Hi Clueless Fashionista—glad you’re here and that you’ve made good use of Kathryn’s book! :) We look forward to hearing more from you . . .

Hi. I’ve been enjoying the blog for awhile and finally decided to sign up to use the forum. Thanks!

Hey Christinat! Glad to have you here—hope you find some good tips, and feel free to add a few of your own!

HI! I’m new here. I’ve become more interested in fashion over the past few years (especially after losing 30 lbs!) and while I’m willing to splurge on some things, I like to be thrifty for most of my clothes. I like name brands, so I tend to try to find really good sales. I just stumbled onto this site, and it’s really great!

HI again!

Love this site and the blogs! I am a single mom and student so I am always looking for great deals on clothes, shoes, accessories, etc. Thanks!

Been a member since January but this is my first post.  Love the site and all the suggestions.

Hi all and welcome! We’re glad you found the forum—always glad to see new “faces”! :) Looking forward to your input . . .

Hi newbie Kelliblue here! 

I found this site while desperately trying to find out whatever happened to alt.fashion, a former Usenet discussion group I used to visit a LOT.  Seems like it’s dying if not dead, so I wanted a place to ask questions or talk about fashion...especially for those of a more ‘rubenesque’ nature. :)

So...hi all!  :)

Hi Kellieblue and welcome! So glad you joined us and look forward to hearing more from you. Love your avatar by the way!

I am always for a place to learn MORE ways to shop for less because I am young, fashionable but I refuse to go into debt to look my best! Also I have a unique style so this will be an awesome resource!!!!

Hi keydi.pressley—welcome to the TBF forum. We like your philosophy—hope to hear more from you!

Hi everyone,

New to the boards and the site. What a great resource!  I’ve never been a fashion follower, but still like to look good. This site helps me find deals and get ideas without having to work too hard for them - just the kick in the pants I needed!  Plus, I’ve just lost about 35 pounds and need to replace my wardrobe.

And having said that, I have to reveal that my current “wardrobe” is truly pitiful.  I literally have just a handful of clothes that I wear over and over and all of them are now way too big.  We’re talking about 3 pairs of pants and about 5 tops, a couple pairs of shoes.  And that’s it!  Am I the anti-girl, or what!?  Lol.

So now that I’ve lost this weight and shopping is actually fun again, I’m just starting to build a real wardrobe from the ground up.  At age 42, it’s about time I start dressing better, don’t you agree? 

Looking forward to chatting with y’all!

Valerie

Hi Digigirl and welcome to the forum! Congrats on the weight loss success—I’d suggest you look at Kathryn’s advice for rebuilding your wardrobe here. And also feel free to start threads for advice, and dish some of your own . . .

Hi, I’m Penny. I took a few years off of work and one day realized I was living in sweats every day so I made a goal to improve my wardrobe and what I wear. I love a real bargain and have been doing more thrift, consignment and outlet shopping. I also run a decor blog http://darkstyleblog.blogspot.com

We have just opened our online boutique, Cadeaux Collection. My partner Monica and I love your blog and look to it for new ideas on fashion must-haves. We try to sell unique and chic accessories that appeal to women on the go with a budget in mind. We look forward to joining your forum!
