The Budget Fashionista

To say that I love DSW is an understatement. I actually wrote a love letter to the store in my book. I know pretty much all the stores locations in the PA-NJ-NY tri-state area. I shopped there way before the commercials (which are brilliant). What I like most about DSW isn’t just that it has low prices on designer shoes like Marc Jacobs, Via Spiga, Stuart Weitzman, etc at amazingly low prices—but the store has amazingly low prices on designer shoes in hard to find sizes. I wear a size 11 and for years the only designer discount spot in town was the shoe rack during Nordstrom’s Half Yearly Sale (or Nordstrom Rack if you’re lucky enough to live near one). Then DSW came along and leveled the discount designer shoe playing field not just for big foot fashionistas like myself, but also for our very petite, size 6 and below sistas. 

The trick to finding the best deals at the store is go on a Thursday or Friday in the morning (or during your lunch break). On the weekends the store can be messy and the staff non-existent.

Feel free to email me any pictures from your shopping adventures, with the date, store, and location of the items (stuff *at* thebudgetfashionista.com) and I will try my best to post them on the blog.

Here’s one of my finds last week at a local DSW:
