maxxs/Marshall's in my area, as well as a Lilly Pulitzer skirt from last year's print collection that I purchased.

I liked the outfits on the blog but toe cleavage seriously grosses me out. Apparently some people find it sexy...?

I am the queen of bargain shopping and I love re-sale shops. In my area there are two really good resale places. One is a bit more upscale, I got a Shoshanna dress there with the tags still on for less than half price of the original price. They have Pucci, Gucci, Lilly, etc. You name it, they have it. The other good shop in town, has some of the higher end brands but nothing still has the tags in it. I got a very cute Lilly dress for $28. It's a vintage dress and the people running the store had no idea, it could have been priced much higher.

Also, vintage stores often have older Lilly prints (10 years or more) that no other PNM is likely to have.

If there is a Plato's Closet near you, definitely go check it out. It is a clothing resale shop and they only take good/next to new quality clothes from hot brands. I found a cute midweek (philanthropy/house tour/whatever the 2nd or 3rd round is at your school) dress for $6 on sale! Even if you're not searching for rush clothes, it's still a great place to shop.
