You need to edit the title to include the word barter or something; more people need to read this!!!! That was so nice of you to find a way to bless your needy friend while allowing her to save face by trading jewelry for the dress. And you made out like a bandit as well! *happy sigh* I love it when a plan comes together! I totally understand the giddy-endorphins too! </p> <p>The scarves you got on eBay are a great collection. I can't wait to see you start sporting some of this great loot. Thanks again for sharing this wonderful, feel good story with us. I'm cheezin' big time! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-fashion-karma-i-will-now-be-accessorized#post-641786 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 04:25:14 +0000 christieanne 641786@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress is going to make your friend very happy! It looks great on you too. She had some very nice pieces that will give you so much to play with - I like the two long necklaces and the bronzey pearls the most. And your new peacock scarf is so beautiful!<br /> Accessories are so fun - I like shopping for them more than clothes (they always fit so right there it's a win win!) . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-fashion-karma-i-will-now-be-accessorized#post-641770 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 03:42:42 +0000 Anonymous 641770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so wonderful, I love reading stuff like this!

I think it is great that you could help each other! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/good-fashion-karma-i-will-now-be-accessorized#post-641407 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 21:07:02 +0000 Abie 641407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it was Claire who posted recently about how people budgeted for accessories and I mentioned I barely had any. I have always been pretty clueless about picking them out and I get overwhelmed for shopping for them. The few things I owned were given to me or picked up thrift where something just caught my eye but options were limited. </p> <p>When I went thrifting last week I had a crazy thing happen. I walked into goodwill and headed to the dress rack. The first thing I spotted was MY Kiyonna dress! A dress I love and wear often. I knew I was going to grab it to either save for a rainy day or pass on to someone that wanted it. As I inspected closer I found that it was NEW, with TAGS. I knew then I was going to resell. </p> <p>I'm in a Facebook group that is an offshoot of my online playgroup for moms that had babies the same month as I did. This offshoot group is about thrifting and we post pics of what we find. I had to post the dress and tell the story. I mentioned there that I was planning to sell. </p> <p>A friend from that group mentioned that she was jealous because she loved that dress and I know she close to my size. She had also mentioned it before when I posted a pic of me wearing the dress. She is on a tight budget so I knew she would not buy the dress from me. I kept thinking about it though, I wanted her to have it, but she wouldn't want it as a gift, especially after I posted about how excited I was to resell. </p> <p>A couple days later I remembered that she had mentioned before how she used to sell premier designs jewelry and had boxes and boxes, more than she could ever wear. It occurred to me I should propose a trade maybe the dress for a necklace or something. So I did, and she sent me picks of TONS of stuff she had. I really liked several things and I asked if it was all extra, and if she needed more clothes. I went through my closet and pulled out several things I thought would suit her that I needed to purge and we did a trade. Both of us super giddy. </p> <p>The pictures below are the necklaces I got in the trade. The pendants are all removable or interchangeable. </p> <p>Also related to accessories, a few weeks ago I thought i might try some inexpensive summer scarfs and looked on ebay, buy it now, sorted by lowest price. I was surprised that there were some that caught my eye so I bought a few, including the one I wore today. I spent less than $10 total on scarves. I added pics of the ones I got. </p> <p>Also a pic of the dress I own where I found the exact one at goodwill. </p> <p>Not a full accessories wardrobe by any means, but at least I feel like I'm in the game now =)</p> <p>Pictures</p> <p>1 I got the pink stars<br /> 2 I got the blue and orange, and pink and green<br /> 3 I got the blue and green<br /> 4 Yellow, purple, blue peacock scarf<br /> 5 Me wearing ebay scarf today<br /> 6-13 Necklaces and pendants I got for trade<br /> 14 Me in my Kiyonna dress. The goodwill dress I traded is the same, new with tags </p>
