Every day I am becoming more and more open to receiving the great abundance of the universe.
If you aren't familiar with Swap.com, they are an online consignment shop, home to hundreds of thousands of items, some new, some vintage, all at huge discount.
Since I knew Sean's birthday, as well as Valentine's Day were fast approaching, I decided I would go for a date night look. I started by searching for lace dresses, and finally decided on this one by Free People, which was new with tags for $40. Since I didn't actually own a simple black coat, that was the next item I started searching for. By using the search modifiers, I was able to easily narrow down size and color options to find a great Lauren by Ralph Lauren cashmere blend coat for $35, which left me with shoes, the biggest challenge. I looked and looked, and it took me a couple days, but I decided to take a chance on a pair of vintage Andrea Pfister pumps for $12. And then, because I took too long to find the shoes, someone else bought the coat! There being no shortage of black coats, I settled on this H&M wrap coat for a mere $16, bringing the grand total of my look to $68.
It's always worth it to shop secondhand, give clothes a second life, get some unique items, and get unbeatable deals! If you are ready to give Swap.com a try, you can get 20% off your first order and free shipping!

What an amazing look for such a great prize! I love the dress and heels you chose! I haven't tried swap.com yet, but with those prices I need to!
ReplyDeleteThe fact that this whole look, including a cashmere blend coat, came together for under $100 is nothing short of miraculous - particularly considering that I spent more than that on the last one item of clothing I bought...! While I tend to only go for secondhand handbags and generally prefer my clothes new, I have to say you have me very tempted to start investigating swap.com!

It's a beautiful dress Lydia! I love those shoes! The price for clothes nowadays is super crazy! LOL They keep going higher and higher. Same for shoes. Swap sounds like a wonderful service. I buy second hand and don't think twice about it.

I love a good date night look that doesn't break the bank- this lace dress is so stunning! Love the cool hemline!

What a bargain of an outfit! It's nice that the site is so easy to shop, second hand shopping often takes a while if you're hunting on racks for something specific. This is a beautiful outfit too.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a lovely week :)
