Welcome Friends of Fashion.

Hello to All. My name is Chandra. I am a lover of music, fashion, tea, animals, our earth, designing accessories, family and mostly, love. I enjoy collecting tea pots, craft supplies, Compact Discs, nail polish and above all clothing.
I have started this blog to focus on just that...clothing. Thanks to my beautiful mother, fashion has been my friend since I can remember. I first fell in love with it as a young girl when I was able to stylize my very first outfit complete with rain boots, ruffled socks, polka dot leggings, a character shirt, and an incorrectly buttoned up rain jacket. And still, as a woman in my mid- twenties, I simply cannot get enough of it.
This blog is meant for those of you, who like me, happen to be a buyer on a budget, earth friendly, and/or simply have a passion for the world of fashion. As a lover of the earth, a finder of great deals, and a designer of fashion accessories, I plan to show you ways to recycle and enhance items in your closet while spending little or no money.
I will often times feature ideas involving my "Thrifty Three". These are three simple categories that will help you expand and embellish your wardrobe while still keeping your finances in check.
My "Thrifty Three" are as follows:
1. 2WBT1(Two ways are better than one): With this label, I will display at least two ways to wear one item of clothing. This allows you to add novelty and variety to your closet without adding detriment to your finances.
2. RR (Reuse, Recycle)-Embrace Secondhand: With this category, I hope to encourage you to fall in love with thrift stores, hand-me-downs, and creating new from old. Recycled/Reused clothing is not only good for our earth, but can be very useful to a savvy fashionista. This is where we will get creative with items of the past. Any item can be stellar with the right stylizing.
3. +a (Add accessories): Finding a bargain price on accessories and/or designing pieces of your own can add a whole new look to outfits you already own. Accessories can be an inexpensive way to complete, amplify an/or redesign a look.
Referring back to my "Thrifty Three" will adorn your style, expand your wardrobe, and reduce your spending. And remember, the "Thrifty Three" often go hand in hand. Don't be afraid to mix and match these tips.
The photos I will share will feature my "Thrifty Three" and much, much more. Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you enjoy. -Chandra.tcs

I Have My Mother's "Jeans".

Hello Beauties!    Hope you all have been able to discover some lovely looks while playing dress up in your closets these past few days. This week, I am posting for those of you who enjoy a look that is fashionably funky.    This week I am very excited to show you two ways to wear a very easy to find "hand me down" item. ( RR-Embrace Secondhand ). Anything high waisted is one of my favorite looks for this year. Fortunately, most of you probably have a lady in your life who owns a pair of "Mom" Jeans. If you don't, no need to fret, they are very easy to find at your local thrift store. Look for a pair of high waisted jeans in any color. If they happen to have a wide leg cut, here is a quick trick to help give them more of a modern feel. Step 1: Put on a standard pair of jeans with a wide leg cut. Step 2: In the back, tightly gather the bottom of the jeans and tie a hair tie or rubber band around the bunch you have created. Step 3: Roll the jeans up...

Weekend "T" for three.

Hello Fans of Fashion!    As spring nears its end and the weekend approaches, I am eager to post this week's 2WBT1 item. Using your creativity with basic items is an excellent way to expand the possibilities for your inner fashionista.  Two weeks ago, I featured a fabulous navy, mini skirt.    The most fabulous thing about this mini skirt is that it isn't really a skirt at all. This item is actually a very versatile T-shirt dress. T-shirt dresses are splendid for the buyer on a budget. They are quite easy to find at a great price and are extremely functional.     As a lady who loves fashion and tends to overbook my spring Saturdays, I thought it best to show you three great ways to wear your T-shirt dress on a busy and sunny weekend day.  Wear it as a skirt: Saturday Morning Outing With this look, I chose to wear my T-shirt dress as a mini skirt. To create a look that is both cute and comfortable...

Fancy Feet: Post 1.

Hello Friends of Fashion! It has been far too long. Hope you all have enjoyed these past few weeks and have been able to add summer enhancements to your closets without breaking the bank. For me, this past month has been filled with summer events that have kept me away for a while. Unfortunately, plans for a busy August will most likely continue to keep me away. However, it will be an excellent month filled with party planning, weddings, and concerts. As I may be MIA for most of the upcoming month, I felt I should leave you with a taste of what is to come later this year... This post is a preview for those of you who are, what I like to call, "Shoe-a-holics." ;) Sometimes, I find shoes at thrift stores that seem as though they just need a splash of personal adornment. Other times, shoes that I already own begin to seem repetitive and just need a bit of upgrading. Often times, I simply crave a shoe that offers a unique style and a touch of personality. Being a lover of c...
