Country Strong

Dress: H&M, Boots: Ariats, 

Did I tell you? Lord Kelvin loves to be photographed. 

Many times when I walk into a consignment store I am scared off by the dwelling musky odor that has settled over everything. However, my experience, (yes, I was able fight my way through the lingering ‘ick’ left in the air by previous people who were,)  you can receive great rewards for your endeavors. I found these Ariats, cowboy boots, which are usually upwards of $180, unused for about $30 at Buffalo Exchange. Now I know if you’re like me you’re already grabbing your purse ready to head out the door to see if there are any there for yourself, but let me remind you it takes a lot of patience. You may not find something the first time, or the second time, but the third time (it’s always the charm) you may be quite pleased. 

There are always people out there far less fashion savvy than us that have no idea what treasures they are giving up. And I guess it would be appropriate to say the famous adage: One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
