I am a classic dresser with a touch of trend.
Well, whatever way you dress, having several interchangeable pieces
can save you time and money.
Story time:
My grandmother introduced me to second hand stores when I was in middle school.
At first I was appalled. I thought: Why are we buying used clothing?
That's when I learned the value of a dollar well spent. She explained "name brand" clothing, quality sewing, and the cost involved.
She showed me Oscar de la Renta (her favorite designer) and the quality that went into the sewing and lining of the garment.
Then she let me go and pick whatever I wanted. I had never had that freedom in a store. I found a jacket, a skirt, some pants, and a blouse.
Present day:
Today, one of my favorite brands 
I found a suit for 12.50, a skirt for 12.97, a pair of pants for 1.79, and another pair of pants for 4.99.
These are interchangeable pieces that I can wear for years.
Some people would say I'm cheap and that's okay. I'm saving money for travel, entertainment, education and retirement.
