It is not every day that one finds a $700 suit for $20. My jaw dropped when I looked up the retail price - and it fit, to boot!</p> <p>Renae and Misia, I'm trying to pass at least some of the bargain hunting tips on through the blog... it is a topic I'm very passionate about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/super-proud-of-myself#post-386086 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 04:18:05 +0000 Misia 386086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I should hire you to find me such a great bargains :)<br /> He looks great!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/super-proud-of-myself#post-386056 Sun, 17 Jul 2011 03:08:56 +0000 Katiepea 386056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats Rae! I tried to leave a comment on your blog, but for some reason my computer, or your blog didn't like me &lt;sniff&gt;. Anyway, I was trying to say that I loved the read, what great advice, and the picture of your friend on the sun-louger had me giggling like crazy. Finally, in answer to the question posed in your photo - "indeed, I do!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/super-proud-of-myself#post-385866 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 20:31:16 +0000 Scarlet 385866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Floored!

I really can't believe how well you did (not from your lack of skill but based upon my shopping trip for my son's grad a few years ago) and such totally awesome finds. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/super-proud-of-myself#post-385472 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 03:39:18 +0000 Debbie 385472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did a great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/super-proud-of-myself#post-385465 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 03:31:47 +0000 Lisa 385465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/super-proud-of-myself#post-385395 Sat, 16 Jul 2011 01:39:29 +0000 Aida 385395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe at least he was giving you feedback!

Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/super-proud-of-myself#post-385167 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 20:11:24 +0000 DressLover 385167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is not shameless self-promotion! I just read your post and think you are helped your friend immensely. As we were discussing in another thread, men tend to purchase based on immediate need and price is secondary. I think it is great you saved him from potentially walking into a store and being preyed upon by a commissioned sales associate who could tell he was in need and wasn't a seasoned shopper. You are so sweet to help him gratis; I'm sure you could charge for your services! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/super-proud-of-myself#post-385163 Fri, 15 Jul 2011 20:02:02 +0000 rae 385163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I normally dislike to advertise my blog posts here, but I'm just so tickled with how a recent shopping trip turned out that I wanted to share. My male friend was in serious need of inexpensive office and job interview clothes, and we were able to find a ton of stuff for about $50 total. :D</p> <p>It feels so good to use shopping skills to help others - see, fashion is NOT all about vanity!</p> <p>If you'd like, you can take a look at how dapper he looks here:<br /> <a href="http://onedollarwonders.blogspot.com/2011/07/50-mens-business-wardrobe-capsule.html" rel="nofollow">http://onedollarwonders.blogsp.....psule.html</a></p> <p>(Sorry for the shameless self-promotion!) </p>
