Fashion Friday

To our Fugalista Lifers~

Introducing our additional weekly segment called Fashion Friday. Check back here every Friday for tips on looking and feeling fabulous while not breaking the bank! We give you experienced style insight (like everyone, we've had our terrific shopping moments and terrible shopping moments... we will share everything!) and we offer plentiful advice on how to shop, reconstruct and wear clothing, accessories, shoes, beauty - everything in regards to fashion!
Thanks for joining us for Fashion Friday.... today's tip:

Nothing wrong with being thrifty!

OK, we do suggest that you stay away from the sequent shoulder-padded thigh length dress you found collecting dust in the back of your local thrift store- even if it's only $1. Soon enough, you'll have a closet filled with 50 questionable "dollar-finds," and you'll then realize what you could have purchased that would be a excellent condition and in season (a new bag and pair of shoes at Target, perhaps?). However, what we strongly add is that you can find stylish, gently used clothing for a fraction of department store prices at various second hand shops your grandmother didn't sell to (we love you, Grammy). Here are a few of our favorites: Plato's Closet, Buffalo Exchange, Once Upon A Child, and of course, DIY. There are plenty of online stores, such as Deja Vu Vintage on Etsy, Snow Jane Vintage, Neon Life Vintage & Art House Vintage (...we like vintage). Have fun, and don't hesitate to ask us anything! Your fashionistas are here to help ;)

Now- here's the sweet part. If we reach 300 followers by October 31st, I will have a random drawing and give away a goodie bag to our lucky winner!

PR & Contact Information

Welcome to Frugalista Life! As a bust working woman, I am very open to finding new products, books, and services to review, which cater to other busy women or stay-at-home moms who need to pinch pennies. The main base of my readers consists of other women, so I am particularly interested in doing reviews of products, books, and services that will help make their hectic lives a little easier. I value the respect of my readers, and I will provide one hundred percent honest opinions of every product I review. Doing reviews gives my readers a good sense of how and why a particular product, book, or service can be beneficial to them in their daily lives.

I am also open to doing giveaways in addition to reviews. Giveaways are a great way to get more people interested in your product, and they also help me to provide a nice reward for loyal readers of Frugalista Life. Giveaways provide a reciprocal relationship that is beneficial to both me, to my readers, and to the company who manufactures the product.

Before posting any review or giveaway, I do require that the product be sent to me first to make sure that it is something that I feel comfortable recommending to my readers. If I receive the product and truly feel that it is not something that would be beneficial to my readers, I will be sure to contact you before posting a review.

If you think that you have a product, book, or service that would be enjoyable to me and to the people who read Frugalista regularly, please do not hesitate to contact me via email at frugalistalife@gmail.com.

We are also open to advertising opportunities as well, so please contact me via email at frugalistalife@gmail.com if you would like to discuss becoming a sponsor for this website.Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to working with you.
