DIVA THRIFT STYLE CHALLENGE–Where oh where do you get your wears?
Ok with 2 more days to this challenge I am sensing that some of the fabulous Fashionista’s could use a little bit of guidance. Here is a list of thrift shopping locations that I highly recommend. I know you only have two days, but hey if you really are a Diva you can move mountains. If you can move mountains then the most you need is a few hours, $100, 5 inch heels and a whole lot of ferocity while you’re trotting through the stores to find your goodies. O.k, so maybe not all Diva’s are going to appreciate the 5 inch heels, but you catch the drift…right?
Let’s get started….
Goodwill ‘Glam’ Boutique (aka. Goodwill):They have locations throughout Ontario. The items are second hand but sometimes you might get lucky and find pieces that have never been worn. Check out their website to find a location near you.
Savvy Salvation Army Boutique (aka/ Salvation Army): It should feel really good to know that not only are you leaving a few extra dollars in your bank account, you are also giving back to a worthy cause. When you support the Salvation army you are putting money into a charity that helps the most vulnerable members of society. Good on you Diva!!
Thrift Diva’s Paradise: (aka) Value Village: If you are a regular thrift shopper, you probably already have every Value Village location’s floor plan etched in your brain. You just don’t mess around to find a good deal. So you know what I mean when I say this is a Thrift Diva’s paradise. Visit their website to find a location near you.
In addition to the major thrift retailers here are a list of small local thrift, vintage and or consignment boutiques.
I especially love Cabaret Vintage, The Way We Were (Georgetown).
I have heard great things about My Sisters Closet (Milton) and Twice Is Nice (Port Credit)
Also Think Twice (Mississauga) is having a closing sale, not sure what they have but it may be worth the try.
Want a modern thrifty find, check out a Joe Fresh or Walmart (one should never underestimate George) location near you . I promise that you will not be disappointed.

It is down to the wire, who is going to bring it? Drum roll please….
