Aside from shopping sales, I’ve also learned how to find the gems among the endless inventory at fast fashion retailers like Forever 21 and H&M. Although overall quality isn’t always the best at these stores, it’s worth spending a little time to find the pieces that look like more than they’re worth. Case in point: this windowpane blouse. I found it at F21 a couple of years ago, and it’s become a staple in my wardrobe. The same is true for this black blazer, and really the lesson is not to write off certain stores even if they require a little more effort. (By the way, if you live in the New York City area and you want me to teach you how to navigate these stores in person, drop me a line!)
Let me also tell you about these tights. Perfectly opaque and warm, and the soles have a massaging cushion for extra support. Kushyfoot sent me a selection from their current line, and my feet have been loving them! Check them out online, or at select retailers.
