The Lowdown: Broke? Like, really broke, but still want to look presentable at your friend’s office party (cause it’s all about the free food)? Then head to your local thrift store to score a holiday dress.
Who’s it for: Those with patience, sewers and other crafty folks, vintage fashionistas, up and coming fashion designers, and people who don’t mind wearing used clothing. As a rule of thumb do not spend more than $20 on a thrift store dress, thoroughly examine the dress for any stains or spots, do a smell test (if it smells funky, leave it on the rack) and have it dry cleaned before wearing.
Buy it: Your local Goodwill, Salvation Army, Junior League. Also online at ShopGoodwill.

Shopgoodwill.com is a gold mine, and horribly addictive. Just bought an Adrianna Papell 100% silk beaded top for $20. Fits perfectly and it’s utterly gorgeous, plus has the tags still on. I did a little happy dance around my house. Now if only I don’t bankrupt myself $20 at a time….
