Cincinnati Style

This past weekend my sister and I went to Cincinnati to visit some of our family.  While we were there we HAD to go shopping because how could that not be included as part of a fun weekend with the girls? 

Here’s a run-down of everything that I bought:

•         5 pair of shorts
•         8 Dresses
•         3 Skirts
•         1 pair of Jeans
•         2 pair of pants
•         3 pair of capris
•         3 bikini bottoms
•         2 pair of shoes
•         10 shirts

Now if this was a story about normal shopping I would have spent on the ups of $500.  However, this is me we’re talking about and my cheap self only spent a little over $100 on all of this!  The most I paid for any one item was $7!

So now you’re wondering how I did this, and if you’re not then you’re obviously reading the wrong blog.

There is a chain of stores in the Cincinnati area called the Snooty Fox. http://www.shopsnooty.com/  It’s an upscale consignment store offering brands like J. Crew, Banana Republic, Ann Taylor Loft, and Vineyard Vines…just to name a few!  Consignment stores are some of my favorite stores to shop at because you never know what you may find!  These stores are really great because they only take clothes that are in good condition and their prices are really reasonable.  Plus every store has SO MUCH STUFF!!  Here are a few of my favorite Snooty Fox finds! 

These shorts are from White House Black Market and they were definitely one of my favorite purchases!  I paid $3.50 for these! 

I found this pink scalloped Banana Republic Skirt for $1.00! 

I have been searching for a pair of pink capris for I don’t even know how long and found this pair from Express for only $5.00! 

We also stopped at the Gap Factory Store which is just outside of Cincinnati in Kentucky. http://www.gap.com/products/hebron-ky-store-3111.jsp  This store carries Old Navy, Gap, Athleta, Piperlime, and Banana Republic and is absolutely huge!  Everything is divided into Men’s, Women’s, and Children’s, and further into pants, shorts, tops, dresses, etc..  Prices are normally set by brand (for example all Old Navy dresses were $4.99 while Gap dresses were $6.99).  They also have specials on certain items depending on the time of year and/or sizes.  They had a special on all sizes/brands of Ladies’ shorts and all brands of Ladies’ Jeans size 00 and 0 for $1.99 each!

I got this pair of Gap Jeans for $1.99. 

I bought several Old Navy Dresses.  This is one of the cotton dresses that I bought for only $4.99. 

I also found this super cute pair of Banana Republic Flats for $.49! 

If you are ever in the Cincinnati area, I highly suggest that you check out these stores!  This is only a small sample of the amazing deals that I found!  If you don't plan on making the trek to Cincinnati anytime soon, check out some of your local consignment shops.  You never know what you may find!

Thanks for reading!!
